For tour operators

Dispatch software for tour operators.

A family messages you on Tuesday about Saturday. FleetDesk carries it the whole way: the quote, the deposit, the van, the driver, the run sheet in your driver's hand and the ticket in your guest's. One flat monthly fee, and no cut of the booking.

Start free for 14 days. No card, no call.

  • No card
  • No sales call
  • No setup fee
  • No commission on your bookings

Who it is for

Software that has heard of a tour.

Most dispatch software is written for chauffeurs, limos and airport transfers: a known trip from A to B at a known price. Tour work is a conversation first, and it has a catalog, a route with stops, a guide and a seat count. FleetDesk is built around that, so your own tours are in it under your own names.

  • Private day tours
  • Sightseeing tours
  • Wine & food tours
  • Charter & group hire
  • Multi-stop itineraries
  • Airport transfers and tours
  • Custom group tours
  • Corporate day trips

If you also run straight transfers or a shuttle run alongside the tours, those fit too. It is the other way round that does not work.

What it costs

A percentage takes a cut of every job. A flat fee does not.

Per-booking platforms publish around 6%. On a $650 charter that is $39, every time, forever. FleetDesk is one flat monthly fee. Set your own average and your own volume below, and it will tell you where your line falls, including the sizes where a percentage wins.

Your numbers

$650

What a typical job invoices at, before any extras.

25

In a normal month, not your best one.

Your plan

Starter covers 2 vehicles and 1 user. Every feature is on both plans.

What that means

You keep

$876

a month, and $10,512 a year, at 25 bookings of $650.

A 6% platform, at $39.00 a booking
$975/mo
FleetDesk Starter, flat
$99/mo
Your $99 is covered by your third booking of the month. Nothing you run after it costs you a cent more.

6% is the commonly published checkout fee on the per-booking platforms: FareHarbor, Peek Pro, Rezdy, Checkfront. Rates and who pays them vary by plan and by country, so check your own contract. FleetDesk takes no percentage of anything, which is the only figure here we can promise.

  • No setup fee

    Nothing to pay before you start, and nothing to pay to be switched on. Onboarding fees of a few hundred dollars are normal in this category. There is not one here.

  • No per-driver, per-module billing

    One price for the whole product. Drivers are free and unlimited on every plan, and there are no add-ons to unlock: what the plan limits is vehicles and user logins, and that is the entire list.

  • No cut of your payments

    There is no percentage anywhere, and no mechanism for one: FleetDesk does not sit in your checkout, so there is nothing for it to take a slice of.

  • The price you sign at is the price you renew at

    No automatic annual uplift, and no quiet migration onto a dearer plan. If the list price ever changes, it changes for new customers first and we tell you before it reaches you.

The product

This is the whole thing.

Not a mock-up and not a roadmap. Three screens you would be in every day, at the size you would actually work in them.

The day, on one screen

Every run, its vehicle, its driver, its seat load and what is still owed. Work with no vehicle under it sits at the top in amber until it has one.

FleetDesk's Today screen on a phone: the day's runs and what needs attention — unquoted enquiries, groups with no vehicle, balances still outstanding — each in its own card with a one-tap action.

Every booking, in a real table

Sortable columns, figures that line up, and the whole width of your monitor. Not a phone screen stretched sideways.

The FleetDesk bookings list on a phone: customer, party size, date, status and balance due stacked per card, grouped by day.

What the month has actually done

Revenue, deposits held, balance still outstanding and what the trips cost you to run. A plain ledger, and no tax engine pretending to know your country.

FleetDesk's Money screen on a phone: revenue, deposits taken, balance outstanding and expenses in stacked cards, with each customer's balance due listed below.

The operator in these screens, Horizon Tours, is invented, and so are its customers and its trips. We have no real one to show you yet and would rather say that than let you assume otherwise.

What your customer sees

Three pages with your name on them, not ours.

The quote, the driver's run sheet and the guest's ticket are the parts of your operation your customers actually judge. They open on a phone, they carry your name, your logo and your colour, and FleetDesk appears on them once, in small print, at the bottom.

A quote page on a phone, carrying the operator’s own name and colours: the trip, the date, the pickup, the party size, what is and is not included, the total, and a single "Accept this quote" button. FleetDesk is not named anywhere on it.

The quote

The trip, the date, the pickup, what is and is not included, the price and the deposit. One button. When they press it the booking is confirmed and your payment instructions appear.

A driver's run sheet on a phone: the vehicle, the day's pickups in order with times and addresses, party sizes and the notes for each group.

The run sheet

A link your driver opens on their phone. Pickups in order, times, addresses, party sizes and the notes. No app to install and no password to reset at 6am.

A guest's ticket page on a phone, in the operator's branding: what they booked, when and where to be picked up, and who to call.

The ticket

What the guest booked, when and where to be, and who to call. It is the last thing they look at before they meet you, and it costs you nothing to send.

What is in it

Twelve features, and every plan has all of them.

Enough to run a full trading week end to end: the enquiry that lands on Tuesday, the quote that goes out the same hour, the deposit, the vehicle, the driver, the guest, and what the month actually earned. Nothing here is held back for a dearer tier and nothing is a roadmap item.

Questions

Including the awkward ones.

If an answer here would put you off, it is better that it does it now.

Do you take a cut of my bookings?
No. FleetDesk charges a flat monthly subscription and nothing else. It does not process your payments, so there is no checkout for us to add a percentage to. Your customer accepts the quote and pays you the way they already pay you.
So it does not take payments at all?
Correct. Your customer pays you directly, by transfer, card machine or your own payment link, and the money lands with you in full on your own timing. What FleetDesk does is keep the score: your payment instructions go on the quote and the ticket, the deposit and the balance are tracked against the booking, and the customer gets an email before the trip with whatever is still owed. Chasing money is the part that actually eats your week, and that is the part it takes off you.
I sell fixed seats on a public schedule. Is this for me?
Probably not, and it is cheaper for both of us to say so now. FleetDesk has no public booking widget and no per-seat availability. It is built for the enquiry, the quote, the deposit and the day. If strangers buy single seats on your website, a checkout-first platform fits you better.
How many customers do you have?
None paying yet. FleetDesk was built to run one working tour company’s days and is only now being sold to anyone else, so there are no testimonials on this site and no logo wall, because there is nothing honest to put in one. The trial is free and needs no card, which is the only proof we can currently offer that is worth anything.
What happens after the trial?
14 days, no card taken up front, and nothing is deleted if you do not continue. Pick a plan when you want to keep going. Cancel whenever, and export your data on the way out.
Can I move my existing bookings across?
On the Fleet plan a person does it with you. On Starter and Pro you enter your tours, vehicles and drivers yourself, which takes an evening, and most operators start by putting next month in rather than the last five years.
