one-tap bus start and live student boarding for drivers
New feature shipped to Inkwelly— India's most actively developed school management software. This change is in production at real Indian schools today, not on a roadmap.
- Driver app: A dedicated bus driver app with a simple Home, Routes, and Trips layout, built for non-technical drivers — big buttons, faces instead of forms, and full Hindi and English support.
- One-tap start: Drivers now start their morning pickup or afternoon drop in a single tap; the day's run is set up automatically, GPS turns on, and parents get a "bus has started" alert on WhatsApp and push.
- Live boarding: A guided, stop-by-stop boarding screen — tap a child's photo to mark them on the bus, mark a whole stop at once, watch live progress, and a safety check at the end so no child is ever left behind. Works even on patchy rural network and syncs when back online.
- Route map: Each route shows every stop on a map with the road path the bus takes, arrival times, and the list of children waiting at each stop.
This isn't a roadmap. It's already running in your competitor's school.
Every update on the Inkwelly changelog is in production at real Indian schools today. If you're tired of ERP vendors who promise features for “next quarter”, let's talk. We run a 90-day paid pilot with a pro-rata refund and full data export.
