Real-Time School Bus Tracking for Parents

How we built a mobile platform that gives parents peace of mind by tracking their children's bus rides in real-time.

RideWatch: School Bus Tracking Platform

Client

Industry

Education & Transportation

Duration

3 months

Overview

RideWatch is a comprehensive school transportation management solution that connects parents, schools, and bus drivers. The platform provides real-time GPS tracking, push notifications, and route management to ensure student safety.

The Challenge

Parents had no visibility into their children's bus rides. They didn't know if the bus was running late, when it would arrive, or if their child had boarded safely. Schools needed a better way to manage routes and communicate with parents.

Our Solution

We built a cross-platform mobile app using Flutter for parents and drivers, with a React web dashboard for school administrators. The system uses real-time GPS tracking, push notifications, and a QR code system for student check-in.
