EZPick: A Smarter School Dismissal App
EZPick makes end-of-day pickup safe and organised. Parents request a pickup from their phone, teachers see requests in real time, and students are released without disrupting class. Whetstonez designed and built the parent and teacher apps, website and dashboard.
The challenge
School dismissal was noisy and confusing. Last-minute pickup changes, crowded pickup points and announcements that interrupted classes made the end of the day stressful for staff, parents and students.
Our solution
EZPick gives parents a simple app to request a pickup and track its status, and gives teachers a list of confirmed requests so they can release students calmly. Authorised pickup people and pickup history are managed in the app.
Last-minute changes
Parents update pickup plans in the app and staff see them instantly.
Congestion
Timed pickup requests spread arrivals and reduce crowding.
Class disruption
No more announcements over the speaker during lessons.
Safety
Only authorised people can collect a student.
