“The app allows for parents or caregivers to book lifts for their child either on a regular basis to and from school and extra murals or for ad hoc lifts.”
Several schools across the country were hard hit by criminals in the last financial year, with thieves taking off with valuables and money from school premises. But this could be a thing of the past with the development of a school payment app.Apps that do away with the need for cash and arrange transport — with on-board cameras — at the touch of a smartphone screen will potentially make getting to school and being in the classroom a lot safer for pupils in SA.
Parents can download, create a login on their smartphone and start making payments to the school. The app notifies users about upcoming payments. The app is the brainchild of Tiffini Hein, MD of Cool Cabs, a scholar transport provider in Gauteng. “There is a very real need in this country to help busy parents balance it all. We have been providing our service for over 10 years, currently servicing over 205 schools daily, and we felt that it was time to develop the technology to make our safe scholar transport even more accessible,” said Hein.
