6 min readTransvoraa Team
The most common mistake in ground transportation software is buying for the fleet you have in five years. Here is what each fleet size actually needs today.
1 vehicle - owner-operator
- Online booking page so customers stop calling at 11pm
- Calendar view of the week, nothing more complex
- Automatic confirmations and reminders
- Card payment link on the booking
- No dispatcher, no driver app needed - you are the driver
2-5 vehicles - small operator
- Driver app with trip sheets and status updates
- Assignment board showing driver availability conflicts
- Shared customer records so any driver can take the call
- Basic reporting: trips, revenue, and cancellations per week
6-10 vehicles - growing company
- Shift and availability scheduling for drivers
- Corporate accounts with agreed rates and monthly invoicing
- Live map tracking for airport and time-critical work
- Reporting by driver, vehicle, and customer
11-25 vehicles - established small operator
- Multiple vehicle classes with separate pricing rules
- Affiliate and subcontractor handoff for overflow trips
- Booking API so your website, apps, and dispatch share one record
- Cost-per-trip and utilisation reporting for fleet decisions
Side-by-side summary
- Booking website: needed at every size
- Driver app: from 2 vehicles
- Shift scheduling: from 6 vehicles
- Corporate invoicing: from 6 vehicles
- API and affiliate handoff: from 11 vehicles
