Transport Management

Run your school's transport fleet without a separate spreadsheet for every bus

Route planning, driver assignment, vehicle maintenance schedules, and transport fee collection — all connected to the same student and parent records the rest of your school runs on.

Route & stop planning

Build and adjust routes and stops as your student pickup list changes term to term.

Driver & vehicle management

Keep driver licenses, vehicle documents, and assignments organized and easy to audit.

Fuel & maintenance tracking

Log fuel usage and maintenance schedules so vehicle upkeep doesn't get missed.

Live GPS tracking

Parents see their child's bus location in real time from the parent app — see our dedicated GPS tracking page for details.
