Simplify travel bookings with RideSuite
The challenges
For taxi businesses accustomed to on-demand work, pre-booked rides can be difficult to manage. A booking might arrive by email, phone or WhatsApp. It might be for tomorrow, or for a pick-up in five weeks time. Should you scheduled it right away or wait until the day of travel? Without proper software, booking administration can become overwhelming. For instance, there is order management, booking changes and scheduling, not to mention rescheduling, invoicing and chasing payments.
RideSuite for taxis businesses
RideSuite has developed an easy-to-use cloud software platform that provides tailor-made solutions for just these type of challenges. Order management processes are tightly controlled and automated where possible, scheduling becomes a 10 minute task rather than a 3 hour grind, and maintaining control over daily operations is a breeze. It's time for a reset. It's time to reimagine what is possible. It's time to discover what RideSuite can do for your business.

RideSuite for Drivers
Drivers are the bedrock of the ground transport industry. The driver is the only person a customer meets, so their professionalism and performance reflects, not just on the transport service provider, but those further down the supplier chain. The RideSuite Driver App provides all the essential information they need to perform a ride. Their location is visible to the office-based team, to the agency you work with and their agency too! Passengers using apps powered by RideSuite can see the driver's location and direct-message them. Upgrade to a RideSuite Pro subscription to unlock advanced features in the driver app, such as real-time flight status alerts about current jobs.
How can we help?
You are charged according to the number of staff and drivers who are using the platform, so you might wish to add a few at first and the rest later. We recommend adding key staff and trusted drivers who are familiar with using driver apps. You can then add more drivers as you push more bookings through the platform. Scheduling will be easier and more efficient once you’ve added all your drivers to RideSuite.
RideSuite is billed per user per month, with discounts for annual plans. Please see our pricing page for details of available plans.
Using RideHQ, a ride can be directly assigned, at any time, to any one of your drivers. As last minute bookings affect scheduling decisions, RideSchedule is designed to help you bulk schedule rides up to three days in advance. Most customers prefer to prepare their schedule the evening before each day.
RideSchedule allows you to create weekly recurring shift patterns, custom shift plans for the weeks ahead and adjust daily shifts as necessary. Shifts acts as guide rules within the scheduler, helping you to respect agreed working hours. RideSchedule displays the journey time to a drivers first collection and the trip back to the depot or their home if applicable.
