Transport · Software for airport cab operators

Match every arriving flight to a booked cab, a driver in the queue and a settled fare.

Airport cab operators run counter sales, app bookings and corporate pickups from one forecourt, and the software holds each booking against a flight, a fare zone and a driver slot. Queues, trip sheets and cash are recorded per cab. Permit and fitness dates sit beside the roster.

At a glance

An airport cab business sells one product, a seat from the arrivals door to an address, but it sells it through four doors. A prepaid counter, a phone app, a hotel desk and a corporate travel desk each hold a different piece of the same trip. Drivers wait in a holding lot. No one desk sees the whole trip.

Fleet management for airport cab operators begins with the trip. Each booking carries a flight number, a terminal, a fare zone and a vehicle class, and the record stays open until the driver’s cash has been counted and signed for.

How the work runs today

The counter team sells prepaid coupons by zone and vehicle class, and the call desk takes pre-booked pickups with a flight number, a terminal and a name board request. Late flights shift the pickup time. The marshal releases cabs in order. Drivers dispute a missed turn against a handwritten queue sheet drawn up at shift start, and by midnight it no longer matches the rank.

After a trip the driver hands in a coupon or collects a fare, then goes back to the lot. Night shifts close with a cash count, a fuel slip and a note of waiting time. Fleet supervisors watch permit renewals, fitness tests, insurance dates and odometer readings for every cab on the roster, usually from three separate files. Corporate accounts are billed from a month of trip sheets. Disputes go back to paper.

Where it breaks

What goes wrong for airport cab operators without a proper system.

Flight delays break the pickup plan

A booking names a flight, but the arrival time lives on a display board and in a driver’s head. A late landing leaves a cab waiting at the wrong hour and a passenger at the door without one.

Coupons and cash do not tie to trips

A counter sells a prepaid coupon, a driver collects a cash fare and a corporate rider signs a slip. Three kinds of money meet at shift end with no common trip number. Totals rarely agree.

The holding lot order is kept on paper

Drivers say they were next in line and the marshal’s list says otherwise. With no timed entry record, each dispute is settled by whoever argues longer. Marshals lose patience. Drivers lose trust in the queue.

Fare zones are applied from memory

A tariff sheet lists zones, night surcharges, luggage extras and toll pass-throughs, and staff quote from habit. Two passengers going to the same address pay different amounts. Nobody notices until a complaint.

Compliance dates sit in separate files

Permit, insurance, fitness and driver licence dates live with different people, and a cab is found out of date at the airport gate and not at the office. Rostering never knew.

What the software does

What we would build for airport cab operators.

Named the way your team already talks about the work. We start with whichever part the audit shows is costing you most.

Counter coupons and zone fares

Sell prepaid coupons by fare zone and vehicle class from your own tariff sheet, with night surcharges, luggage extras and toll pass-throughs priced the same way every time. No guesswork at the counter.

Flight-linked pre-bookings

Hold each pre-booked pickup against a flight number, terminal and meeting point, with the passenger’s phone number beside it. A changed arrival time moves the pickup. The driver is alerted.

Holding lot queue

Stamp each cab into the lot and release it in order. Every call by the marshal is on record, so a skipped turn is visible to the whole rank.

Trip sheets and meter checks

Capture pickup, drop, zone, meter reading and waiting time on one sheet per trip. The sheet becomes the reference for the fare, the coupon and the driver’s share of the day.

Driver cash settlement

Close each shift against coupons redeemed, cash collected and fuel slips handed in, and see any shortfall by driver and by date before the driver leaves the office. Cash stays honest.

Corporate and hotel accounts

Bill travel desks and hotels from a month of trip sheets, with rider names, cost centres and agreed rates. One statement per account lets the desk’s finance staff check it against their booking list.

Permits, fitness and insurance dates

Keep permit, fitness, insurance and driver licence dates against each cab and each driver. Lapsing papers mark the cab before rostering. The weekly renewal list prints itself.

Common questions

Questions airport cab operators ask before they call.

Can the counter and the app share one fare table?

Yes. Zones, vehicle classes, night surcharges and extras are entered once, and the counter, the call desk and the app all read from that table. Tariff changes apply from the date you set. Old fares stay as sold.

Does it follow flights by itself?

Arrival times are keyed in by the call desk, or updated from a flight information feed if you subscribe to one. A feed is separate integration work, reviewed during implementation. It is optional.

How are drivers who own their cab handled?

An owner-driver has a record with their own cab, permit dates and a share rule per fare type, while a salaried driver on a company cab follows another rule. Both close out at shift end. Both are paid from one screen.

Will the data leave with us if we change systems?

Every trip sheet, coupon, driver account and corporate statement can be saved out as a file, in a layout settled during quotation, before any build begins. You keep your history.

What happens after I share my requirements?

An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.

How much will the software cost?

We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
