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.
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.
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.
