Driveline Dispatch: Is a utility application to support the Schoolhouse Driveline Software Suite written for schools requiring a better way to handle student dismissal. Driveline Dispatch is the application used by the schools staff to enter family ID's of the arriving vehicles into the driveline system. **************************************************** How it works: Vehicles hang placards in their window with numbers indicating the families they are picking up; we call this number the Family ID. The staff member enters the family ID's into an iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad using this application. Within an instant, the child's names associated with that family ID are displayed on a computer screen or projector in the classroom indicating where the child should go to find their awaiting vehicle.
