FetchKids overview

What is FetchKids?

FetchKids automates your entire drop off/pick up process for school administrators, teachers, and families. With FetchKids, organizations have advance notice of parents’ arrival, streamlining the entire pickup process and increasing security and efficiency. Students are ready to dismiss as soon as a parent arrives.

FetchKids will help your organization stand out and gain a competitive advantage over rivals. Offer your customers VIP service by ensuring no wait time for pickups. Any organization that benefits from receiving advance notice of a customer or parent's arrival can utilize FetchKids. Current customers include preschools, elementary schools, special needs schools, and even doggy and adult daycare facilities. Having advance notice of arrival allows for ample time to prepare the child, pet, or senior for pickup. Preparation may involve diaper changes, child/dog/adult clean up, dressing kids in rain or snow gear, or gathering belongings.

With FetchKids, not only can you offer a compelling differentiating service from your competition, you also can generate additional revenue. Busy people gladly pay extra for time-saving services like FetchKids. Streamlining your operations with FetchKids also reduces staff burden at the most chaotic time of the day.
