A shared shuttle route is a sequencing problem: eight pickups, one airport, a fixed check-in deadline and traffic that changes every hour. Shuttle.Software orders the stops for you, works backwards from the drop-off deadline to set each pickup time, and warns you when a booking cannot physically fit the run. It suggests pooling when two bookings share a corridor and a time window, so a second van stays parked. Traffic-aware ETAs update the sequence during the run, and the driver app plus passenger SMS follow the new times automatically. Every run is scored afterwards on distance, time and load factor, so you can see exactly which routes are profitable.

Everything included

Features built for this operation

Automatic stop sequencing

Pickups ordered for the shortest realistic route, respecting the drop-off deadline.

Backwards timing

Pickup windows calculated from the flight or check-in time, not guessed by a dispatcher.

Traffic-aware ETAs

Live traffic reshapes the sequence mid-run and updates driver and passenger automatically.

Pooling suggestions

Compatible bookings on the same corridor and window are proposed as one run before you assign a second vehicle.

Infeasible-run warnings

Flags the booking that cannot fit before you accept it, instead of after the driver is late.

Zone & corridor rules

Define serviceable zones, detour limits and maximum ride-time uplift per passenger.

Deadhead reporting

Empty miles per run and per driver, so repositioning waste becomes visible and fixable.

Run profitability score

Distance, duration, load factor and revenue per run scored automatically after completion.

How it works

From booking to drop-off in four steps

01

Bookings arrive

Each with a pickup address, party size and a hard arrival or departure time.

02

System sequences

Stops ordered and timed backwards from the deadline, with pooling suggested where it fits.

03

Dispatch confirms

Accept the suggestion or override it β€” the manifest and passenger times update either way.

04

Run is scored

Actual distance, time, deadhead and load factor recorded against the plan.

Benefits

What changes in week one

Lower fuel and hours per fare

Better sequencing and pooling cut the empty miles that quietly erase shuttle margin.

βœ“ Live in 3–5 working days

Fewer missed flights

Backwards timing from the check-in deadline is more reliable than a dispatcher's mental buffer.

βœ“ Live in 3–5 working days

More jobs per vehicle

Pooling compatible bookings means the second van stays parked and the first one earns more.

βœ“ Live in 3–5 working days

Evidence for pricing

Run scoring shows which routes and zones actually pay, so you can reprice or drop the ones that do not.

Frequently asked questions

Can dispatch override the suggested route?

Always. The optimizer proposes a sequence; a dispatcher can reorder, split or reassign it, and passenger times update automatically.

How are pickup times calculated?

Backwards from the drop-off deadline using distance, live traffic and your configured buffers per stop, airport and vehicle type.

Does it work for fixed scheduled routes too?

Yes. Fixed loops keep their published departure times while the optimizer sequences the on-demand stops between them.

What stops an unrealistic booking being accepted?

The system flags any booking that cannot fit the run's time or capacity before you confirm it, with the reason shown.

Is route optimization an add-on?

No. It is included in the flat $99/month plan with 0% commission, alongside dispatch, the driver app and booking.
