With Routefinder GO, your critical information in Routefinder Pro is portable and accessible any place and any time. Access data on students, vehicles, schools, staff, trips, stops, field trips, geo regions, and alternate sites while on the move, allowing you to take action when needed. No longer tethered to your office, you’re free to be in the field at any time and are still able to respond to emails, phone calls, and incidents with the latest and most critical information. Visualize and Share Data Easy-to-navigate maps with satellite layering let you visualize data on students, schools, vehicles, trips, and stops. Quickly and efficiently share that data with the right people with built-in email and report tools. Draw custom areas on the map with the Geofinder tool and immediately see all the information associated with that particular area. Share this with others in the district in an email or through a report. Identify and display on a map all the vehicles, students, stops, and trips affected by specific regions, such as hazardous areas, local construction, and predator zones, using the geo regions set up in Routefinder Pro. Access Reports in Real Time Reports stored in your routing system are available in real-time. You no longer need to return to your office and log into your system to access a particular report; now you can do this on the spot, saving much needed time and energy. Take Attendance From the Bus Routefinder GO’s Attendance tool lets bus drivers and aides take attendance right from the app. With the power to see all their stops and students in one easy interface (and the ability to add more within the app to accommodate last minute route and student changes), your staff members can capture information and send it in real time to Routefinder Pro and our other products, including Viewfinder, giving you an accurate, up-to-the-minute picture of your operation. Document Events As They Happen Whether responding to a bus accident or an incident on a bus or at a stop, you have the tools needed to manage and document the event in the palm of your hand. Take photos or video right at the site, email it to local emergency management authorities, and attach it to the relevant vehicle, driver, and student files. You can then notify designated district personnel, parents, or guardians. Empower the Entire District With data at your fingertips, you can share compelling information at board meetings, helping the board understand your day to day operation better and enabling them to make well informed decisions. You can also allow administrators in the district to access information or reports on their own whenever they need them, saving you time and effort. Routefinder GO is compatible with any mobile device that supports a browser.
