There was a time when the only safest way for the kids was walking to the school as there was a fear among the parents to send their children on public transport. Children only used to attend the nearby schools so that they could walk to the school and the parents feel much safer too. As the cities grow larger, the schools and institutes are located far away; they offer school bus facilities for the pick-up and drop off.

Offering their child a better security and safety while commuting is the biggest concern for the parents. It is the top most priority of the schools and Transportation Management System streamlines the process.
 

What is a Transport Management System?

Transportation management system helps the schools to seamlessly manage the entire bus fleet. Whether it is scheduling a driver, pick-up the kid, route change or changes in the timing it automates all the tasks related.

The School ERP Management solutions not only streamline the process of transportation, but smoothens all the administrative tasks. This integrated end-to-end management system helps to manage all the transportation-related information such as Vehicle number, allocated driver, the route, and more. There is an in-built payment gateway as well that allows easy payment mode for the parents. There is a payment history you can check who all have made the payment and the pending dues as well.
 

Benefits of a Transport Management System


1. Allow schools to plan driver schedules

With the transportation management system, the schools can maintain the records of the driver, their schedules. It offers transparency to the parents about the driver and keeps them informed about their child. Schools get to know about the schedule of drivers and can make changes. If a driver is not available, they can find out other drivers available during that time slot.

2. Modify bus routes with Greater ease

The transportation management system allows the schools to schedule and efficiently modify the route. Bus routes can often change depending on the demand. It allows the school admin to delete, assign new routes, and modify the route of students and teachers.

With a new school year, new students get added to the school, and they may need bus services as well. This may often lead to a change in the current bus routes made easier with the Transportation Management ERP solutions.

3. Easy Payroll and Fee Management 

An integrated payment system in transport management makes it easier for the parents to pay the fee, collect receipts, and check history about the previous payment, and more. The schools are also updated regarding managing the salaries of the bus driver, conductors, pending dues of students, and more.

4. Regular Alerts Sent to Parents 

The transportation system allows the parents to stay updated about their child’s commute every morning. They are also updated on the regular basis about the delays, pickup/drop to the exact location at any moment.
