PBJ Pickup
Development

PBJ Pickup offers a touchless, secure and affordable app-based solution for childcare centers and preschools to track child pickup authorizations. With PBJ Pickup you can increase the safety and parental confidence in your pickup practices by making sure kids are picked up by the right person, every time. The mobile app is implemented for user-to-user interaction, in which a teacher/admin verifies pick-up authorization via QR codes.
