  • Fuel consumption, maintenance schedule, incident log.
  • Transport fees integrated with the main fee ledger.

Why transport safety matters

For boarding schools and long-route day schools, transport is a reputation multiplier. One missed drop and a parent spends an hour in panic. Inkwelly's pickup/drop notifications remove that anxiety — parents see their child boarded within seconds of it happening.

Frequently asked

Do we need special GPS hardware?

No — the driver app on any Android phone is sufficient. Hardware GPS devices (Teltonika, etc.) are optional for tamper resistance.

Can parents see the bus live?

Yes — bus location, ETA, and driver contact in the parent app. Plus WhatsApp notifications for every stage.

How do transport fees work?

Configurable per route / stop / distance slab. Linked with the main fee account so reminders and reconciliation work the same way.

What happens on rainy days or delays?

Drivers update trip status in the app; parents are notified automatically on delay. School admins can broadcast route changes to parents on WhatsApp.
