Busbanz

For school and special transport companies

Bring live tracking, a family app and ready-made reports to every school

Busbanz gives your company a dashboard to plan and run your routes, an app for drivers and monitors, and an app so families can follow the trip. It all runs on the driver’s phone, with no devices to install in your vehicles.

What changes in your operation

  • More to offer every school. Show live tracking, the family app and per-route reports in your proposal. The school also sees its routes on its own dashboard.
  • Fewer calls to your office. Families see the vehicle on the map and get an alert when it’s close and when it arrives. Your team stops answering “where’s the bus?”.
  • Data to answer a complaint. Every trip is saved with its stops, its passengers and the speed of each stretch. You answer with the route history.

Your fleet and your routes in one place

What your operations team uses every day.

  • Live routes. All your vehicles on one map, with the progress of each route.
  • Route optimization. Splits passengers across your vehicles, groups nearby stops and builds each vehicle’s route.
  • Five-step route builder. Route type, schedule, vehicle and staff, stops and summary. Morning, afternoon or both.
  • Fleet and maintenance. Inspections, work orders and documents for every vehicle. It’s an add-on package.
  • Broken-down vehicle. Log the breakdown, assign the replacement and follow the handover from the dashboard.
  • PDF reports. Attendance, punctuality and breakdowns, ready to send to the school.
  • Bulk upload from Excel. Passengers, parents, drivers and monitors registered in one go.
  • Team and permissions. You decide what each person on your team can see and do.

How you get started

  1. A demo built on your operation. We show you the dashboard and the app with routes like yours and answer your questions.
  2. Data upload and setup. We load your vehicles, drivers, passengers and routes, with their stops and schedules.
  3. Training and launch. We train your team and your drivers, run a pilot and your routes go live.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install GPS devices in my vehicles?

No. The location comes from the driver’s phone with the Busbanz app open during the route. That’s why driver training is part of the rollout.

Can the school see the routes?

Yes. The school has its own access to see the routes that carry its students and their history.

What do families see?

They see the vehicle on the map, who is driving and who is on board, get alerts when the route is close and when it arrives, and can report that their child isn’t riding that day.

What happens if the signal drops on the way?

Sending the location needs mobile data. In areas without coverage the map pauses and updates as soon as the phone gets signal back.

How much does it cost?

Billing is per enrolled student, with a minimum of 5. The first month is free, for your whole fleet, starting when your routes go live. Book a demo and we’ll walk you through a proposal for your operation.
