For the HopSkipDrive team · Existing-customer expansion

You secure the workforce on Cloudflare. Now run the marketplace and RouteWise AI on it too.

HopSkipDrive already runs Zero Trust, WAF, Bot Management, and DNS on Cloudflare — and you've already moved a workload off AWS onto our platform. The next two moves are right there: protect the safety-critical marketplace end-to-end, and run RouteWise AI on the same developer platform — no new vendor, no new security review.

The foundation is already live.

Your workforce, DNS, and front-line web defense already run on Cloudflare. Every expansion below lands on the same control plane — and you've already proven the migration path by moving a workload off AWS onto our platform.

Protect the marketplace. Run the AI. Same platform.

HopSkipDrive moves kids safely and now ships RouteWise AI for route optimization. Both belong on the platform you already trust with your workforce.

1 Protect the safety-critical marketplace

TurnstileNew

Protect rider/driver sign-up and caregiver flows from bots and fake accounts — without CAPTCHAs that frustrate parents. A safety brand can't afford friction or fraud.

API ShieldNew

The marketplace runs on APIs — booking, dispatch, driver matching. You have WAF + Bot Management; API Shield adds schema validation, discovery, and abuse protection on the endpoints that move every ride.

🔒

DLP + Zero TrustExpand

You run Zero Trust for the workforce — extend it with Data Loss Prevention to protect minors' PII across apps. The highest-sensitivity data you hold deserves the strongest controls.

2 Run RouteWise AI on the developer platform

AI GatewayNew

Put a control plane in front of RouteWise's models: cost attribution, caching on repeated route queries, rate limits, logging, and provider fallback. Govern AI spend without touching the product code.

Workers AINew

Run route-optimization inference at the edge — close to the schools and districts you serve — instead of round-tripping to a single cloud region. Lower latency on every route calculated.

R2New

Zero-egress storage for route, ride, and training data feeding RouteWise. Pairs directly with the AWS migration you've already started — no egress tolls every time data moves.

You've already done this once. Moving a workload off AWS onto Cloudflare proved the path — the platform, the security review, the migration. RouteWise AI and the marketplace expansion are the same move, one step further: more of what's already working.

The shortest expansion conversation you'll have this year.

You've already cleared vendor selection, security review, and a production migration. Adding the marketplace defenses and the RouteWise AI layer is a configuration conversation, not a new-vendor evaluation. 30 minutes, no slides — just where it fits on the roadmap.
