HICKORY, N.C. (PRWEB) August 18, 2015
School districts can now arrange transportation for school trips and athletic events more efficiently and accurately using the enhanced Travel Tracker (http://app-garden.com/travel-tracker-school-field-trip-software) automated field trip management solution, developed by Cook Consulting. The web-based solution allows teachers and administrators to better manage permissions and approvals, transportation, staffing, meals, and expenses.
Recent improvements to the Travel Tracker solution permit drivers to bid on scheduled trips, and it automatically accounts for drivers’ preferences and seniority. By eliminating the need to prepare driver assignments and schedules manually, the solution saves school administrators’ time, and avoids double booking of drivers or equipment.
Built by Cook Consulting, a company that specializes in automated solutions for K-12 school administrators, Travel Tracker has been deployed by more than 100 school districts throughout the U.S. These districts benefit from less paperwork, more useful school trips, and more productive use of teachers’ and administrators’ time.
Unlike manual processes that require teachers and school administrators to use paper forms, email and telephone calls to manage school trips, schools take advantage of Travel Tracker’s single trip proposal form, automated routing, tracking, and notifications, and rapid reporting features.
