Traditional calling vs GPS-based smart calling

When are manual workflows good enough, and when does GPS-linked calling matter? Here’s a practical comparison.

Quick comparison

Traditional calling

  • Triggered when the guardian arrives.
  • Higher waiting time during preparation.
  • Harder to measure without strong logs.

GPS-based calling

  • Proactive calling on approach inside a geofence.
  • Lower waiting time at the gate.
  • Audit logs and reporting to improve operations.

What does GPS actually add?

The real difference isn’t “tracking” itself—it’s timing. When the school knows a guardian will arrive within minutes, student preparation becomes organized instead of reactive.

When to choose each approach

  • If dismissal volume is very low: traditional tools may be enough.
  • If congestion is frequent: GPS-linked calling makes a visible difference.
  • If the school has multiple buildings/gates: reporting and auditability matter.
