With the rapidly growing population, the number of children and the number of schools is on the rise. As parents seek to enrol their children in prestigious schools for the best education, the very second action involves enrolling with a good transporter to take their child to school every day. With the increasing students, transporters face some challenges during its daily operations. Parents are sceptical in placing their trust in the transporter. Add to it, most parents are anxious every day in a bid to get to the stop on time & make sure their child doesn’t miss their school vehicle. Parents often end up calling multiple times each day to the passengers and a possibility of miscommunication between them arises. Since children are a sensitive part of every parent’s life, the transporter has to win their trust & maintain a reputation to sustain or increase their businesses. Let us see the challenges faced by transporters in detail and realise how Tracko School can help transporters overcome these challenges. 

 

Fleet management: - A transporter has to maintain multiple fleets of vehicles. The foremost challenge of any transporter is to manage & maintain multiple vehicles which is a tedious job. They also need to maintain records of vehicles as well as its drivers & ensure the vehicles are in good health and working efficiently. Maintenance issue arising due to irregular servicing of vehicles can lead to losses for a transporter. Tracko School maintains data of vehicle servicing as well as drivers documents and reminds well in advance for its renewal/update.  

 

Communication with parents: - Parents are anxious almost every day in a bid to make sure their child boards the school vehicle as well as alights from the vehicle on-time. To stay updated on the location of vehicle parents end up calling the transporter a number of times every day much to the frustration of the transporter. Tracko School provides live tracking of the vehicles on the cell phones of parents and they no longer need to call the transporter, saving the transporter from the daily unnecessary calls. The system sends notification of child’s pickup & drop and notifies parents in advance of the arrival of a vehicle at their respective stops. 

   

Communication with school authorities: - School authorities too are concerned for the vehicles timely entry & exit from the schools. Tracko School provides Live tracking of all the vehicles to the schools as well. At the same time school also get reports, notifications of all the trips, no. of students using the vehicles, student management, and many more reports. Schools can monitor a vehicle’s punctuality, unauthorised stops, and use the reports for billing purpose. 

 

Monitor behaviour: - Transporter face issues of student’s misbehaviour in the vehicle during the journey. The transporter can notify the schools immediately by the SOS button for any misbehaviour or to report any untoward incident. At the same time, Tracko School gives the analysis of driver’s behaviour which can be assessed regularly and students can be safeguarded form situations arising due to bad driving behaviour of the driver. 


Time issue: - Transport vehicles sometimes lose time while waiting for students at stops due to a miscommunication between parents & them. Tracko School creates transparency between parents and the transporter by providing live tracking and also notifying parents ahead of the vehicle’s arrival at their stop. Due to the transparency, delay of vehicles or children at the stop can be avoided and operations can be made smoother saving valuable time.    


Student records update: - Schools need to maintain the student’s attendance record. The transporter too needs to be updated on the same. An RFID tag can enable automatic attendance for students reducing transporter’s work of noting attendance. 


Avoid Miscommunication: - A vehicle transporter faces the challenge of communicating with parents as well as schools for daily operations /trips. Owing to the huge number of stakeholders involved, chances of miscommunications are thick causing confusion or mistrust among parents or school. Tracko School creates transparency in operations of the transporter and thus any room for miscommunication is avoided. 


Route Optimization: - A transporter needs to optimise their daily routes to save time, increase the fleet’s efficiency & overall profitability. Tracko School helps the transporter to pre-define an optimised route and help them control their operations effectively. 


Vehicle grouping & Multiple Access: - For better control over operations, Tracko School provides multiple access for a single system by grouping vehicles.

Reports: - Tracko School provides several important reports to the transporter like Engine ON/OFF report, stay report, Mileage Report, etc. giving controlled access over the operations and enabling the transporter to make efficient decisions.
