alert parents instantly when a child misses the bus
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.
- Transport alerts: When a driver marks a child absent at their stop, parents now get an instant WhatsApp, SMS and push alert in English and Hindi — so families know at once if their child wasn't on the school bus. See transport tracking.
- Driver app: Redesigned the bus boarding screen with large, clearly labelled Boarded and Absent buttons plus a one-tap Undo for every child — built for non-technical drivers, with no hidden gestures.
- Parent app: A completed bus trip now always appears in the child's transport history, monthly calendar and today view — even when the driver forgot to mark attendance — shown as "Not recorded" instead of vanishing, and a missed mark no longer dents the attendance percentage.
- Fix: Corrected a date-handling issue that sometimes showed "No trip today" to parents even after the bus had finished its run.
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.
