SkoolRun.The people behind SkoolRun
SkoolRun is scholar transport software for South African parents, school transport owners and drivers. It is built and run by La Tora Technologies (Pty) Ltd in Johannesburg.
Founder
Thulane Ngwenya
Founder & CEOThulane also leads our sister company, Gazole Fleet & Fuel Management Solutions, where he has worked in fleet management. Fleet management gives businesses control of their vehicles, drivers and costs. SkoolRun was started to bring that same thinking to school transport, scaled for parents, school transport business owners and drivers.
Leadership and key staff
Thlologelo opens doors for SkoolRun across the school transport world, working with transport businesses, associations and schools so that good operators are found, trusted and supported. If you run a school transport business or belong to an association and want to partner with us, Thlologelo is the person to talk to.
Siphiwe leads how SkoolRun reaches and welcomes parents, transport owners and drivers, from the first conversation to getting set up and seeing results. Siphiwe makes sure families know what SkoolRun can do for them, and that every owner and driver feels looked after.
Why we built SkoolRun
Most school transport is run by small owner-drivers on phone calls and paper. We give them the tools fleet operators use: routes, driver and vehicle checks, live trip tracking and clear records. Parents get to know their child is on the way, and good operators get found.
The company
Trading as SkoolRun. Based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Our sister company
SkoolRun grew out of Gazole, where the team has worked in fleet and fuel management. We bring the same approach of knowing where vehicles are, who is driving them and what they cost to run to school transport. Gazole continues to serve fleet operators. Visit gazole.co.za.
