Bunifu Go: School Transport App Enhancement with Flutter
Improving an existing school transport application with bug fixes, interface updates, live GPS tracking and school-specific Flutter builds.
Virva Infotech enhanced Bunifu Go's existing mobile application, addressing bugs, improving its design and speed, and implementing live location tracking and route drawing. We also manage client-specific application builds using Flutter flavours, allowing multiple school applications to share a common codebase.

Supporting connected school transport operations
Bunifu Go is a school transport platform serving schools, parents and transport teams. Its wider functionality covers school transport, student and staff attendance, route optimisation and transport billing.
Virva Infotech's involvement focused on enhancing the existing mobile application. We resolved bugs, improved the interface and performance, and implemented live GPS location tracking and route drawing.
The engagement also supports deployments for different school clients. When Bunifu provides the requirements for a new client, we configure and generate the corresponding application build using a shared Flutter codebase.
Improving an existing application across multiple school deployments
Bunifu Go needed improvements to its existing mobile application while supporting the requirements of different school clients. The key challenges were resolving bugs, improving the interface and speed, presenting live vehicle locations, and managing school-specific application builds through a shared Flutter codebase.
Resolving application issues
The application had multiple bugs when the project reached our team. These issues needed attention alongside improvements to the interface and application speed.
Presenting live location information
The mobile experience needed to display vehicle locations and draw routes on a map. This required connecting incoming location updates with the information presented in the application.
Managing school-specific versions
Bunifu serves multiple school clients, each requiring its own application configuration. The development workflow needed to accommodate these versions while keeping shared functionality within one codebase.
Application improvements built around live transport visibility
Bug fixes and performance improvements
We investigated and fixed issues in the existing application and carried out improvements to application speed. This work addressed the product already in use, alongside the additional functionality required by the client.
Interface and design enhancements
We updated the mobile interface to improve the presentation of application information and support the enhanced transport experience.
Live GPS tracking and route drawing
We implemented live GPS location tracking and map-based route drawing. These features allow the application to present vehicle positions and route information within the school transport experience.
School-specific Flutter builds
We manage multiple application flavours in Flutter. This lets us configure and generate a build for a particular school client while maintaining shared application functionality in a common codebase.
APIs and real-time updates
We worked with APIs and socket-based communication to connect the mobile application with its supporting services and display incoming updates.
Live vehicle locations and visible routes
Location tracking is a central part of the school transport experience. We implemented GPS tracking and route drawing so the application could show vehicle positions alongside route information.API and socket integration support the flow of updates between the application and its supporting services, bringing transport information into the mobile interface.
Trip attendance at a glance
The trip interface groups students by pending, on-board and alighted status. It also displays pickup availability, stops and route information, helping transport staff review participation during a school journey.
We use Flutter flavours to manage these configurations within a shared codebase. This allows common functionality to be maintained together while supporting the release of client-specific applications.
The technology behind Bunifu Go
The mobile application uses Flutter, with APIs connecting it to supporting services and socket-based communication supporting real-time updates. GPS and mapping functionality provide vehicle location tracking and route drawing. Flutter flavours support the configuration and generation of applications for different school clients.
An enhanced transport application and a repeatable deployment workflow
The engagement delivered bug fixes, design and speed improvements, live GPS tracking and route drawing within Bunifu Go’s existing mobile application.
The shared Flutter codebase also supports the preparation of application builds for individual school clients. This gives the development work a continuing role beyond a single application release.In his Clutch review, Wilberforce Seguton highlighted Virva Infotech’s speed and reliability, timely delivery and contribution to the application’s modernisation.
