Get exact, on-time insight across your school bus fleet, 24/7.
Protect student riders and give parents peace of mind. Every day.
Carrying students demands the highest standards.
We help you meet them.
Student safety allows no mistakes.
Parents trust your fleet with their children’s safety every day. That trust depends on flawless loading, unloading and error-free driving—especially at crossings.
Get on-demand HD video of driving behavior that affects student safety. Clearly document incidents to support constructive coaching. Train drivers to self-correct and reinforce safe habits.
Use driver-facing video to support student safety. Alert drivers in real time so they can self-correct unsafe behavior. Reduce risk before a lapse becomes an incident.
Record and report extended stop-arm violations and compile verified evidence for law enforcement.
Driver shortages strain service and budgets.
Unfilled routes drive overtime, inconsistent schedules and costly workarounds. Absenteeism and last-minute substitutions overwork your qualified drivers.
Use AI-powered route planning to increase route coverage while building, adjusting and monitoring routes in detail. Compare planned versus actual runs to eliminate inefficiencies.
Manage schedules online and let drivers clock in and out from their in-cab tablet. One simple workflow that keeps drivers productive all day.
Manual inspections leave too much to chance.
Visual or paper-based school bus inspections leave room for human error and missed defects. Minor issues go unreported, leading to downtime and compliance issues.
Digitize daily school bus inspections to catch issues early and reduce downtime. Verify inspections online, prioritize critical defects and resolve issues before buses are sidelined.
Turn fault codes into plain English. Monitor vehicle health, catch issues early and schedule repairs before small problems become costly failures.
Routes shouldn’t be a guessing game.
Relying on memory or inconsistent instructions makes it easy for drivers to miss stops, take wrong turns and fall behind schedule.
Give every driver clear, turn-by-turn guidance to arrive curbside on time—every time, even in areas with low connectivity.
Monitor routes as they happen, confirm on-time arrivals and respond quickly to delays—without guesswork.
Parents need a clear connection to their child’s ride.
Without clear communication, parents are left uncertain about their child’s location and safety, raising concerns and complaints.
Show parents where their child’s school bus is, plus route changes and estimated arrival times, so they’re never left guessing.
Build reliable routes that adapt in real time. Plan ahead, adjust on the fly and compare planned vs. actual trips. Turn-by-turn directions guide drivers curbside and on time.
Bring routing, telematics and student safety technologies together in one platform to help teams run reliable service and make better decisions.
You need insight, not spreadsheets.
Static reports and disconnected data make it harder to clearly justify spending to executive boards.
Create custom dashboards that turn dense fleet data into clear, actionable insights for safety, operations, finance and executive leadership.
Skip the manual reporting. We build custom Microsoft® Power BI visualizations around your data.
