Transportation Software & Apps | Handwerk Studio

Custom transportation software
for fleet & passenger operations

Bookings come in by phone. Schedules live in someone's head. Drivers and dispatch play phone tag all day. We build the transport booking systems, dispatch tools, and driver apps that bring it all together.

The problems we solve for
transport companies

📞

Phone-based bookings

Every trip starts with a phone call or email. Your office staff manually enters details, checks availability, and confirms back. It's slow, error-prone, and doesn't scale.

📋

Scheduling blind spots

Your dispatch team can't see the full picture. Which drivers are available? Which vehicles need maintenance? Who's double-booked? The answers are in three different places.

🔌

Disconnected systems

Booking is one system. Scheduling is another. Invoicing is a third. Nothing talks to each other, so your team spends hours re-entering the same data across platforms.

How BellTransport unified
booking and operations

BellTransport was managing trip bookings by phone and scheduling across multiple teams manually. We built web and mobile apps that gave customers online booking and staff a unified operations platform.

“The web and mobile apps gave us one flow for booking, scheduling, and operations. It reduced back-and-forth and made daily planning much easier for our team.”

Transportation software FAQ

Do you build mobile apps for drivers?

Yes. We build mobile-optimised web apps that work on any phone without needing an app store download. Drivers can view their schedule, update trip status, and communicate with dispatch from their device.

Can passengers book online?

Absolutely. We build online booking systems where passengers can select routes, choose times, enter passenger details, and pay securely. The booking flows straight into your dispatch system with no manual re-entry.

How do you handle scheduling and dispatch?

We build scheduling tools that show your entire fleet availability, assigned trips, and driver schedules in one view. Dispatchers can drag and drop to reassign, and drivers see updates instantly on their phone.

Can you integrate with our existing systems?

We integrate with payment gateways, accounting software, GPS providers, and most transport management systems. During discovery, we map out what you are currently using and build the connections you need.

What does a transport booking platform cost?

A web-based booking and dispatch platform typically starts from $5,000-8,000. Adding driver mobile apps, reporting dashboards, and vehicle management usually brings it to $10,000-15,000. Fixed quote, no surprises.
