Student Portal
The CustomLinc Schools Portal has been developed with the parent and student in mind, delivering an ease-of-use online system for bus runs and payments.
The portal gives a safe and secure online environment for bookings, live maps, and a full student trip history.
- Student member cards.
- Account login management.
- Single or term bookings.
- Trip and transaction history.
- Custom branding.
- Parents can log onto the portal to see the stops on their child's run and the current location of the bus (updated from the device every 30 seconds).
- All students in a family are linked together in the same portal.
Drivers Tablet App
- Each driver collects a Galaxy Tab 10 with GPS and RFID Readers as they go out on each run.
- The Driver starts the app and logs on. They must select the coach they are driving and the route they are on.
- The manifest will then be downloaded with the pickup and drop-off location for each student.
- Unmanifested students can tap on creating a booking and casual user charge.
- Manifested students can board a coach that is different to the coach they are manifested on (going home with a friend).
- Manually download the latest manifest for last minute additions.
Hardware Required
All hardware required for the installation and operation of the system is commercially available off the shelf.
- Galaxy Tab 10
