The Problem

Schools are flying blind on transport

Most private schools in Kenya have GPS trackers on their buses. But a tracker only tells you where the bus is β€” not who is on it, who got off, or what actually happened on that journey.

πŸ“

Location without accountability

Standard GPS fleet software shows bus movement on a map. It has no concept of students, manifests, or who was on board during any given journey.

πŸ“‹

No record when things go wrong

If a parent reports their child did not arrive, or a journey is disputed, most schools have zero documented evidence of what happened on that bus that day.

πŸ“„

Compliance managed on paper β€” or not at all

PSV licenses, insurance, driving licenses, road licenses β€” all expiring at different times with no centralised system to track them or alert the right people before it is too late.

BusTrack solves this

Every journey. Every student. Every document. One platform.

BusTrack layers student accountability, driver and assistant management, compliance tracking, complaints workflow, and full reporting on top of live GPS β€” giving school administration a complete picture of their transport operations for the first time.

Platform Modules

Everything transport. One platform.

All modules are included in every subscription tier.

Parent Notification Module β€” School-Controlled, Optional

Schools can enable a parent notification module at their discretion. Parents are onboarded individually with a per-parent opt-in preference. The school administration controls all notification triggers and can pause or disable the module at any time. This module is not enabled by default.

How It Works

Three steps. Every journey.

No manual reports. No phone calls. No guesswork. The system captures everything automatically as the journey happens.

1

Assistant marks each student

At every stop, the bus assistant uses the mounted tablet to confirm each student as picked up or dropped off. A confirmation screen shows the student name and stop before logging β€” preventing accidental entries. Two seconds per student.

2

School admin sees everything live

The school dashboard updates in real time. Admin sees which buses are active, where they are on the map, which students are on board, and the full log of events as they happen β€” from any browser, any device.

3

Reports available immediately

Every event is permanently logged. Admin can download a detailed report for any bus, any route, any date range, or the full term at any time β€” formatted for management meetings, parent queries, or compliance reviews.

Works with existing GPS trackers β€” no hardware replacement required if devices are already installed on your buses

The system flags expired documents immediately and sends automated alerts 30 days and 7 days before any document is due for renewal β€” giving administration enough time to act before a bus is non-compliant on the road.

GPS Integration

Works with what you already have

BusTrack uses Traccar β€” the world's leading open-source GPS tracking platform β€” as its location integration layer. Supporting over 200 GPS device protocols, it is compatible with the vast majority of trackers currently installed on school buses in Kenya.

⚑

No hardware replacement

If your buses have trackers, we connect to them. Keep your existing hardware and add BusTrack on top.

πŸ”’

Your data stays yours

Location data flows from your tracker hardware directly into your BusTrack dashboard. No third-party tracking companies in the chain.

πŸ“Ά

Offline resilience

The bus assistant app works offline and syncs automatically. Low-connectivity areas do not cause data loss.

About Nexacode

Kenyan software. Built for Kenyan institutions.

Nexacode is a Kenyan software development company building technology solutions for institutions and businesses across East Africa. We build products that solve real operational problems β€” not generic software adapted from other markets.

BusTrack was designed from the ground up for the specific needs of Kenyan private schools. The compliance documents required by Kenyan law, the tracker brands commonly used here, and the dynamics between school administration, drivers, and parents all shaped how the product was built.

We are currently onboarding founding partner schools as part of our initial launch. Schools that partner with us at this stage receive preferential pricing, direct access to our team, and a genuine voice in shaping the product roadmap.

Built in Kenya for Kenya

The school is the customer and the operator. Every feature gives the school control, visibility, and accountability.
