“As a substitute driver who drives a different route daily SMART tag has been a God send. I have all the information needed to get students safely to and from school. There is so much information available at my fingertips which frees up dispatch as drivers do not need to call in for the information.”

Leslie M. Substitute Driver, Georgetown ISD, Texas

★★★★★

“I originally contacted SMART tag because we were looking to do electronic seating charts during COVID-19. I was surprised at how complex the SMART tag system is, and in the end I appreciate all of the fine details the system provides. Our drivers enjoy the apps the tablets offer and we appreciate moving from an old-school paper and multiple, excel spreadsheet system to a high-tech, all-in-one electronic system.”
