DayRunner

Solutions: when the day changes

When the day changes, see what breaks and the best fixes in seconds

Tap Report a problem and say what's gone wrong. DayRunner shows every run it touches and up to three ranked fixes. Nothing changes until you apply one.

Plans change. A driver rings in crook, a van won't start, a family doesn't show, four walk-ins turn up, or a flight lands late. In DayRunner you tap Report a problem on the Day page and pick what's gone wrong. In seconds you see what it breaks and the best ways to fix it.

A guest 10 minutes late for the 08:30 Glenorchy Half Day. Best fix is to pick them up last at 08:05. Option 2 holds the run 10 minutes.

Five kinds of problem

  • Driver off sick. Pick the driver. See Driver off sick.
  • Vehicle off the road. Pick the vehicle. It finds another one with the seats and features the run needs.
  • Guest no-show or late cancellation. Tick the bookings. It shows the seats freed and whether the run now fits on one vehicle.
  • Extra guests. Walk-ins, or more guests than seats. It offers a bigger vehicle, a second vehicle and driver, or moving a party to another departure.
  • Late arrival. A flight or ferry running late. Type how many minutes. It offers picking them up last, holding the run, a separate pickup or a later departure.

Up to three fixes, ranked

Each fix leads with what it means for your day, like "Covers the 06:45 Milford, no new problems, guest messages unchanged". Fixes that leave other runs short rank lower and say so. Fixes that need someone to agree, like a guest moving departure, ask you to check first.

Every fix goes through the same checks as the plan: seats, licence class, vehicle needs and NZ work time.

Apply in one tap

Apply makes the change, locks the runs and re-plans the day. Guest messages that change come back as drafts. You approve them as usual.

Questions

Does applying a fix message my guests?

No. Guest messages that change come back as drafts for you to approve. Nothing is sent.

Does it know when a flight is late?

Not yet. You type in how many minutes late the guest is. A live flight status feed is on the roadmap.

Will the fix stick if my booking system syncs again?

Hand changes to runs are kept. A moved booking or a held departure time should also be changed in your booking system, or the next sync can put it back.
