School bus safety for Ghana

Know the moment your child boards the bus.

The daily journey

Every school day tells the same calm story.

Here is exactly what a parent sees, from the first stop to the school gate, with Gentyll.

6:00 AM · THE DEPARTURE
The route begins

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.

BUS 2 · DEPARTED
6:20 AM · THE APPROACH
Five minutes to the stop

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.

ARRIVING IN 5 MIN
6:22 AM · THE BOARDING
Boarded on, safely aboard

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.

AMA · BOARDED
7:15 AM · THE ARRIVAL
Safe at school

The bus enters the gate, the empty bus check runs, and every parent gets the final message: arrived, all children boarded safely.

18 OF 18 · BOARDED

The afternoon works the same way in reverse, so the journey home is never a mystery either.

The full service

Everything Gentyll does for your school.

Built for Ghanaian roads, Ghanaian networks and Ghanaian phones.

Live bus tracking

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.

Boarding confirmation

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.

Alerts that always arrive

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.

School dashboard

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.

Call the driver

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.

All your children, one account

Two or three children on the bus? One account holds them all, each child with their own card, profile and alerts.

How we track your child

No tracker on your child. Ever.

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.

Nothing to wear Nothing to charge Costs a few cedis One second to board
Guardian pickup codes

Every pickup, verified too.

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.

Generated in seconds on WhatsApp One code, one pickup, then it expires A trusted pickup list you control

Pricing built around your school

One price for your whole school. No figures published, because every school is different.

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.

Questions parents ask us

Straight answers.

Does my child wear a tracker?+

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.

What happens where there is no network?+

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.

What if the driver's phone dies?+

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.

Do parents need smartphones?+

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.

I have more than one child on the bus. Do I need two accounts?+

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.

What happens in an emergency?+

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.

Is our family's information safe?+

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.

Give your parents peace of mind this term.
