Answers to your questions

Yes. Every booking is logged automatically: the passenger, when the booking was made, the pick-up and destination, the driver and vehicle, and who took and who dispatched the job, with every later change in the audit log. The records stay in the system for as long as you need them, for example the 6 or 12 months your council's licence conditions ask for, and you can anonymise old customer data when you no longer need it. Check your council's conditions for exactly what they require, and contact us if you'd like to go through it.

Yes. Drivers can start street and rank jobs in the driver app, zone queues keep the order fair, and the driver app calculates fares from the tariffs you set up. If your council requires a tested meter in the vehicle, talk to us about the meter you use.

Yes. Regular journeys are booked once for the whole term, and AI route optimisation plans the runs, taking into account who can travel together and what each pupil needs (wheelchair, passenger assistant, a familiar driver).

Yes. Contract bookings can be entered or imported, or come in from your contract partner's system through our API, and each customer account is invoiced with its own rules. Contact us to go through the set-up for your contracts.
