Our Approach

How we delivered it

1

Installed GPS tracking hardware on all 320 buses with 30-second position update intervals and driver behaviour monitoring (harsh braking, speeding).

2

Built a parent-facing mobile app (Flutter) with real-time bus location, estimated arrival time, and push notifications when the bus is 5 minutes away.

3

Developed an attendance integration module that automatically marks students present when their bus departs the school.

4

Created a driver performance dashboard for fleet managers with monthly scorecards and automated coaching prompts for unsafe driving events.

5

Delivered a parent communication portal where parents can report absence, update contact details, and view their child's boarding history.
