Frequently Asked Questions

Andama AI is a real-time school transport safety system that combines GPS tracking, AI-powered anomaly detection, and smart fleet management to protect students during transit. From route optimization to student check-ins and parent notifications, Andama makes school transport safer, smarter, and more accountable.

Andama is designed for schools, school transport operators, and parents. School administrators use the dashboard to manage fleets and students, while parents get peace of mind through the Andama Parent App with live bus tracking and alerts.

Each bus should be fitted with a compact GPS and telemetry unit. This includes sensors for location tracking, motion detection, and offline storage, installed professionally by our hardware partners.

Typically under 3 hours per bus. Our certified telematics hardware partners handles everything—from assessment to mounting, configuration, and testing.

Depending on your subscription plan, Andama includes: • Real-Time GPS Tracking • AI Anomaly Detection (e.g., route deviations, sudden stops) • Route Optimization • Fleet & Student Management • Parent Mobile App • Analytics Dashboard • 3rd Party API Integrations

The Parent App gives guardians live visibility into their child's journey—real-time bus location, pickup/drop-off alerts, and notifications on anomalies or delays.

Our system automatically flags unsafe or unusual events (like detours, speeding, or unscheduled stops), helping schools take immediate action.

Plans start at KES 3,000/month per bus. There's also a one-time mandatory hardware installation fee of KES 50,000 per bus. Higher plans unlock features like route optimization, AI anomaly detection, and analytics.
