Group trips create a communication problem.
When forty students travel together, forty families want updates. Juggling that over personal phones, a class WhatsApp group, or phone calls quickly turns into missed messages, confusion about what's official, and one person's phone becoming the entire operation's bottleneck.
How it works
- STEP 1
Connect your own WhatsApp Business number.
You own it; Meta approves it; we make the setup simple.
- STEP 2
Create a trip and add your parent list.
One at a time, upload a CSV, or share a signup link and let parents register their own number.
- STEP 3
Send updates, reply from one shared inbox.
Any staff member can see and respond to parent messages.
- STEP 4
Archive when the trip's done.
Full history stays available.

TUS Global (Thrissur, Kerala) is a Meta-registered WhatsApp Tech Provider — not a reseller sitting on top of one. Your WhatsApp Business Account is yours; you pay Meta directly and transparently for messages. We never sell parent phone numbers or message content. Our access is limited to what's needed to run your service, provide support, and handle a verified data-deletion request. Privacy Policy
Simple and transparent.
One flat monthly fee — no markup on WhatsApp's own message costs, no confusing usage tiers. Contact us for pricing.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need our own WhatsApp Business Account?
You need to connect one, but you don't need to have one already. Meta's official Embedded Signup — right from inside TUS Trip Updates — walks you through creating a WhatsApp Business Account (and a Meta Business Portfolio, if you don't have one) as part of the same process. You own it; we just make it simple.
Is this only for school trips?
It's purpose-built for group and student tours, but works for any trip where you're updating a list of contacts — college tours, family group tours, and similar.
Do parents need to install anything?
No. They just need WhatsApp, which almost everyone already has.
We're a freelancer, not a registered company — can we use this?
Yes. Meta's signup process supports individuals without existing business registration — we can walk you through it.
How much does it cost?
A simple flat monthly fee, no per-message markup. Contact us for current pricing.
Do I have to manually add every parent's contact?
No. Add them manually, upload a CSV if you already have a list from the school, or share a signup link and let parents register themselves — whichever fits how you already work.
Can my team use this from their phones during a trip?
Yes — it's built mobile-first, since that's how it actually gets used in the field. It can be added to your phone's home screen like an app, including notifications when a parent replies.
Is this safe for children's information?
We only handle parent/guardian contact details and trip messages — never data collected from children directly. Full details in our Privacy Policy.
How fast do you respond if something comes up during a trip?
WhatsApp us anytime — we reply within 1 business day, usually much sooner.
