Automated push notifications and optional SMS keep parents, employees, and drivers informed — without manual phone calls or message chains.
A vehicle breaks down at 7 AM. Someone needs to call 35 families to tell them the bus is late. By the time the last call is made, the replacement vehicle has already arrived — but 10 parents drove their kids to school because they didn't get the update in time.
RouteBot sends push notifications automatically based on configurable triggers — vehicle approaching pickup point, passenger boarding, schedule change, route cancellation. Push notifications are free and unlimited. SMS is available as an optional channel for critical alerts.
Parents and employees receive a push notification when their vehicle is approaching the pickup point — so they can be ready at the door instead of waiting outside.
When a passenger boards (via driver check-in or QR scan), a notification is sent confirming they're safely on the vehicle.
When a route time changes, a vehicle is substituted, or a route is cancelled — all affected passengers are notified automatically.
For organizations that need SMS as a fallback channel, RouteBot supports bulk SMS with per-message tracking and delivery reports.
Open the demo and go to Settings. You'll see the notification configuration options where you can set up triggers, choose channels (push vs. SMS), and preview how alerts appear to parents and drivers.
