One register for the fleet, the drivers and the paperwork

Vehicles, classes, drivers and licences in one place, with the expiry dates that matter surfaced before they cost you a job.

Vehicle classes are how you sell, so that is how it is modelled

Customers do not book a registration number, they book "a 53-seater with a toilet". Transport Chief groups vehicles into classes carrying the capacity, the features and the photographs, and those classes are what quoting, the planner and your online storefront all work from.

It means a substitution is a non-event. Swap which vehicle covers a job and the quote, the capacity check and the customer-facing description all still hold, because they were never tied to that one bus.

  • Capacity per class, checked against passenger counts
  • Features recorded: air conditioning, wifi, toilet, wheelchair access, luggage, seatbelts
  • Photographs per class, reused on quotes and the storefront
  • Rates set per class

Compliance dates that come to you

Certificate of fitness, registration, road user charges and service intervals are tracked per vehicle, and the system tells you what is coming up. The failure mode this removes is the expensive one: discovering on a Friday afternoon that the vehicle rostered for Saturday's wedding went out of certification on Tuesday.

Driver credentials work the same way. Licence classes and endorsements are held against the driver, so the planner can tell you when the person you have assigned is not licensed for the vehicle.

  • Certificate of fitness and registration expiry
  • Road user charges
  • Service plans and intervals per vehicle
  • Driver licence classes and endorsements
  • Inspection forms, printable as PDF

Drivers, and who can drive what

Drivers are grouped into classes the same way vehicles are, so "who can take the 53-seater" is a property of the system rather than something held in one person's head. Assignment on the planner then checks it for you.

  • Driver register with contact details and credentials
  • Driver classes, matched against vehicle requirements
  • Availability respected by the planner
  • Run sheets per driver, per day
