Chauffeur dispatch updates with driver allocation

Platform Snapshot  ·  May 2025

What we’ve been up to as we move into summer

This is just a snapshot. Behind the scenes, development never stops and every week brings refinements, improvements, and new capabilities quietly making their way into the platform.

We build because you push us to. CDS is not a static product. It is a living platform, shaped by the ambitions of the companies who use it every day. Our development cycle runs continuously, turning feedback into features, friction into flow, and ideas into tools that make a real difference on the ground. This month that included significant advances in chauffeur dispatch software driver allocation — from bulk assignments to real-time availability mapping — alongside a range of other refinements across the platform. What you see here is a glimpse of what we were up to in May. There is always more in progress, and more still on the horizon. We are proud of the pace, and we are not slowing down.
01

Operations

Bulk driver allocation

One of the most requested improvements to our chauffeur dispatch software driver allocation workflow — you can now assign a driver to multiple hires in a single action. Select the hires you need via checkboxes, click any driver column in the selection, and confirm your intent. The platform applies the assignment across all selected hires simultaneously, eliminating the repetition that slows high-volume dispatch.

02

Client Management

Last portal login visibility

The Bookers list now surfaces the precise date and time each booker last accessed your client portal. If a booker reports they cannot see their bookings, you can resolve the matter in seconds and confirm whether they have ever logged in at all. It happens more than you might expect.

03

Real-Time Dispatch

Driver availability on the map

The Map screen now displays every driver who has marked themselves available in the driver app, including how long they are free for and their last known location. A powerful addition to our chauffeur dispatch software driver allocation tools — click any driver to see upcoming hires, then click a hire to assign them directly. Built for short-notice decisions. Users can search ‘Driver Availability’ in the Knowledge Base for the full explanation.

“The platform handles the process, but your people own the relationship. That combination done well is what separates the best from the rest.”

04

Driver Intelligence

Preferences at a glance

The Chauffeurs screen now carries five new columns: Client Likes, Client Dislikes, Passenger Likes, Passenger Dislikes, and an overall Score. Sort and filter on any of these to surface your strongest client-driver relationships and quietly sidestep the unsuitable ones. The data has always been there, now it is surfaced where it matters.

05

Workflow

Validation directly in the diary

Validation no longer requires opening a hire or navigating to the Pie. Add the V column to your diary view, click the icon, and the hire is validated, or un-validated, in place. Fewer interruptions to your flow.

06

Configuration

Auto text capacity expanded

The Auto text field has grown from 128 characters to 2,048 — a sixteen-fold increase. If you have ever found yourself constrained by that limit, the space is now yours. For more information, our users can search ‘Auto text’ in the Knowledge Base.

Always building — always improving
