Busology Tech, a K–12 transportation software provider, offers a unified transportation management platform developed to help school districts across North America transition from fragmented systems to a single, streamlined solution.

In 2023, Busology Tech launched from the former school business within TripSpark as a dedicated brand focused solely on K-12 school transportation technology.

The platform addresses common issues such as disconnected routing and GPS tools, safety blind spots, and overwhelmed communication lines. By combining routing, tracking, ridership, and parent communication into a single solution, Busology Tech aims to help districts improve operational efficiency, student safety, and family engagement.

"The Viafy solution by Busology Tech stood out to us because of its parent app," said Warco Transportation's operations manager. "One big thing about the parent app was visibility; parents can now see the bus in real-time."

The platform includes:

  • Parent App: Enables real-time ETAs, check-on/check-off alerts, and delay notifications, reducing parent calls and improving transparency.

  • GPS Tracking and Emergency Alerts: Offers live visibility of bus locations and in-app emergency reporting, helping dispatchers respond more effectively.

  • System Integration: Syncs data across student rosters, route changes, and special accommodations, particularly supporting complex district needs like Austin ISD.

  • Scalable Design: Adapts to districts of all sizes, with smooth deployment across campuses, departments, and fleets without major operational disruption.

Early Results and What's Next

According to a company release, districts like Thomas County Schools in Georgia have already reported measurable improvements, including a 90% reduction in parent phone calls to transportation offices.

"Getting everything signed and ready to go, it took us right up to two weeks until school started," the transportation director from Red Clay Consolidated School District in Delaware said. "Right away, I could tell this team, they flew in, it was not their first rodeo. They got everything installed. I didn't have to do anything. It was a normal workday for me."

Busology Tech plans to expand the platform's rollout across additional districts in North America. It is currently developing new features, including enhanced fleet maintenance tracking, driver timesheet reporting, and field trip scheduling.
