With the vita Monitor school information app, designed for school administrators, report on and follow student transport live. It answers everything a school needs: which student travels on which shuttle, how long students keep vehicles waiting, what parents expect and complain about, and more.
The vita TMS student transport management system optimises operations and administration for your business, giving an advantage in time and cost at every step. It answers all your student transport needs in a single application.
With vita Drive TMS, your drivers and attendants get online job and location tracking through smartphone GPS — the only piece of equipment a driver needs on board, at minimal cost. Navigation, routes and pick-up and drop-off times, details of the students travelling and instant contact with parents all make their work easier.
You can see your child's shuttle details, journey status, planned pick-up and drop-off times, boarding and alighting addresses and travel duration. Information and credentials for the vehicle, driver, attendant or supervisor are all visible, and you can contact them from the app.
During service hours you can watch the vehicle move live on a map, see its speed and reach real-time traffic information through the congestion map. Location updates roughly every three seconds, so together with vitaDrive TMS it delivers the best mobile location tracking available.
The entire shuttle registration process can be completed online. You can view the service fee the system calculates by district or distance, sign your transport contract online and reach your invoices in the app.
The payment screen shows your payment plan and history, and lets you pay the operator in the app through several methods. You can see the balance outstanding or any refund due, and view the operator's bank details for a transfer.
You can tell your driver, attendant and operator contact through the app when your child will not be using the shuttle.
In the morning, once the driver has taken the register, reached the school and let the students off, they scan the NFC tag or QR code at the back of the vehicle with their phone to close the job. The daily tally is recorded and parents are told the vehicle arrived and was checked.
You can view every notification sent, going back in time, and personalise them. Among the seven daily alerts for approach, register and arrival, you choose which to receive by SMS, call or in-app message and adjust when they are sent.

Approach alert by text message
Approach alert by voice call

You can take part in the surveys your operator runs periodically, right in the app. Operator and school management use your answers to assess drivers, attendants, vehicles and the service overall, and to act on what they find.
Rate the driver and attendant who serve you, in the app. View their overall score and reviews. Your ratings are kept in complete confidence.
Send your suggestions and complaints about the service to the operator through the app. Both operator staff and school management can see your request, and its progress is tracked and reported. For questions about the app itself, 24/7 live support is available.
No hardware required — the system goes live within one working day.
Our tracking and notification system works without any additional hardware in the vehicle — no GPS unit, no tablet. It takes all its data from the vitaDrive TMS app running on the driver's or attendant's smartphone. With no fitting or physical installation, the system can be ready to use within one working day, and it keeps running smoothly through any change of vehicle or driver.
Any parent registered in the system of a school or operator using vita TMS can sign in with their mobile number. If the school or operator does not yet offer the service, you can request it from the school or the company.
Yes. In the vitaKids parent app you can view the shuttle details of several siblings and switch between them easily to follow each journey separately.
Parents receive seven different alerts across three channels: SMS, voice call and in-app message. In the vitaKids app you can easily choose which alerts and which channels you want, and switch off the rest. You can also set when approach alerts are sent, so you only get the information you need.
In the vitaKids parent app you can easily report that your child will not use the shuttle on a given day or date range, or that they are staying at school. The information reaches staff and the driver instantly.
The vitaKids tracking system starts a waiting-time counter automatically the moment the vehicle reaches the student's address. If the student does not board within the allowed time, the system records it. An automatic message stating how long the vehicle waited is sent to the parent and recorded in reports. This is an important part of a transparent school shuttle service.
Yes. vitaKids lets you follow the vehicle in real time. It shows the current position and traffic conditions live, so you can reach accurate information about the route, congestion and estimated arrival time.
Yes. You can view the fee schedule and your payment history in vitaKids. Paying by card requires the operator to have online card payment enabled. Where it is, you can pay easily and securely with a credit or debit card on the in-app payment page.
In the app you can view the legal documents of the driver and attendant concerned — criminal record check, driving licence, psychotechnical report and professional competence certificate — and easily check that safe school shuttle standards are being met.
The vitaKids parent app lets you contact the driver, attendant or responsible staff directly, so you get help the moment you need it and the service continues without interruption.
If you run into any problem with the app, use the Help menu inside it to reach us for technical support and guidance.
