PickApp-School predicts the order in which parents will arrive to pick their children at the end of school. With this information, PickApp-School guides the school's staff to coordinate the delivery of the students from their desks in the classroom to the designated exit, just as the parent arrives to picks them up. Parents will have control of who can pick their child or not, they will easily organize carpools, will be able to make last-minute changes and will almost have no line while picking their children from school. Schools will enjoy a simple, efficient and silent end-of-the-day exit process, will forget about the administrative and logistical nightmares of coordinating pick-ups, will reduce their risks and responsibilities and will never hear neighbors complain about noise and traffic again.
