Déanta in Éirinn · Built in Ireland

The school run,
accounted for.

Slí Abhaile is school transport management for Irish operators. Routes, digital bus passes and QR boarding in one place — so you know exactly who got on, and every parent knows their child is on the way home.

Gan táillí folaithe · No hidden fees

One flat monthly fee. That is the entire bill.

We do not take a cut of your fares. We do not charge per pass, per scan, per parent or per seat. Your bill is the same in September as it is in May, and it does not grow because you had a good year.

  • No platform fees
  • No transaction or card fees
  • No per-ticket or per-scan charges
  • No charge per driver or staff login

An t-ardán · The platform

Three portals. One source of truth.

Operators, parents and drivers each get the view they need — reading from the same live data, so nobody is working off last term’s printout.

For operators

Run the whole fleet from one desk

Build routes and stops, assign pupils to seats, issue and void passes, and manage the waiting list when a route fills up. Every change is live on the driver’s phone before the next run.

  • Route & stop builder
  • Seat capacity and waiting lists
  • Pass issuing and instant void

For parents

The pass lives on the phone

Parents get a QR bus pass for each child, their route and stop times, and notifications when something changes. No lanyards to replace, no paper permits lost in a schoolbag.

  • QR pass per child
  • Route & stop timings
  • Cancellation notices

For drivers

Scan, and the register writes itself

The driver opens a session, scans each pupil aboard with the phone camera, and closes it at the school gate. You get a timestamped record of who travelled, on which run, on which day.

  • Camera or manual entry
  • Live session roll
  • Timestamped boarding log

Digital passes

Issued, reissued or voided in seconds.

Route builder

Stops, times and seat capacity per run.

Notifications

Reach every parent on a route at once.

Waiting lists

Fill a freed seat without the phone calls.

Conas a oibríonn sé · How it works

Live before the next term starts.

  1. 01

    We load your routes

    Send us your existing route sheets and pupil lists in whatever shape they are in — spreadsheet, PDF, or a printout. Onboarding covers the data entry and the checking.

  2. 02

    Parents get their passes

    Every family is invited by email and collects a QR pass per child. Nothing to install — it opens in the phone browser and can be saved to the home screen.

  3. 03

    Drivers scan from day one

    Drivers sign in on any modern phone and start scanning. Training takes about ten minutes, because there is only one screen that matters.

Praghsáil · Pricing

Priced on pupils. Nothing else.

Included in every plan

No platform fees · No transaction fees · Cancel with 30 days’ notice

  • Unlimited routes and stops
  • Unlimited drivers and staff logins
  • Unlimited QR passes and scans
  • Parent notifications
  • Waiting list management
  • Your own branding on the parent portal
  • Boarding records and exports
  • Email support from Ireland

All prices exclude VAT. An active pupil is one holding a valid pass in the current billing month — pupils who leave a route stop counting the month after. Move up or down a band at any time as your numbers change.

Children’s data, handled properly

Encrypted in transit and at rest, with each operator’s data isolated and role-based access so a driver only ever sees the pupils on their own run.

GDPR from the ground up

Retention limits enforced by a nightly job, access to pupil records logged, and one-click export or erasure for every parent.

Irish-owned, Irish-supported

Built here for the way Irish school transport actually runs. When you ring, you reach someone in the same timezone.
