DayRunner
Home / Shuttle operators

For NZ shuttle operators

Tomorrow's shuttle runs, drivers and pickup times. Sorted by 5pm.

Airport transfers, ski shuttles, track transport. Lots of pickups, tight times, and drivers on long days. DayRunner plans the runs from your bookings and drafts every pickup message for you to approve.

The 5pm job

Every evening, someone sits down with tomorrow's bookings and works it out:

  • Which driver and which van on each run, without anyone going over their hours
  • Pickup order and times across a dozen hotels
  • Every passenger needs their pickup time, the night before
  • A driver off sick before the first run
  • Keeping a work time and mileage record

In most small operators that's the owner or the ops manager, after a full day. We estimate it takes 2 hours 20 minutes to 3 hours 20 minutes a day by hand.

What DayRunner does

  • Reads tomorrow's bookings from Rezdy, FareHarbor or a CSV
  • Puts a driver and vehicle on every run by licence class, P endorsement, seats and availability
  • Counts each driver's work time for the day, pickup run included, and flags breaches of NZ work time rules
  • Sequences pickups in your stop order with times
  • Drafts every passenger's pickup message for approval
  • Logs kilometres and work time per driver

Nothing sends until you approve it.

How it works

  1. Pull tomorrow

    Your bookings come in from Rezdy, FareHarbor or Rental Car Manager. No integration? Drop in a CSV.

  2. Plan the day

    DayRunner puts drivers and vans on each run. It checks licence class, seats, hours and who's available. Pickups go in your stop order.

  3. Show what needs you

    Only the problems. Each one comes with options. Pick one and move on.

  4. Approve and send

    Guest pickup messages in your voice. Supplier reconfirmations from your own Gmail. Driver briefs. Read them, fix what you like, approve.

Quick answers

Does it check driver work time rules?

Yes. It counts each driver's work time for the day, including the pickup run, and flags anyone the plan would put over their limit under the Land Transport Rule: Work Time and Logbooks 2007, or over the maximum hours you set. It tells you which rule and gives you options.

What happens when a driver calls in sick?

Tap Report a problem, then Driver off sick, and pick the driver. DayRunner shows every run that breaks and the two best fixes within a couple of seconds. Nothing changes until you apply one. Guest messages that need to change come back as drafts for you to approve.
