Easier to buy. Built to plug in.
Synovia is on the cooperative contracts districts already use, integrates with the routing software you already run, and rides on hardware from partners who build for rugged environments.
Cooperative purchasing
Skip the RFP. Keep the compliance.
National purchasing cooperatives competitively bid Synovia on your behalf. Eligible districts purchase directly off the contract, faster to approve and fully defensible to your board and business office.
Sourcewell
A government agency serving 50,000+ member organizations. Sourcewell contracts satisfy competitive-bid requirements in most states, so your purchase is pre-vetted and audit-ready.

Routing integrations
Keep your routing software. We connect to it.
Your routing plan flows into Synovia automatically, routes, stops, students, and assignments. Drivers run the plan on the tablet, dispatch sees plan-vs-actual, and parents get stop times that match reality.
