Automated push notifications and SMS keep parents, employees, and drivers informed. Both are included in every plan.
A vehicle breaks down at 7 AM. Someone needs to call 35 families to tell them the bus is late. By the time the last call is made, the replacement vehicle has already arrived — but 10 parents drove their kids to school because they didn't get the update in time.
RouteBot sends push alerts for vehicle approach and school trip events. Location-based alerts use the vehicle's GPS, while a not-boarded alert uses the driver's passenger status entry. Schools and operators can also send SMS announcements to selected recipients and review delivery results.
Parents and employees receive a push notification when their vehicle is approaching the pickup point — so they can be ready at the door instead of waiting outside.
Parents receive school arrival and departure updates, plus an alert when the driver marks their child as not boarded. Vehicle location and passenger attendance are separate records.
Send an SMS announcement about a schedule change, replacement vehicle, or cancellation to selected parents or employees from the dashboard.
Send bulk SMS and review per-message delivery reports. SMS is included in every plan at no extra charge.
Open the demo to explore recipient selection and SMS delivery reports. In the mobile app, parents and employees choose their notification preferences and vehicle approach distance.
