This app is part of the service offered by NX2 IT Solutions for customers (schools, kindergartens, daycare centres) to track and share the location of their buses in real time with the parents of the children who use the buses. This service enables the customers to replace their legacy services where parents are notified via email about bus start times and delays.
Once the contract is made with NX2 IT Solutions,
- The customer can download the Koko Bus app into iPhones and register the device and download bus identification information from the cloud service.
- The iPhone is carried by the bus driver or accompanying teacher on the bus and using the start/stop buttons on the app can transmit the geo-coordinates of the current position based on the app configuration settings to a cloud database.
- The customer administrators and parents can view the position of the buses on real-time basis using dedicated web or mobile apps (Doko Bus).
Battery use disclaimer: This app uses GPS for tracking the current user location both in foreground and background mode and can be started or stopped using the Start/Stop buttons in the app.
"Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."
