show parents why the live bus tracking pauses
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.
- Live bus tracking: Parents watching the school bus on the live map now see the real reason it stops moving — "driver is offline", "weak GPS signal", or "driver's location is turned off" — instead of one vague grey dot. A small "updated 8s ago" freshness indicator shows exactly how current the bus position is, reassuring parents on patchy 2G/3G connections in Tier-2 and Tier-3 towns. See transport tracking.
- Driver app: The bus driver now gets a clear on-screen prompt the moment GPS weakens or location is switched off, so they can fix it themselves without anyone having to call.
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.
