Fleet Management Software

How Does 8Move Help?

Each vehicle is entered once with its class, seat and luggage capacity, and accessibility equipment — ramp type, medical mounts, hearing loop — so the booking portal only ever offers a car that can actually take the job. Assignment runs in four modes: manual, where a dispatcher picks from the available pool; automatic, matching vehicle class, capacity, accessibility, driver availability, and schedule conflicts; dedicated, for a vehicle permanently tied to one route or account; and pool rotation, cycling bookings across vehicles to balance mileage. Each driver's profile carries their licence category, passenger transport permit, and any wheelchair or first-aid certification next to the vehicle they're paired with, so a booking that needs a qualified driver is only ever offered one. Routing delivery trucks instead of passengers is a different job — that's what Fleet Planner is for.

Overview

A transfer or chauffeur fleet is a list of specific vehicles, not a headcount. A dispatcher assigning a booking needs to know, for that one car, whether it has a wheelchair ramp, enough boot space for six suitcases, or an ISOFIX point for a child seat — not just whether something is free.

Most fleets this size run the list in a spreadsheet. It works until the list has to answer something in real time: whether a specific van has a ramp, whether a car can take six people with luggage, or which driver actually holds the right certification.

What Challenges Does This Industry Face?

These are the day-to-day problems 8Move is built to solve for teams in this industry.

A spreadsheet records that a vehicle exists, not what it can actually do — capacity, accessibility equipment, or which class it belongs to only comes up when someone remembers to check.
Assigning by availability alone can send a sedan to a party of six with luggage, or a van without a ramp to a passenger who needs one.
A driver's certifications — wheelchair training, first aid, passenger transport permit — sit in a filing drawer, not next to the booking that actually requires them.
Spreading bookings evenly across the fleet to balance mileage and wear has to be done by memory, since nothing tracks which vehicle has been driving the most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about how 8Move serves the fleet management software industry.

No. Fleet Planner is 8Move's FMCG delivery-route product, for trucks moving stock between warehouses and retailers. This is Transfer Booking's own fleet management, for cars and drivers serving passenger bookings.

Yes. Assignment runs in manual or automatic mode, and a dispatcher can always reassign a booking to a specific vehicle or driver from the available pool.

Each vehicle is tagged with its accessibility equipment — ramp type, medical mounts, hearing loop — so auto-assignment only offers it for a booking that actually needs those.

Both. A vehicle can stay in the shared pool for auto-assignment, or be set as dedicated to a specific route or corporate account.

Yes. Each driver's profile carries tags like wheelchair-trained, NEMT-qualified, or VIP-certified, so a booking that needs one of those is matched to someone who actually holds it, not just whoever is free.
