Dispatch system

One complete system for taxi and hire car

Dispatch, driver app, passenger app, booking channels, back office and an operator portal in one cloud platform. Run your company with more control, records you can rely on and room to grow, for taxi and hire car, school transport and students with disability, NDIS, patient and community transport.

Dispatch

See every trip and step in before anything runs late

Follow your vehicles live, assign jobs by hand or automatically, and set up dispatch to match the way you work.

  • Every vehicle on the map, with its position and status in real time.
  • Estimated arrival times (ETAs) recalculated all along the route.
  • An alert when a stop is at risk of running late, so you can let the school, the carer or the passenger know in time.
  • Move, change and reassign jobs straight away.
  • Edit many bookings at once.
  • Off sick? Select the week in the calendar and cancel every trip with one click.
  • Taxi, hire car, school runs, NDIS and patient transport in one system.

Live follow-up

Watch every run as it happens

  • Delays show before they happen, and completed stops are ticked off.
  • No-shows are cancelled on the spot, with a note from the driver.

Made to fit

The system your way

  • Your own attributes and fields, such as needs like a wheelchair, a harness or an escort.
  • Attributes can be information or requirements: only cars and drivers that meet them get the job.

Audit trail and GDPR

See who changed what
