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.
