School Bus

A bus full of kids leaves the yard on the strength of a driver's memory unless the walkaround leaves a record.

State pupil transportation rules demand a daily pre-trip, but paper logs sit in a binder nobody reviews until after an incident. A tag on the bus makes the check verifiable the same morning.

How it works

Three steps from sticker to audit trail

No rollout project and no training day. The tag on the bus is the entire interface.

1

Tag every bus

Durable QR labels arrive pre-registered to your account. Nothing onthe sticker identifies you — the link between tag and company lives on the server.

2

First scan sets it up

Scanning an unclaimed code walks you through naming the bus, choosing a checklist and setting how often it needs checking.

3

Every scan after is the record

Anyone with a phone sees when it was last inspected and files the next one. Overdue buses surface before an inspector finds them.

On the checklist

What a bus check actually covers

Start from a checklist that already knows the job, then change anything you want. Every morning before the route, with a post-trip check after the last stop.

  • Stop-arm and flashing lights operational
  • Emergency exits and door release
  • Mirrors adjusted for driver sightlines
  • Wheelchair lift and securements
  • First aid and bloodborne pathogen kit present
  • Tires, brakes, and horn

Why it has to be provable

The people who will ask

State departments of education and pupil transportation offices set daily pre-trip inspection requirements that vary by state, and districts carry direct liability exposure if a documented check can't be produced after an incident.

Drivers already fill out a paper pre-trip sheet every morning.

A binder in the transportation office doesn't help when a parent or the state asks for proof on a specific date. Scanning the tag on the bus timestamps the check against that vehicle, keeps photos of anything flagged, and surfaces overdue buses on a dashboard before they leave the lot.

Why teams switch

Built for transportation directors and fleet supervisors; drivers performing the daily pre-trip

The spreadsheet was never the problem. Proving the check actually happened is.

Evidence, not assertions

Every inspection carries its timestamp, the person who filed it and the photos they took. A record that cannot be back-dated is worth more than one that can.

Overdue surfaces itself

Assets past their interval are flagged on the dashboard and emailed to whoever owns them, so a missed check is noticed by you and not by an inspector.
