The question every parent asks at 6:40am, answered before they ask it.
The driver or bus attendant confirms each learner onto the vehicle against the manifest. The guardian receives confirmation that their child is on the bus — and the school knows immediately if a learner expected at a stop was not there.
Guardians are notified as the bus nears their stop, so a child is not standing at the roadside for twenty minutes and a parent is not guessing.
When a bus is held up, the transport office notifies that route's guardians in one action rather than fielding forty phone calls.
Of everything a school communicates to parents, the location of the bus is the information most urgently wanted and least reliably supplied.
Msomi builds notifications on top of the route, stop and manifest data the transport module already holds. Because the system knows which learners are allocated to which stop on which route, it can tell exactly the right guardians exactly the right thing.
As the vehicle approaches a stop, the guardians of learners allocated to that stop are notified. When a learner boards, the driver or attendant confirms them against the manifest and their guardian receives confirmation. If a learner expected at that stop did not board, that is an exception the school sees immediately rather than at the register an hour later.
Departure and drop-off are confirmed the same way. When a bus is delayed — a breakdown, a road closure, weather — the transport office notifies everyone on that route in a single action, which is the difference between a managed incident and an afternoon of phone calls.
Alerts arrive as push notifications in the parent app, and fall back to SMS for guardians who do not use a smartphone. Every trip is retained, so a question about what happened on a particular morning is answered from a record.
A demo runs about forty minutes and uses your own class lists, frameworks and grading — so you are looking at your school rather than a sample database.
