The core case — connecting school, bus and parent
Schools
An end-to-end bus tracking and transportation management solution for schools, connecting the transportation operation directly with authorised parents.
A school’s transportation risk concentrates in the youngest students and the busiest twenty minutes of the day. The transportation team needs to know where every bus is, and parents need to know where their child is, and neither can be achieved by telephoning drivers.
Igloobuzz connects schools, parents, students and school transportation on one platform. Advanced 4G GPS tracking gives the school live bus location, route monitoring, geofencing and speed alerts. RFID student tracking adds the student-level record — student identification, bus identification, boarding, journey, drop-off. The parent mobile application delivers the relevant part of that to families.
What appears to parents is configured according to the school’s requirements and policies, which matters: schools differ considerably on what they want visible to families and when, and the application matches the institution’s transportation policy rather than overriding it.

Pricing is quoted against a route survey rather than a list price, so a thirty-minute call gets you a real number.
