Driving School Software FAQ
Find answers to frequent questions about features, CMVR compliance, mobile PWA access, lesson scheduling, and pricing for Indian driving academies.
Q1. What is DriveBloom?
DriveBloom is an all-in-one driving school management software designed for motor driving academies in India. It automates student enrollments, rolling lesson schedules, instructor rosters, vehicle tracking, and statutory CMVR attendance registers.
Q2. Does DriveBloom comply with Indian Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR 1989)?
Yes. DriveBloom is engineered specifically around Rules 24 through 32 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR) 1989 and the Motor Vehicles Act 1988. It maintains verifiable digital registers of learner training hours, dual-control vehicle fitness, and instructor certifications required during RTO audits.
Q3. How does DriveBloom prevent driving lesson double-booking?
DriveBloom uses a multi-variable calendar engine that cross-references three critical assets before confirming any slot: the learner's preferred time, the instructor's active roster, and the assigned dual-control vehicle. If an instructor or vehicle is already booked for that hour, the system blocks the conflict.
Q4. Can an owner also be an instructor in DriveBloom?
Yes. In many Indian driving schools, the academy owner actively teaches driving lessons. DriveBloom allows an account to maintain owner administrative privileges while conducting daily training sessions as an instructor without needing separate logins.
Q5. Do students or instructors need to download large apps from Google Play or the App Store?
No. DriveBloom is built as a lightweight Progressive Web App (PWA). Users can open it directly in mobile browsers (Chrome, Safari) and optionally install it to their home screen with one tap without consuming massive device storage.
Q6. How does DriveBloom handle student attendance tracking?
Instructors can mark attendance (Present, Absent, or Late) with one tap on their smartphone at the end of each session. DriveBloom automatically calculates total completed practical hours towards the student's DL test requirement.
Q7. How much does DriveBloom cost?
DriveBloom offers transparent pricing in Indian Rupees starting at ₹999/month for the Starter plan (up to 50 students, 2 vehicles), ₹1,999/month for the Growth plan (up to 200 students, 6 vehicles), and ₹3,999/month for Enterprise. A 14-day free trial is available.
Q8. Is student data safe and compliant with Indian privacy laws?
Yes. DriveBloom strictly complies with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and the Information Technology Act 2000. Data is protected with AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and database Row Level Security (RLS).
