What Users Love About the App

“Travel tracker has been asset for me. It has made the field trip process more efficient. The online format prevents paperwork from getting lost or forgotten. I love that all necessary people are notified when a request is submitted and I do not have to do a separate request for buses or funding approval.”

“Our experience with the software has been beneficial to the scheduling of our activity buses. The accuracy and efficiency by-which the scheduler has been used has help tremendously with the over-all effectiveness and use of our fleet.”

“I personally like the product, some of the school administrators still prefer a paper trail of trip requests and approvals. Cook Consulting has always helped and assisted with any problems we have had.”

“This product is up to Cook’s usual standards for quality, ease of use, and support. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the Travel Tracker. All involved parties are able to see the parts that affect their job responsibilities which greatly enhances the communication aspect. Great product!”

“It is easily accessible and user friendly. Great feature that tracks field trips mileage and cost as well as submitting field trips for approval.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“Sometimes it seems to care about details a little too much. And this may just be personal preference but it is annoying at times to have to slow down to enter everything.”

“The cons are that its not always easy to changes buses if the bus that is down has not came back in on time. Also if a user does not put down the right time you may over schedule a bus on one day.”

“Travel Tracker is sometimes difficult to navigate. I sometimes need to change info on the request form, but some field are unchangeable.”

“Does not notify drivers or keep track of how to rotate drivers, only one person can manage–would be nice if it were set up as a google instrument so secretary, principal, or AP can manage.”

“Needs a more effective way to see when your buses are in use and not in use. There are several different screens where this can be done. One effective one would be helpful.”
