Frequently asked questions
Straight answers for school administrators and parents. If yours isn’t here, get in touch.
What is TotoWatch?
TotoWatch is a school transport visibility and student journey management service for schools in Kenya. It helps schools, parents and transport teams stay connected around school transport.
How does TotoWatch support school transport?
Schools can manage their students, parents, buses, drivers and bus assistants, create trip manifests, and view vehicles on a map. Parents can see journey information their school makes available to them, and the platform supports journey notifications.
Who can use TotoWatch?
School administrators, parents and guardians, drivers and bus assistants each have their own access. Accounts are set up through the school’s deployment.
How can a school register or get started?
Request a demonstration. We then assess your requirements, agree the scope and terms, configure your school, and orient your team and parents before go-live.
How do parents access TotoWatch?
Parents receive their access details through their school, sign in using a web browser, and complete a first-login verification. If you haven’t received details, ask your school’s administrator.
Does TotoWatch support live vehicle tracking?
Yes. The platform includes a live vehicle map and journey playback where vehicles supply location data. The exact tracking arrangement depends on your school’s deployment, so please confirm it with us during a demonstration. Parents see their child’s bus only while their child is on board.
Will parents receive school transport notifications?
The platform supports in-app journey notifications, such as boarding, alighting and proximity events. Which notifications are enabled, and how they reach parents, depends on your school’s configuration. We’ll confirm this during your demonstration.
Does TotoWatch work on mobile phones?
TotoWatch is a web-based service that you open in a browser, including on a mobile phone. If you need a dedicated mobile app, ask us during a demonstration.
Can TotoWatch be used by schools with different transport arrangements?
Schools run transport in different ways, for example their own buses or contracted operators. We review your arrangements during requirements assessment so we can tell you honestly how TotoWatch would fit.
How is student information protected?
Access is role-based, so people see only the information relevant to their role. Sign-in uses first-login verification and sessions time out automatically. We do not claim any certification, and the website’s Privacy Policy explains how we handle information collected here. Ask us about data protection terms when discussing your deployment.
What happens if a parent cannot access the service?
Start with your school’s administrator, who manages parent accounts. If the school needs help, it can contact TotoWatch, and you can also reach us through the Contact page.
How much does TotoWatch cost?
Pricing depends on your school’s needs and the features in your deployment, so we don’t publish a price list. Request a quotation and we’ll respond with options.
How long does implementation take?
It depends on your school’s requirements and the scope we agree together. We’ll give you a realistic timeline after the requirements assessment.
How can a school request a demonstration?
Use the demo form on this website, or contact us by WhatsApp, telephone or email where those details are shown on the Contact page.
Does TotoWatch replace school transport safety procedures?
No. TotoWatch supports transport visibility and communication. It does not replace responsible supervision, your school’s transport procedures or emergency services.
Still have a question?
