A parent's WhatsApp: scanned aboard, a live link to the bus, dropped off
Private schools and school transport operators — each learner boards with a printed QR tag scanned even where there is no signal, the parent gets a WhatsApp tracking link with no app to install, and the office sees every bus.
A parent's WhatsApp: scanned aboard, a live link to the bus, dropped off
The Problem
A parent rings the school to ask whether the bus has left. The office rings the driver. Nobody can say for certain which learners got on, and when a child is collected at the gate there is nothing to show the parent who took them.
Each child carries a printed tag. The attendant scans it at pickup and drop-off with Route43, the O'Sense school-run app, and the scan works entirely offline.
The moment a pickup syncs, the parent's WhatsApp gets a live tracking link. No app to install, no account, no password.
Live runs mirror the attendant's phone: the map and the manifest, refreshing on their own. Who is waiting, who is on the bus, who has been dropped.
Private gate collections are recorded with a photo, and the parent receives that photo on WhatsApp the moment it syncs.
Xeel payroll works out PAYE, NAPSA and NHIMA for teachers, drivers and other staff, and sends payslips on WhatsApp.
Route economics show what each route costs against what you already charge.
The office works at app.osense.io, the attendant scans on the O'Sense app on Google Play, and parents need nothing but WhatsApp. Children, guardians, buses, routes and stops live in one register — how Route43 runs the school run.
Questions
Route43, part of O'Sense. Each child has a printed QR tag that the bus attendant scans at pickup and drop-off; the scan works with no signal at all. When it syncs, the parent's WhatsApp receives a message that the child boarded and a live link to the bus, and the office sees every bus mid-run on one screen.
No. The tracking link arrives on the parent's WhatsApp and opens on any phone, with no app to install, no account and no password. The page shows the bus position and nothing else.
Yes. The attendant scans on the O'Sense app from Google Play, and the scan works with zero network; boarding and drop-off are timestamped at every stop and sync when coverage returns. If a child has lost their tag, the attendant can board or drop them straight from the manifest.
Private gate collections are recorded with a photo, and the parent receives that photo on WhatsApp the moment it syncs. Every boarding, drop and collection sits in a timestamped record the office can answer a parent's query from.
Yes. Xeel, on the same login, runs payroll for teachers, drivers and other staff: each pay run works out PAYE, NAPSA and NHIMA per employee, and payslips go to staff as a PDF on WhatsApp.
