Gentyll shows parents the school bus live on a map and sends a message the second their child gets on and off. Schools get one simple dashboard for every bus and every rider.
Here is exactly what a parent sees, from the first stop to the school gate, with Gentyll.
The driver taps Start Route. Every parent on that route gets a message that the bus is on its way, and the morning quietly begins.
The app senses the bus is close. Waiting parents get a heads up, so nobody stands by the roadside a moment longer than they need to.
Ama shows her card. The attendant scans it in one second and her mother gets the boarded alert right away, with the time and the stop.
The bus enters the gate, the empty bus check runs, and every parent gets the final message: arrived, all children boarded safely.
The afternoon works the same way in reverse, so the journey home is never a mystery either.
Built for Ghanaian roads, Ghanaian networks and Ghanaian phones.
Every bus appears live on a map for parents and for the school office. If a bus ever leaves its agreed route, the school is alerted at once.
Each child carries a simple ID card with a QR code. Boarded on, boarded off, and the parent knows. If a child taps the wrong bus, the screen flags it before the bus moves.
App messages for smartphones and SMS for everyone else. No smartphone at all? Dial a short code and the bus status comes back as a text.
Every bus, every rider and every boarding record on one screen in a normal browser. Each trip is closed out with an empty bus check, so no child is ever left on board.
One tap in the parent app rings the driver or the bus attendant. No hunting for numbers when you just need to ask one question.
Two or three children on the bus? One account holds them all, each child with their own card, profile and alerts.
Some parents ask if we put a chip or a GPS device on children. We never do. Your child simply carries a laminated ID card with a QR code, the same size as a bank card.
The driver or bus attendant taps it as your child steps on and off the bus. This records who, when and where, and your phone gets the message in seconds. If the card gets lost, a replacement costs a few cedis and the old one stops working immediately.
Boarding is only half the day. Collection matters just as much, especially when it is not always the same parent at the gate. Gentyll lets you generate a one time safe code on WhatsApp for a driver, an aunty or an uncle, so your child is only ever released to someone you named.
Anyone without a valid code is turned away and the school is alerted at once. No app download needed for the person collecting, just the code you sent them.
We set everything up with you: routes, riders, cards and a one hour training for your drivers and attendants. Parents stop calling the office to ask where the bus is, and your school gets a written record of every single trip.
If your child rides a school bus, you deserve to see it. Tell the head teacher about Gentyll, or invite us to your next PTA meeting and we will demo it live, with a real vehicle moving on the map.
The cost depends on your number of buses and riders, and it is always less than one exercise book a month per child. Every new school starts with one full term completely free, no commitment, no risk, cancel any time.
No, never. Your child only carries a laminated ID card with a QR code, like a small bank card. The card is tapped when your child boards and gets off the bus. There is no chip, no device and nothing to charge.
The app keeps working. It saves every boarding tap and every location on the phone, then sends everything the moment the signal returns. Important alerts also go out by SMS, which reaches places data cannot.
Every bus carries a charged backup phone that is already logged in. Schools that upgrade later get a GPS box wired into the bus itself, with its own SIM, so it keeps reporting no matter what happens to any phone.
No. Any phone that can receive an SMS gets the boarding and arrival alerts. Parents with smartphones get the app as well, with the live map on top.
No. One account holds all your children. Each child gets their own card, profile and trip record, and you switch between them with one tap. You receive separate boarding alerts for each child, and everything stays in one simple place.
Every driver and attendant has an SOS button in the app. One press sends the exact location of the bus to the school office right away, so help goes to the right place without wasting a minute. The school can also see which other buses are close by.
We treat children's information as the most sensitive data there is. We register our data handling with the Data Protection Commission of Ghana, we collect written consent from every parent before a single child is added, and the records belong to your school, not to advertisers.
