Used daily in 26 depots across Australia ranging from 12 vehicles to 110 vehicles, TaxiCab Manager’s unique features save time and money and cuts your workload.
DRIVER ENTRY SYSTEM
Our easy-to-use driver entry system can be used by drivers from all age groups - even those with no prior computer experience. Large on-screen buttons and text-entry areas make data entry simple - if a driver can operate a taxi meter, they can use TaxiCab Manager. Using our system means that drivers are responsible for entering their own data - they cannot accuse you of entering incorrect data. A simple point and click interface allows drivers to record faults with their vehicle at the end of their shift - this fault report is then accessed by the workshop as a list, as well as being visible when a job-card is raised for that vehicle.
Drivers can be set as commission, or as set-payin (lease). Commissions can be fixed, or variable according to total take, day of the week, vehicle type and shift type. Commissions can also vary according to cut-off amounts - below a certain take, the % commission is one amount, above the cut-off, the commission is a different amount. You can even pay drivers according to a set rate per kilometer (mile).
ROSTERING
Easily allocate drivers to blank rostered shifts. In the driver profile, set regular vehicles and shifts - when the roster day is created, regular drivers are automatically slotted into these shifts. Rostered shifts can be linked together for any combination of set-pay (lease) - the driver then only has the pay-in shift to enter. Instantly see which rostered shifts have not been paid in - you determine the colour that signifies paid and unpaid shifts.
VEHICLE GROUPS
Vehicles can be allocated to groups, which you define. Examples are: city and rural; owned and managed; sedan and bus. You are then able to extract comparative reports by each group. There is no limit to the number of groups you can enter.
BAR-CODE WORKSHOP JOB ENTRY
The bar-code workshop system makes entering workshop jobs and adding parts to job-cards a simple bar-code scanning operation. Workshop staff log on and off the jobs they are working on which allows you to keep an exact track of your labour charges. Private vehicle jobs are easily entered and controlled. No more trying to decipher mechanic’s scrawls, no more missed items on invoices - invoices are immediately updated.
EASY-TO-USE INTERFACE
An intuitive and consistent interface gets staff up to speed quickly and minimises training time.
COMPREHENSIVE REPORTING
Over 150 reports in TaxiCab Manager allow you to easily and quickly view your data. Reports can be viewed by date range, day of the week, account name, batch number, car number, driver name, group, shift type or voucher type. Additionally, print reports to screen, paper, PDF or Excel.
