Where Destination Tools is heading: the features we're building next, what's planned after that, and the ideas we're shaping with your feedback.
Live in the product today.
A branded space where your passengers find their trips, receipts and the live map, without an account to create.
Booking needs no account and still does not — everything runs from links. The portal is an optional extra for passengers who want one place to look: upcoming and past journeys, downloadable receipts, the addresses they travel between, and the live "track your ride" view on the day.
Signing in is a link to the address they booked with — no password to invent or forget, and the link works once and expires. It carries your logo and your colours, and on your own booking domain it lives at /portal.
What shipped
A short "how was your ride?" after each completed trip that routes happy passengers to your public reviews.
The window just after a trip is when a passenger is most likely to say how it went. When a driver marks a job complete, a brief follow-up goes out asking for a rating — one tap, no login, works straight from the email.
Strong ratings are offered your Google or Trustpilot profile; anything else comes to you privately first, so you hear about a problem before the internet does. Where you set the line is up to you.
What shipped
A versioned REST API that wires trips, quotes, drivers and invoices straight into your own site, dashboards and tools.
Everything the app does — creating a trip, pricing a quote, checking a driver, raising an invoice, taking a payment — is available over a documented REST API secured by per-business API keys, with full reference docs and a machine-readable OpenAPI spec.
It is what our own booking flows and our native apps run on, so anything the product can do, your systems can do too — no scraping, no workarounds.
What shipped
Run the business from your pocket — today's jobs, new trips and payments, with a notification the moment something needs you.
A native app for owners and dispatchers, built on the public API and running on iPhone, iPad and the Mac. The day's trips, the jobs coming in, quotes waiting on an answer and invoices waiting on payment — the things you used to keep a browser tab open for.
The part a web page cannot do is reach you when you are not looking at it. New trip booked, driver assigned, payment landed, quote accepted: the phone tells you, and one tap takes you straight to the job.
What shipped
A dedicated driver app that turns the secure trip link into a proper day's run sheet — jobs, navigation and one-tap status updates.
Drivers already opened a secure link for each job, and their phone already shared its location. The app makes that a home base: every trip assigned to them, in order, with pickup, drop-off, passenger and flight details, and tap-through navigation.
Status updates that used to happen behind the scenes are one tap for the driver — on my way, arrived, passenger on board, completed — keeping the office and the customer informed without a phone call.
What shipped
Watch your drivers move on a live map, and give customers a "track your ride" link on the day.
Driver location is captured whenever a driver is working a job. This surfaces it: a live map on the dispatch board showing where every active driver is, so you can answer "where's my car?" in seconds.
Customers get the same reassurance — an optional tracking link, sent before pickup, that shows the vehicle approaching without exposing anything else.
What shipped
Book a single job with several stops — a night out, a roadshow, an airport run with a hotel drop on the way.
A trip carries a chain of stops rather than a single pickup and drop-off. Add as many as the job needs, reorder them before dispatch, and the distance and price are calculated across the whole route instead of one hop.
The driver sees the stops in order on their run sheet with navigation to each, and waiting time between stops can be charged at your vehicle's own rate.
What shipped
What we are actively working towards right now.
Push new jobs and changes to drivers by text or WhatsApp the moment they're assigned — no chasing.
The plumbing for SMS, WhatsApp and Telegram already exists for customer messages. This points it at drivers: assign a job on the dispatch board and the driver gets a text with the key details and their trip link straight away.
Reassign or cancel a trip and the driver is told automatically, so the person behind the wheel always has the current plan.
What's coming
When a customer accepts a quote, the trips book themselves — no re-entering anything.
Quotes already convert to invoices on acceptance. This closes the last gap: acceptance also creates the actual trips, dated and priced, ready to dispatch — so a signed quote lands in your operations, not just your accounts.
Everything carries across: pickups, drop-offs, vehicles, passengers and flight details you captured when quoting.
What's coming
Turn the flight number you already capture into a live status, so pickups follow the plane, not the schedule.
Airport trips already record a flight number and terminal. This connects them to live flight data: the trip shows whether the flight is early, on time or delayed, and the pickup time follows automatically.
No more sending a car for a schedule time when the flight is an hour late — or missing a passenger who landed early.
What's coming
Take a deposit up front, send a secure link for the balance, and let repeat customers pay in a tap with a saved card.
The app already emails a balance payment link and takes card payments through Stripe and Revolut. This rounds it out: a configurable deposit at booking, the remainder collected before or after the trip, and the whole balance visible against the job.
Account and repeat customers can keep a card on file, so the next booking is paid without re-typing anything.
What's coming
Text your passenger their driver and vehicle details before pickup, with the live tracking link, so no one is left wondering.
Trips already generate a private "track your ride" link, and the messaging plumbing for SMS, WhatsApp and Telegram is in place. This points it at the passenger: a confirmation on booking and a reminder before pickup with the driver name, car and registration.
Fewer "which car is mine?" calls on the day, and a passenger who knows exactly who is coming.
What's coming
Committed direction — designs and groundwork are underway.
Suggested driver assignments that cut dead mileage and clashes — the board does the first pass for you.
The dispatch board shows you the day; optimisation helps you plan it. Using each trip's timing, location and vehicle needs, it proposes which driver should take which job to minimise empty running and avoid overlaps.
You stay in control — every suggestion is a drag away from being changed — but the heavy mental arithmetic of a busy day is done for you.
What's coming
Track service dates, MOT/inspection and insurance per vehicle, and stop a car being dispatched when its paperwork lapses.
Vehicles already carry capacity and pricing. This adds the compliance side: service history, next-service due, MOT/roadworthiness and insurance renewal dates for each car.
When a date is due, you're reminded — and a vehicle that's out of service or out of test can be blocked from new bookings so it never gets dispatched by mistake.
What's coming
Hold each driver's licence, PSV/PCO badge and insurance details, with reminders before they expire.
Driver records today hold contact details and vehicle clearances. This adds the documents a licensed operator has to keep on file: driving licence, private-hire/chauffeur badge, and insurance, each with an expiry date.
Expiry reminders mean a lapsed badge is caught before the driver is put on a job, keeping your operation compliant.
What's coming
Set up a standing job once — the 7am school run, a weekly staff shuttle, a daily hotel transfer — and let it repeat itself.
Some transport work is the same trip, again and again. Recurring trips let you define the route, vehicle and timing once and generate the individual jobs on a schedule, ready to assign.
Each occurrence is a normal trip underneath, so one day can be changed or cancelled without touching the rest of the contract.
What's coming
Serve corporate accounts on credit terms and bill a month of trips on one statement instead of trip by trip.
Invoices today are built per job. Account billing adds the model business customers expect: a company books all month, and you send one consolidated invoice for every completed trip at period end.
Each account can have its own terms, contacts and agreed rates, so repeat business runs on autopilot.
What's coming
A public page where customers enter pickup and drop-off, see an instant fare from your own rates, and book on the spot.
The app can already price a journey from a vehicle's base fare and per-km rates. This puts that in front of the customer: they type in the route, pick a vehicle class, get a live price, and confirm — arriving in your dispatch as a pending trip.
It runs the same fare engine you use internally, so an online booking is priced exactly as if the office had keyed it.
What's coming
Book a car and driver by the hour — weddings, roadshows, a day of meetings — instead of a single point-to-point run.
Trips today are priced from A to B. Hourly hire adds the other way operators sell: a block of hours with the driver at the customer's disposal, priced on time rather than distance, with overage handled automatically.
The driver sees it as a timed engagement on their run sheet, and the invoice reflects the hours actually used.
What's coming
The full arrivals experience — a name-board, terminal and parking details for the driver, and reassurance for the passenger.
Sitting alongside flight tracking, meet & greet handles what happens on the ground: the greeting name for the board, which terminal and arrivals door, and the meeting-point or car-park instructions the driver needs.
The passenger knows exactly where to find their driver, and the driver arrives with everything to make a clean pickup.
What's coming
Roster who is working when, so the board only ever offers jobs to drivers who are actually on shift.
Assignment today assumes you know who is around. A roster makes that explicit: each driver's working days, shift times and booked time off, feeding straight into dispatch and optimisation.
A driver who is off, on a break or already at capacity simply is not offered — fewer clashes, fewer awkward calls.
What's coming
A start-of-shift walkaround checklist from the driver app, logged against each car for your compliance records.
Alongside maintenance scheduling, this covers the daily side: the driver runs a quick defect check — tyres, lights, cleanliness, damage — before their first job, straight from their app.
A reported defect can flag the vehicle for attention or take it off the road, and every check is timestamped and kept for your records.
What's coming
Capture named passengers and counts for shuttles and group jobs, and hand the driver a clear manifest.
Trips already record a passenger count against a vehicle's capacity. Manifests add the detail bigger jobs need: named passengers, contact numbers and any per-passenger notes, checked against the vehicle you have assigned.
The driver gets a tidy list of who they are carrying — useful for corporate shuttles, event transfers and crew moves.
What's coming
A proper reports area — trips, revenue, vehicle utilisation and driver performance, all exportable.
The app already tracks trip statistics and driver journey-time performance. Reports bring it together: revenue by period and by account, which vehicles earn their keep, which routes are growing, and how each driver compares on punctuality.
Every table exports to CSV for your accountant or your own spreadsheets.
What's coming
Offer a job to a driver and let them accept or decline from their app, rolling to the next driver if it is turned down.
Rather than simply pinning a job to a driver, you can offer it. The driver gets the trip on their phone and accepts or declines, so you know it is genuinely covered before the customer is promised anything.
Declines and time-outs pass the offer to the next driver in line, keeping the board moving without a phone-around.
What's coming
Quote and invoice international clients in their own currency, while your books stay in yours.
Pricing and fees are handled in your base currency today. For operators serving corporate and inbound travel, this lets a quote and invoice be presented in the client's currency, with the exchange handled cleanly.
Your reporting stays in your home currency, so the switch is for the customer's benefit, not extra work for you.
What's coming
Set fixed prices between popular points — city to airport, town to town — that skip the per-km calculation.
Some routes you price the same every time. Fixed fares and zones let you publish a set price between two points or between areas, used automatically whenever a trip matches, instead of falling back to distance-based pricing.
Customers get a clear, competitive headline price on your best-known routes, and you get consistency.
What's coming
On the radar — we are shaping these with customer feedback. Tell us what matters.
Let the board assign routine jobs to drivers automatically by your own rules, and only surface the exceptions.
Optimisation suggests; automated dispatch acts. For the straightforward jobs, rules you set — nearest available driver, vehicle match, fairness of workload — can assign and notify a driver without you lifting a finger, leaving you to handle only the tricky ones.
What's coming
Pass a job you can't cover to a trusted partner operator, and take theirs, without losing the thread.
Every operator has days when demand outruns the fleet. This explores a way to hand an overflow trip to a partner operator you trust — with the job details, price and status shared — so the customer is covered and both businesses keep their books straight.
What's coming
Work out what each driver is owed from the trips they completed, ready for pay day.
The app already records who drove what and how long it took. This turns that into pay: a per-driver earnings view based on completed trips, with your own commission or day-rate rules, ready to export for payroll.
What's coming
Adjust rates automatically for peak times, late nights, holidays and airport surcharges.
Vehicle pricing today is a base fare plus per-km, optionally tiered by distance. This adds the other axis operators price on: time and demand — a night surcharge, a bank-holiday uplift, an airport fee — applied automatically so your quotes reflect what a job really costs to run.
What's coming
Driver and passenger apps that work where a browser cannot — offline run sheets and battery-friendly background location.
The driver experience begins as a web app on a secure per-trip link. A native driver app is the step beyond it: a run sheet that still works in a car park with no signal, and background location tracking the browser cannot match without draining the battery.
The driver app has shipped for iOS, and drivers sign in to accounts of their own. What remains here is the rest of the story: an Android build, an offline run sheet, and background location a browser cannot match. A passenger app follows the same path — book, track and pay from the home screen.
What's coming
Serve your booking page and passenger tracking from your own domain — book.yourcompany.com — with SSL handled for you.
Your brand, your address bar. Point a subdomain you own at the platform and your public booking page, quotes and "track your ride" links are all served from it, with certificates issued and renewed automatically.
What's coming
Pull live position, mileage and diagnostics straight from in-vehicle trackers, not just the driver's phone.
Live tracking today rides on the driver's phone. For operators with hardware trackers fitted, integrating telematics gives position even when a phone is off, plus odometer readings and fault codes that can feed maintenance scheduling automatically.
What's coming
A space where a company's travel bookers arrange rides for their staff on account, with approvals and cost centres.
Account billing handles how a company pays; this is how they book. A travel manager gets a portal to raise trips on behalf of colleagues, tag them to a cost centre or PO, and see everything the company has running — all against the agreed account rates.
What's coming
Pay drivers what they have earned from completed trips automatically, without a manual bank run.
Driver earnings turns completed trips into what each driver is owed. Payouts closes the loop: settle those earnings straight to the driver's bank on your schedule, using Stripe Connect, with a statement they can see.
What's coming
Let passengers request and confirm rides over WhatsApp, handled by your AI assistant and dropped into dispatch.
The platform already speaks WhatsApp and runs an AI assistant. This lets a customer simply message to book: the assistant gathers pickup, drop-off, time and passengers, quotes a fare, and creates a pending trip for you to confirm.
What's coming
Reward your regulars — points, ride credit or tiered pricing — to keep repeat and account customers coming back.
Your best customers ride again and again. A loyalty layer recognises that: earn points or credit per completed trip, unlock better rates at higher tiers, and redeem rewards against a future booking automatically.
What's coming
Record complaints, incidents and lost property against the trip, driver or vehicle they belong to.
Things happen on the road — a complaint, a bump, a bag left behind. A simple log keeps a dated record against the relevant trip, driver or car, so nothing lives only in someone's inbox and patterns are easy to spot.
What's coming
Standing profiles for your regulars — saved addresses, VIP notes and preferences — so a repeat booking takes seconds.
A customer record is already created for every booker. This turns it into a proper address book on your side: saved pickup and drop-off addresses, vehicle and driver preferences, and VIP or handling notes that pop up whenever you book them again.
What's coming
See at a glance which cars and drivers are free before you commit to a booking.
When the phone rings you need to know instantly whether you can cover it. A calendar view of each vehicle and driver — booked, free, off, in service — lets you say yes or no with confidence, and slot a new job into a real gap.
