Why operators switch

Sound familiar?

Most firms run on a patchwork of spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups and paper. It works — until the day it doesn't.

Without RouteOrdo

  • Jobs handed out over WhatsApp and missed at 6am
  • School contract invoices built in a spreadsheet every month
  • Paper tick sheets that go missing or never get filled in
  • An insurance certificate quietly expires — and you find out late
  • "Where's my taxi?" phone calls all day long
  • Chasing cash for jobs that should have been prepaid

With RouteOrdo

  • Jobs land on the driver's phone with a loud alert that won't be missed
  • Contract remittance documents generate themselves
  • Digital AM/PM tick sheets with live fee totals
  • Document expiry warnings weeks before anything lapses
  • Customers get a live tracking link automatically
  • Card payments taken online before the job even starts
Everything in one place

The whole operation, not just a booking form.

Most "taxi software" stops at taking a booking. RouteOrdo runs the parts that actually eat your day — school contracts, driver paperwork, live dispatch, payments and keeping customers in the loop.

01 — LIVE DISPATCH

See every driver, every job, in real time

A live board and map showing who's free, who's on a job, and exactly where each car is. Assign with a tap, and the driver gets it instantly on their phone with an alert that won't be missed.

  • Live GPS map with colour-coded driver status
  • One-tap assign, reassign or force-offline
  • Accept · En route · Arrived · On board · Complete
  • Loud dispatch alert that survives a locked phone

02 — SCHOOL & COUNCIL CONTRACTS

School runs that bill themselves

The bit no one else does properly. Set up a multi-pickup contract once, and RouteOrdo auto-dispatches the AM and PM runs, tracks attendance on a digital tick sheet, and produces the monthly remittance document — weekly summary or full daily breakdown. No spreadsheets.

  • Multi-passenger pickups in pickup order
  • Auto-dispatch 45 min before AM and PM runs
  • AM/PM tick sheet with live fee totals
  • Monthly remittance — weekly summary or daily breakdown

03 — DRIVER APP & PROFILES

Drivers manage themselves

Every driver gets an installable app — no app store needed. They accept jobs, run their school sheets, and upload their own documents. RouteOrdo tracks expiry dates and warns you before a licence or insurance lapses.

  • Installable app for iPhone & Android — no app store
  • Self-service upload — licences, insurance, MOT, DBS & more
  • Colour-coded expiry warnings before anything lapses
  • Driver applications & approval built in

04 — CUSTOMER COMMS & LIVE TRACKING

Customers stop ringing the office

Booking confirmations, "your driver is on the way" texts and a live tracking page go out on their own. The customer sees their driver's photo, the car, the plate and a live map — without anyone in your office picking up the phone.

  • Automatic booking confirmation emails
  • "Driver on the way" SMS with live tracking link
  • Tracking page shows driver photo, vehicle & plate
  • A saved customer list with notes and history

05 — ONLINE BOOKING & SMART PRICING

Take bookings online, priced your way

Customers get an instant fixed quote from your own tariff — tapering mile rates, fixed airport prices, even NHS and contract rates — and book straight into your dispatch board. You get a branded booking page on your own subdomain; link it from your existing website or share it anywhere.

  • Branded booking page on your own subdomain
  • Your tariff: tapering mile bands & fixed airport prices
  • Flight number & time captured for airport pickups

06 — GET PAID

Card payment taken before the wheels turn

Customers can pay by card online when they book — money confirmed via Stripe before the job hits your board. Prefer cash or card in the car? That works too, and every job carries its payment status so nothing slips through unpaid.

  • Secure online card payments powered by Stripe
  • Cash and card-on-arrival also supported
  • Paid / unpaid status on every booking, at a glance
  • Driver tally keeps takings straight per driver

Questions, answered

Frequently asked

Is it really my brand, or does "RouteOrdo" show everywhere?
Your customers and drivers see your firm — your name, logo and colours on the booking page, confirmation emails, texts and the driver app, all on your own subdomain (yourfirm.routeordo.co.uk). RouteOrdo only appears on your admin side.
Do my drivers need to download anything from an app store?
No. The driver app installs straight from the browser onto iPhone or Android in about ten seconds — no app store, no updates to chase. It works like a normal app, with loud job alerts that come through even on a locked phone.
How do online card payments work? Who holds the money?
Card payments run through Stripe using your own Stripe account, so the money goes directly to you — we never touch it. Customers can also choose cash or card-on-arrival, and every booking shows its payment status on your board.
We run school contracts — can it handle multi-pickup runs?
That's exactly what it was built for. Set the contract up once with passengers in pickup order, and it auto-dispatches the AM and PM runs every school day, records attendance on a digital tick sheet, and generates the monthly remittance document for the council or school.
I already have a website — do I have to replace it?
Keep it. You get a branded quote-and-book page on your own subdomain — add a "Book Now" button or link on your existing site and bookings feed straight into your dispatch board. If you don't have a website, your booking page works as one.
How does the pricing work?
There's a one-time £249 setup — that covers us building your branded operation, domain, booking page and driver app. Then it's £100 a month by card, or £25 a week collected by Direct Debit through GoCardless, whichever suits your cash flow. No fixed term, no per-driver fees, no per-booking charges — cancel the subscription whenever you like.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes — start a timed demo and the system sets you up with your own login in about a minute. It's the full working system pre-loaded with sample data for 7 days, so you can dispatch jobs, run a school sheet and try the driver app properly. Demos carry RouteOrdo demo branding (no customisation) and expire automatically — no card needed.
How do I pay the setup fee and subscription?
The £249 setup is paid securely by card — we send you a Stripe payment link. After that, monthly customers pay by card, and weekly customers are collected by Direct Debit through GoCardless, which is protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee.
How long does setup take?
Usually a day or two. Tell us your firm name and colours, we create your branded operation, you enter your tariff and invite your drivers — and you're dispatching.
