Cover every run.
Assign a driver and bus for each day. Arrange cover, review assignment conflicts or cancel a run with a reason. Print a run sheet for the road.

Every part connected.
A WORKSPACE FOR YOUR OPERATION
A clear plan.
Room for the unexpected.
Dedicated pages for administrators and dispatchers.
From the week ahead to a change this morning.
Know who’s available.
Keep driver profiles, weekly availability and planned hours together. Review time-off requests, approve leave and see where cover is needed.
See the week ahead.
View the plan by route, driver or bus. Check the day’s coverage, then move straight into dispatch to make an adjustment.
Keep up with school days.
Plan closures, early releases and late starts. School calendar changes flow into the routes serving them; company changes apply to your own operation.
Make space for a different day.
Review school trip requests and arrange one-off trips with their own date, bus, driver, stops and riders. Keep the details alongside regular routes.
Keep the fleet ready.
Manage vehicles, routes, stops and riders. Track inspection, licence and medical dates, out-of-service periods and replacement buses, with checks when assigning runs.
YOUR COMPANY. YOUR SCHOOL CONNECTIONS.
Many schools.
One transport operation.
Each team manages its part.
The journey brings them together.
Your team.
Your workspace.
Manage your depot, dispatchers, drivers, buses and routes in your company’s own workspace. Connect each school you serve using your operator link code.
Your team gets access to the contracted riders needed for routes. Each school keeps control of its wider roster and administration.
Talk about your operationYour calendar.
Your connections.
Connect a bus company from your school’s Buses page. Set school days that apply across the operators serving you, and send trip requests to your transport team.
Either side can end a connection. The school’s riders are then removed from that company’s routes. Running your own buses? Use the same transport tools for your fleet.

From the first stop
to the last handover.
Drivers, dispatchers and families.
A clearer picture for each of them.
- 01
Plan the day.
Set morning and afternoon routes, stops and riders. Assign the day’s bus and driver, with checks for leave, overlapping runs and overdue vehicle or driver records.
- 02
Keep the ride in view.
Drivers start the run in Vavr Staff and record riders boarding and getting off. Dispatchers follow live progress, stop estimates and exceptions from Live transport.
- 03
Finish with a handover.
Record the handover to an authorised adult, with a photo or signature where required. Look back at past runs, stop times and handover records when you need to.
LESS GUESSING. MORE KNOWING.
A shared journey.
A view for everyone.
Know when to
head to the stop.
Parents of riders who are waiting or on board can see the bus’s position and an estimated arrival time.
Estimates use the bus’s position when available, or how late the route is running against the plan.
More for parentsThe right details.
Ready for the road.
Vavr Staff brings assigned buses, route details and handovers to the phone. Drivers can see their own schedule and request time off.
Boarding and handover records queue offline and sync when the connection returns.
Help for transport teamsA JOURNEY, WITH BOUNDARIES
On the route.
Off the clock.
The driver’s phone shares location only while a run is in progress. Sharing stops when the run ends. Our maps use OpenStreetMap data we host ourselves, so no third-party map service sees where your buses or families are.
How we protect your schoolBEFORE THE FIRST RUN
A few details.
A clearer start.
Tell us about your company, fleet and schools.
We’ll walk through the setup together.
Can a company manage transport for several schools?
Yes. Your company manages its own fleet and team, with a separate connection to each school. Routes use contracted riders without opening up the school’s full roster.
Does shift management include payroll or clocking in?
Shift management covers assigning drivers and buses to runs, availability and time off. Hours shown are planned hours from the schedule; they are not payroll or clock-in records.
What happens when plans change?
Dispatchers can change a day’s driver or bus, arrange replacements and cancel runs with a reason. Service calendar changes feed into the route plan, staff bus lists and parent bus information.
