Know where the school bus is, and who is on it.
Otrac fits a live tracker on each bus, with alerts at every pick-up and drop-off and an optional card tap for each child. The office sees the run happen in real time, so a worried parent gets an answer before they finish dialling.
- Live bus location
- Pick-up & drop-off alerts
- Route & speed control
- Driver accountability
- Parent updates
A duty of care you can actually see.
The service puts a live GPS unit on every bus, ties it to your pick-up points and gate, and gives the school office one screen that shows each run as it happens.
A school carries the heaviest kind of responsibility twice a day. When a bus is late, the calls start, and the office is left guessing at where it might be. With Otrac, the person at the front desk opens the map, sees the bus crawling behind a fuel queue on the expressway, and tells the parent exactly that. No guessing, no covering, no scramble.
Three things set a fitted Otrac bus apart from a phone in the driver's pocket.
The office holds the truth
Location comes off the bus, not the driver's word. Even if his phone dies or he takes a shortcut he shouldn't, the map still shows where the bus really is.
Alerts, not phone calls
The system fires a message when the bus reaches a stop or the gate. The office stops chasing updates and starts getting them.
Every child accounted for
Add the RFID card tap and the school knows which child boarded and which one got off, so a sleeping child at the back never gets missed.
From WhatsApp message to a live map by the next run.
Tell us your fleet
Send how many buses you run and your city on WhatsApp. We tell you what fits, whether you want the card check-in, and the price per bus.
We fit at your yard
A fitter comes to where the buses park and wires each unit in, hidden and clean. The buses stay on the road for their normal runs.
We map your stops
We mark every pick-up point and the school gate as a zone, so the right alerts fire at the right places on your actual routes.
The office goes live
Your front desk logs in, watches each run on the map, and reads the alerts as they land. Parents get the answer straight from a screen.
Everything a school run needs, on one platform.
One fitting, and a system your office can run without a single tech person on staff.
Live bus location
Watch each bus move on the map in real time, so you always know where a run has reached.
Pick-up and drop-off alerts
A message fires the moment the bus reaches a stop or the gate, so the office is never the last to know.
Route and speed control
Set the route each bus should follow and a speed cap, and get flagged the moment either one is broken.
Driver accountability
Speeding, harsh braking and long idling all show up on the report, so a rough driver is dealt with early.
Optional RFID check-in
A card tap logs which child boarded and which got off, so nobody is left behind and nobody is marked wrongly.
NCC-registered SIM
Each unit reports over a registered SIM that stays live, on the same platform we use for every Otrac tracker.
Built for the people answering to parents.
Schools
Private and international schools that promise safe transport and need to prove it, not just say it, when a parent asks.
Transport operators
Contractors who run the buses for one or several schools and want a clean record of every run they are paid for.
Parents' associations
PTA groups pushing the school to add tracking, who want a system that gives them updates they can trust.
Priced per bus, quoted for your fleet.
Every school runs a different number of buses on different routes, so we quote once we know your fleet. Tracking is a running service that keeps the live map, the alerts and the reports working, not a one-off gadget.
Tell us how many buses you run and whether you want the RFID card check-in, and we send back a per-bus figure with the first year and the yearly renewal spelt out. No hidden line items.
The renewal keeps your registered SIM live and your office access working for another twelve months, the same way our car and fleet plans run.

The buses are one part of the fleet you run.
Most schools that track their buses also want the same eyes on their staff cars and their day-to-day vehicles. Otrac runs all of it on one platform, so your office has a single screen for everything that moves.
Fleet management
Every school vehicle on one dashboard, with trips, mileage and driver reports in one place.
Video telematics
Cameras that pair with the tracker, so a bump on the run comes with footage, not just a dot on a map.
In-vehicle monitoring
Speed, idling and driver behaviour tracked in detail, so every bus and staff car is held to the same standard.
