Use case · Group travel

Group Travel Software

Plan, book and run every group journey from one place.

Vehicle bookings, driver allocation, fares and routing, with every passenger on the trip accounted for. Book the whole vehicle out to a client or charge per seat, and let the routing and the invoicing follow automatically.

A better way to manage group travel

Day trips, outings and standing services

Whether it is a coach out for the afternoon, a weekly shopping run or a society booking the minibus for a Saturday, the work is the same: the right vehicle, the right driver, the fares collected and everybody accounted for. This is the part of Road XS built for that.

Group bookings

Whole vehicle, or per passenger

Book a vehicle out to a single client, or account for individual passengers on the trip. Sometimes you will not have every name in advance, and Road XS still keeps the count and the fares straight.

Per passenger, per seat, or the whole vehicle out to a client. Fares and fees are worked out as the trip completes, and completed trips become invoices without anybody re-keying them.

Drivers

Allocated fairly, briefed properly

Drivers get the trip, the group, the access notes and the navigation in one place, and you get a clear view of who is busy so allocation stops falling to the same two people every week.

Tracking

Every booking and passenger accounted for

Group size, pickup points, access needs and fares are captured once and surfaced to the right driver at the right moment, on the run sheet, at the door and at drop-off. Nothing about the trip lives only in somebody's head.

Still deciding

The things people ask us first

If yours is not here, just ask. You will get a straight answer from someone who knows the software.

Organised journeys made together: day trips and outings, social club and society transport, community excursions, shopping runs and regular scheduled group services. Road XS brings the vehicle booking, driver allocation, fares and routing into one place for all of them.

Yes, or charge per passenger, or per seat. The booking carries the vehicle, the driver, the fare basis and the route either way, and the invoice follows from the same record.

That is normal for group work. Seats are held and passengers counted on the day, so the manifest and the fares still add up without you chasing an organiser for a list.

Clients, coordinators and your own admin team, through the portal or by phone to your office. Every request lands in the same place and the routing fits it into the most efficient trip automatically.

However you need it to. Fares and fees are calculated as the trip completes, concessions applied automatically, and completed trips turn into invoices without re-keying. Online payments are supported.

Yes. Multi-stop trips are sequenced properly using real travel times, so the first person collected is not sitting through the whole route, and each meeting point can be pinned to a three metre square.

It does. Drivers set their own availability, allocation shows you who is already busy so the work is spread fairly, and mileage and expenses come out of the same trip record.
