Schooliy

School Bus Tracking, Automatic Route Planning and School Timetable Software

Schooliy (سكولي) is a school bus tracking and school transportation management software for schools, school chains and bus operators. Stop wasting hours planning bus routes: Schooliy assigns every student to a bus and builds optimised routes in seconds, tracks every school bus live on a GPS map, and keeps parents informed with a mobile app. Schooliy Academic allocates teachers, generates the school timetable and handles daily cover when a teacher is absent.

Built for private schools, international schools, school groups and student transport companies, in any country: each school sets its own country, phone format, time zone and school week. Fully bilingual: Arabic (RTL) and English.

Everything you need to run school transport: what you get

Automatic student-to-bus distribution and route optimisation

One click assigns all students to buses and orders the stops for the shortest, fairest bus routes. Nearest-neighbour and 2-opt optimisation, real road distances (OSRM), max route distance, max rounds per bus, sibling grouping, outlier detection and merging of small tours.

Live GPS school bus tracking

A real-time fleet map for administrators and live bus location for parents, with the current stop and estimated time of arrival (ETA) for every school bus.

Parent app: track my child's school bus

Parents see pickup and drop-off in real time and receive push notifications when the bus is 500 m away, when the child boards and when the child is dropped off. Available on Android and iOS.

Driver and escort (bus attendant) app

Daily tours, turn-by-turn navigation, student stop lists, stop-by-stop attendance and live GPS sharing with the school and parents.

SOS emergency alerts and student safety

One-tap SOS from the driver or escort sends a live location to the school administration, with full follow-up until the incident is closed.

Stop-by-stop student attendance

Every boarding, drop-off and absence is recorded digitally, building a complete daily audit trail of school bus attendance.

Absence management

Parents report absences in the app and the driver's route is updated instantly so the bus skips the stop.

Geofencing notifications

Automatic bus-approaching alerts when the school bus enters the area around the student's stop, so nobody waits in the street.

Gender-segregated tours and sibling grouping

Native support for mixed, boys-only or girls-only school buses according to school policy, with siblings kept on the same bus.

Fleet, bus, driver and escort management

Manage buses, capacities, drivers, escorts, home locations and depot policies (school depot, driver's home or escort's home) from one dashboard.

Reports and analytics

Attendance, completion rates, fleet utilisation and route performance across any date range, exportable for records.

Multi-school, multi-tenant SaaS

Transport companies and school chains run every school from one platform with complete data isolation per school, plus CSV/Excel student import.

Schooliy Academic: teacher allocation, school timetables and daily cover

Schooliy Academic adds timetabling to the same dashboard and mobile app. Assign teachers to every lesson, generate the weekly school timetable, and handle teacher absences each morning. Teachers and parents see the published timetable on their phones.

Teacher allocation that catches overloads

Every lesson gets a qualified teacher, and loads over a teacher's maximum show up before the timetable is built.

A timetable generator that explains what it could not place

No silent gaps: lessons left over come with the reason and a suggested fix.

Daily cover board

Mark a teacher absent, choose from ranked substitutes, and the substitute gets a push notification.

How automatic school bus route planning works

  1. Add student locations. Enter addresses or coordinates, paste Google Maps links, or import students from Excel or CSV.
  2. The engine builds optimal routes. Students are assigned to buses and stops are ordered for the shortest, fairest routes while respecting capacity, distance and gender rules.
  3. Review and go live. Adjust on the drag-and-drop map, assign driver and escort, and start the daily tours in minutes.

Questions about school bus tracking, route planning and school timetables

What is Schooliy?

Schooliy is school software in two parts. Transport plans bus routes, tracks every bus live and gives parents, drivers and escorts their own app. Academic allocates teachers, generates the timetable and handles daily cover. A school can use one or both.

How do parents follow the school bus?

Parents install the Schooliy app from the App Store or Google Play and sign in with the account the school gives them. They see the bus on a live map, get a notification when it is about 500 m away, and can report an absence.

How does automatic route planning work?

You add students' home locations. Schooliy assigns students to buses and orders the stops for the shortest, fairest routes on real road distances, grouping brothers and sisters and following the school's boys, girls or mixed rule. You can adjust any route before it goes live.

What does Schooliy Academic do?

It checks that every lesson has a qualified teacher without overloading anyone, generates the weekly timetable and explains anything it could not place, and publishes the result to teachers' and parents' phones. It also handles shorter days and class teachers for kindergarten and early grades.

What happens when a teacher is absent?

The coordinator records the absence, Schooliy ranks the teachers who are free for each lesson, and the cover teacher confirms in the app. Teachers, students and parents see the change on the day.

Is it in Arabic, and does it work in my country?

Yes. The dashboard and the apps are fully bilingual: Arabic right to left, and English. Schooliy works in any country: each school sets its own country, so phone numbers, the time zone and the school week follow it.

How much does it cost, and can we try it?

Transport is priced by the number of schools, buses and students; Academic is a fixed yearly fee per school. Book a free demo on WhatsApp: we walk you through Schooliy and send you a quote.
