School transport, made visible

Every parent knows where the bus is. So does your school.

VigiTrack shows parents their child's school bus live on their phone, tells them when it will reach their stop, and gives your office one calm screen for the whole fleet. No more 7:40 a.m. phone calls asking “where is the bus?”

  • Running daily on school buses in the Mumbai region
  • Built in India for Indian schools
  • No parent ever sees another family's child

The problem every principal knows

The bus is late. Your phone is ringing.

A school bus running fifteen minutes late is not unusual. Traffic, a road closure, a child who wasn't ready. What turns an ordinary delay into a bad morning is that nobody knows what's happening.

The parent at the stop doesn't know whether to wait or drive. The class teacher doesn't know why half the class is missing. The transport desk is calling the driver, who shouldn't be on the phone while driving. And the principal hears about it from the parents first.

Parents don't expect a bus never to be late. They expect to know. When they can see the bus, a delay is just information. When they can't, it becomes a complaint, and over a term those complaints turn into a reputation.

VigiTrack gives everyone the same answer at the same moment: where the bus is, how far along its route it has come, and when it will reach the stop.

A school morning with VigiTrack

The day's surprises don't stop happening. They stop being surprises.

One morning, seen from the office screen, a parent's phone and the principal's inbox.

  • 6:15 a.m. The bus leaves the depot. On the office screen it moves from “Not started” to “On time”.
  • 6:24 a.m. A mother in Building C checks her phone over breakfast. Bus 12 is three stops away, arriving between 6:31 and 6:35. She finishes her tea.
  • 6:33 a.m. Her son boards. No waiting at the roadside, no phone calls.
  • 6:50 a.m. A road is dug up near the highway and Bus 7 slows down. The transport desk sees it marked late on the Fleet Wall before any parent notices. Parents further along the route see their arrival times move on their own phones.
  • 7:40 a.m. Every bus has reached school. The principal hasn't taken a single call about transport.
  • 10:00 p.m. The principal's evening email confirms the day: every bus was on the road, how far each one travelled, and four new parents are waiting for their class teachers to confirm them.

For parents

Peace of mind, on the phone they already carry

See the bus, live

Parents open VigiTrack and see their child's bus moving on the map, with the street it's on and how many stops it has completed.

Know when to step out

Every estimate comes with an honest range, for example “06:29, between 06:28 and 06:32”. VigiTrack also says when the stop is next, so parents leave home at the right time instead of waiting at the roadside.

One sign-in for every child

Brothers and sisters on different buses or different shifts appear together. Parents switch between children with a tap.

Confirm the right stop

Parents can tell the school which stop their child actually uses, so the route the office plans matches the road the child walks to.

No app store needed

VigiTrack opens in the phone's browser and can be added to the home screen like any app. Nothing to download, nothing to update, and it works on the inexpensive Android phones many families rely on.

For the school office

One screen for the whole fleet

Illustration of the Live Fleet Wall with sample data.

Your transport in-charge doesn't need to phone drivers to find out what's happening. The Live Fleet Wall shows every bus at a glance: on time, running late, early, not yet started, finished, or not reporting. A late bus stands out before the first parent calls.

Live map and journey history

Follow any bus live, or play back where a bus went on any day. When a parent says “the bus never came”, the answer takes seconds, and it's based on a record, not on memory.

Rosters that match real life

Plan which bus, driver and attendant runs each route, shift by shift, across the school calendar. If a driver changes for the day, the office records it in two taps and the route follows the driver.

Your student list, your way

Upload the class lists you already keep in Excel. VigiTrack reads your columns as they are and tells you plainly about anything it couldn't read. Corrections are made in bulk, not one child at a time.

Parent registration without a queue

Parents register themselves with a link or a QR poster. The class teacher confirms them from the class list. Nobody gets access to a child until the school has said yes.

Distance for every bus

Kilometres per bus by day, week or month, ready for your diesel and maintenance planning.

Built for groups of schools

Several campuses, several boards, several shifts. Each principal runs their own campus. The group sees across all of them.

For the principal and trustees

Know every evening that tomorrow is in hand

A daily status email

Every evening the principal receives a short email with each bus's day: whether it was on the road, how far it travelled, and any bus that wasn't heard from. A second note says how many parents are still waiting to be confirmed. You don't need to log in to know.

See whether parents actually use it

Know how many families are using VigiTrack and how often. That gives you a real measure of value for your trustees, not a vendor's promise.

On the bus

Eyes inside the bus when it matters

On buses fitted with cameras, authorised staff can view inside the bus live from the monitoring screen and look back through recordings kept on the bus. If something happens on board, the school can see it, not just hear about it.

Camera access follows the same rule as everything else in VigiTrack: only the people your school authorises can use it.

Privacy and trust

Built to protect children's data, not just track buses

A school bus app holds some of the most sensitive information a family has: where their children are and when. We designed VigiTrack around that.

  • The school decides what each parent can see. A parent is shown their child's bus, never another family's child, and every view is recorded.
  • The school decides who gets access. No parent is linked to a child until the school has confirmed them.
  • Consent is recorded. Parents agree to a clear privacy notice before they see anything, designed around India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
  • Faces are removed from stop photographs before any parent can see them.
  • Staff sign in securely, with optional two-step verification.
  • Support works with your permission. When our team needs to work inside your school's account, your office gives a one-time PIN, and every change made is recorded.
  • Each school's data is kept separate from every other school's.
Why schools choose VigiTrack

Designed around the school day

Made for schools

VigiTrack was designed around the school day: shifts, boards, class lists, parents, teachers, and the way a principal is held accountable.

Honest with parents

We show a range instead of a falsely precise time, and we say how recent the position is. Parents trust a system that admits uncertainty. They stop trusting one that gets caught out.

Your data, as you wrote it

We never quietly “correct” your school's records. If something in your sheet looks wrong, we show it to you so your office can fix it where it started.

A team that answers

You deal directly with the people who build VigiTrack, in India, in your time zone. When a principal calls, the person who answers can actually fix the problem.

It keeps getting better

Schools using VigiTrack shape what we build next. Several of today's features began as a request from a transport desk.

How we get you started

Five steps from first call to first run

  1. A 20-minute demo. We show you the parent app and the office screens with sample data, and answer your questions.
  2. We set up your school. Your campuses, routes, stops and student lists, taken from the spreadsheets you already have.
  3. We fit and connect your buses. Our team handles the vehicles, working with your operator where the buses are contracted. Your staff don't need to touch any hardware.
  4. Parents register. You get posters and a link for each campus. Teachers confirm parents from their class lists.
  5. Go live, with us beside you. We watch the first runs with your transport desk and stay on call.

You don't need an IT department. If your office can send a WhatsApp message and open an Excel sheet, it can run VigiTrack.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. VigiTrack opens in the phone's browser and can be added to the home screen in one tap. It works on Android and iPhone.
No. A parent sees only their own children, and only after the school has confirmed them. The school decides which buses parents can follow, and every view is recorded.
No. Many schools run contracted buses. We work with the school and the operator to fit and connect each vehicle.
VigiTrack fills in the journey when the bus reconnects and always tells parents how recent the position is, so nobody mistakes an old position for a live one.
Every estimate is shown with a range, and the range is wider when the bus's progress is less certain. We would rather tell a parent "between 7:10 and 7:18" honestly than promise 7:12 and be wrong.
Your school does. We process it on your behalf to run the service. Student records stay as your school wrote them, and we never sell or share data with advertisers.
Yes. You can start with one campus or a few routes and expand once parents and staff are comfortable.
Pricing depends on the number of buses and campuses. We'll go through it with you during the demo.

See VigiTrack with your own routes in mind

In 20 minutes we'll show you exactly what your parents and your transport desk would see, and answer your trustees' questions.

We'll contact you within one working day. No obligation.
