Connect each booking, vehicle, driver and trip sheet, from first request to final invoice.

Taxi companies, airport cab operators, school bus operators, intercity bus operators, car rental companies and limousine firms all sell a seat or a vehicle for a stated time. Each needs the booking, the driver, the vehicle and the trip record held together, so billing follows what was driven.

At a glance

Passenger transport trades all move people. Each sells a different promise. A taxi company sells a pickup within minutes. An intercity bus operator sells a numbered seat on a scheduled departure, and a school bus operator sells a morning and afternoon route for a whole term. Car rental and limousine firms sell a vehicle for a booked period, with or without a chauffeur.

The records behind each promise are alike. There is a booking or a route, and there is a vehicle with its permit and insurance dates. A driver brings a licence and a duty roster. A trip sheet shows kilometres, hours, tolls and extras. Dispatchers assign the work, drivers carry it out, route supervisors check the boarding lists and accounts staff turn each completed trip into an invoice, a fee or a driver settlement.

The trades part company on who pays. Tourist vehicle operators bill a tour package, while employee transport providers invoice a corporate client each month from rosters and shift changes. Airport cab operators settle counter fares and driver shares by the day. One system can hold each pattern without forcing all of them into a single mould, because the booking and the trip stay the same underneath.

The trades

Software for each kind of passenger transport business.

Taxi companies

A taxi company earns from cabs that rarely sit idle, so every trip needs a booking, a driver and a fare on record. The software ties the dispatch board, duty slips, fuel fills, permit dates and the nightly cash count to one trip sheet for billing.

Airport cab operators

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.

Car rental companies

Car rental companies run self-drive cars, chauffeur trips and monthly corporate cabs on messaging bookings, paper duty slips and a spreadsheet of expiring documents. A fleet and booking system built for the company would show each car’s availability, record the kilometres and hours on every duty, and bill a corporate client from those records.

Limousine companies

A limousine company sells a booked journey, so the record behind each booking matters. Limousine company software holds the reservation, the quote, the vehicle, the chauffeur and the trip sheet together. Airport transfers, weddings, corporate accounts and hourly hire follow one flow. Deposits, extras and invoices settle against the same booking that dispatch worked from.

Tourist vehicle operators

Tourist vehicle operators hire out coaches, minibuses and vans by the day, kilometre or package, and no two quotes carry the same night halt or extra pickup. Each hire is one booking. The booking holds its quote, advance, vehicle, driver and route, while trip sheets, tolls and driver allowances close against it and permit dates are watched per vehicle.

Employee transport providers

An employee transport provider carries a client company’s staff to and from work on a contract. The software holds shift rosters, routes, vehicle allocation, trip sheets, safety escorts, driver duty, fuel and contract-wise invoicing. Each client is billed from the trips actually run. Nothing is retyped from a spreadsheet.

School bus operators

A school bus operator answers to guardians, school offices and ageing chassis. The school bus operator software holds routes, stop rosters, attendant and driver duty, boarding ticks, permit dates and workshop jobs in one place, with term fees beside them. Guardians can see the last confirmed stop.

Intercity bus operators

Intercity operators sell seats on scheduled night departures, run driver pairs through long duty hours and keep coaches fit for the road. Booking charts, crew rosters and workshop job cards usually sit in three places kept by three teams, who meet only when a coach fails to leave the terminal. The intercity bus software holds the departure, seat chart, crew roster and each coach’s permit, tyre and service dates together, so the dispatcher reads one record.

What they share

Where these businesses lose time and money.

Trip records live on paper

Duty slips, waybills and seat charts are filled in by hand in the cab or at the depot, then carried to the office in a bag. Kilometres and waiting time reach accounts late.

Vehicle and driver documents expire quietly

Insurance, fitness certificates, route permits and driving licences each run on their own dates, kept in a folder or a spreadsheet that one person updates. A bus can leave with a lapsed paper.

Availability is judged from memory

A dispatcher decides which car is free by phoning drivers, and a rental desk checks a whiteboard on the wall. Double bookings and idle vehicles follow. Nobody can say why.

Billing differs by customer, not by trade

A corporate client pays monthly on agreed rates, a parent pays per term and a walk-in pays at the counter. The rate card, the extras and the tax treatment are rebuilt by hand for every invoice, and nobody checks them twice.

Driver pay and vehicle costs are settled apart

Fuel, tolls, maintenance, commission and trip allowances sit in separate notebooks, so the cost of running one vehicle for one month is rarely known with any confidence. Margins stay a guess.

What the software does

What we build across passenger transport.

One booking from request to invoice

Take a phone, app or counter request, assign a vehicle and a driver, and carry the same record through the trip to the bill and the driver’s settlement. Nobody re-types the journey.

Show which vehicle and driver are free

Hold a calendar for every vehicle and every driver, with service blocks, leave and permit limits marked on it. Dispatchers see it first.

Capture the trip as it happens

Record pickup and drop points, odometer readings, waiting time, tolls and extras on the trip sheet, either from the driver’s phone or at the depot when the vehicle returns. Accounts bill from that sheet.

Run routes, rosters and seat charts

Plan fixed school routes, shift-based employee rosters and numbered intercity seats as schedules that repeat. Absences, swaps and boarding lists are changed once, in one place, and every affected driver and supervisor sees the change.

Track documents, services and fuel by vehicle

Give every vehicle and driver a dated list of permits, insurance, licences, services and fuel fills, and send reminders to the right person well before any of those dates passes. Nothing lapses unseen.

Keep customer, driver and agent ledgers apart

Keep corporate accounts, parent fees, driver shares and agent commission in separate ledgers, so that no balance is ever mixed with another one. Each balance comes from trips that were recorded and can be traced to a date, a vehicle and a driver, which settles most arguments quickly.

Common questions

Questions passenger transport businesses ask.

Does one product fit every passenger transport trade?

No. Taxi, airport cab, tourist vehicle, school bus, employee transport and intercity bus operators each get a product that runs on their trip sheets, rosters and driver files. Car rental and limousine firms get a build shaped by how they quote, hand over a vehicle and invoice corporate accounts as well as private hirers.

Can drivers use their own phones?

Yes. A driver app can show the next duty, collect trip details and capture a signature or a photo. What it does depends on the devices and the network coverage along your routes, and that is reviewed during implementation.

Does it track vehicles live on a map?

It can, where the vehicles carry a tracking device or the driver’s phone shares its location. Each device type is scoped once you know what the fleet uses.

Will it handle permits and safety rules?

It warns before permit, insurance and licence dates lapse. It does not decide what a rule requires. Compliance stays between your company and whichever authority sets the rule for your vehicles and routes.
