The dispatch board app that runs your whole week
What is a dispatch board app?
A dispatch board app is software that replaces a paper day-book or a generic booking tool with a board built for a private-hire firm. It keeps your jobs, customers and drivers in one place, lets customers book and reschedule online around your real availability, and holds a complete record for every driver and vehicle. RideAlign is an all-in-one dispatch board app for UK operators and groups, free to try for 30 days with no card required.
What a dispatch board app does for you
RideAlign brings your whole week into one board you can run from the desk or your phone:
- A multi-driver, multi-vehicle board, colour-coded by service and clash-protected, so jobs never overlap or double-book a car.
- Online booking that lets customers book and reschedule around your genuine availability, cutting the endless phone-tag at the desk.
- Driver and vehicle records so every job updates a clear, complete record of each driver, car and their documents.
- Reminders and win-backs that bring customers back and cut no-shows.
- Compliance monitoring that watches licences, insurance and MOT to the expiry date, so nothing is re-keyed at the desk.
- A branded booking website on your own domain, plus booking enquiries from customers searching your area, included in your subscription.
Built for how a private-hire firm actually runs
Because the board understands drivers, vehicles and compliance, it does the admin a paper day-book cannot: it protects your day from double-bookings, surfaces the documents about to expire, and shows each customer's record at a glance before the car sets off. Cash, card and account jobs all sit in the same board, so the desk is never juggling two systems.
Compliance is where a good board earns its keep. Private-hire drivers and vehicles are licensed by their local authority or by Transport for London, and every badge, plate, MOT and insurance policy has an expiry date. RideAlign watches each one and reminds you before it lapses, then blocks an out-of-date driver from the board so nobody slips through the net.
Two things worth getting right early: a clear reminder and win-back routine so customers keep coming back, and online booking so new enquiries never slip through the cracks.

Thinks like an operator
A board that understands your fleet, not just bookings
A paper day-book treats every job the same. RideAlign knows a firm runs several drivers and vehicle classes at once, so it colour-codes each driver, blocks clashes before they happen, and lets you drag a job to a new time with the customer notified automatically.
- Multiple drivers and vehicle classes on one colour-coded view
- Clash protection so two customers never take the same car
- Drag to reschedule, with an instant message to the customer
Your whole week, connected
The board is the heartbeat of the operation, so everything else flows from it automatically.
