DayRunner

Solutions: plan the day

Plan tomorrow's drivers, vehicles and pickups from your bookings

DayRunner reads tomorrow's bookings and puts a driver and a vehicle on every run. You check it, change what you like, and move on.

DayRunner plans tomorrow from your bookings. It puts a driver and a vehicle on every departure and puts the pickups in your stop order with times. You review the board, change anything you like, and the rest of the day re-plans around you.

The allocation board for tomorrow. Each departure shows its vehicle, driver, guests and the pickup run in order with times.

What it checks

Most booking systems fill the first van, then the next one. They don't know who can drive what. DayRunner checks the things you check in your head every evening:

  • Licence class and P endorsement. Nobody goes on a vehicle they can't legally drive.
  • Seats against guests. A run that won't fit gets split or flagged.
  • Availability. Days off, late starts and early finishes from your driver list.
  • Skills. A guide who knows the route goes on that tour, if one is free.
  • Vehicle features. Runs that need a wheelchair hoist, a trailer or a 4WD get a vehicle that has one.
  • Work time. Each driver's day is counted against the NZ work time rules and your own limits. See work-time rules.

On-call casuals are never rostered on their own. They only go on a run when you set them, or when you pick them as a fix.

Pickups in your order

Each run gets its pickup sequence: stop, time, guest names and numbers. Times come from the departure time and the stop order you set up for each product, so your drivers see the run the way they already drive it.

You stay in charge

Change sets one departure by hand and locks it. Re-plan and DayRunner keeps your locked runs as they are, then works the rest of the day around them. Anything it can't solve goes to one short list, Decide before the day, with options to pick from.

Questions

Can I change the plan by hand?

Yes. Change sets a departure by hand and locks it. When you re-plan, DayRunner keeps the locked run and keeps that driver and vehicle free for it.

Does it replace my booking system?

No. It reads tomorrow from Rezdy, FareHarbor, Rental Car Manager or a CSV. Bookings stay where they are.
