The Problem

School transport is
a coordination nightmare.

💬

Parents call individual drivers

Phone tag, no visibility, no confirmation of booking.

💵

Cash payments with no records

Disputes, missing receipts, and untraceable funds.

📋

Manual spreadsheet allocation

Errors, double-bookings, and zero audit trail.

😰

Parents wait with no updates

"Has my child arrived?" — nobody has a real answer.

The STCS Solution

One platform.
Every role. Full control.

Structured transport events

Schools publish events with fixed deadlines. Parents request, pay, and track from their phones.

M-Pesa payments

Funds held securely until trip completion — then auto-released to transporters.

Automated allocation engine

School admin sees demand by route and assigns transporters in one tap.

Live trip tracking & confirmations

Parents receive notifications at every step from departure to verified arrival.

Everything you need

Powerful features for every stakeholder

Built around school authority, transporter efficiency, and parent peace of mind.
