The problem

Arranging transport by phone

Sound familiar?

  • Every evening, puzzling out who rides with whom
  • Not knowing whether there are enough drivers
  • Vans that run overfull or half empty
  • Employees who don't know when they'll be picked up

With Hub4Flex

  • Rides from the planning, with routes and pickup times
  • Warning when drivers are short
  • Capacity per vehicle monitored
  • The ride is in the employee's app

Features

From planning to ride, without the puzzle

  • Routes and pickup times

    Order and times are calculated. You adjust by dragging stops.

  • Grouping by pickup point

    Employees with the same start time and pickup point ride together.

  • A vehicle that fits

    Hub4Flex picks a vehicle based on the number of passengers.

  • Drivers from your team

    Preferably a driver already in the ride, otherwise a regular driver.

  • Warnings

    Too few drivers, an overfull vehicle or an expiring licence.

  • In the app

    Employees see pickup point, time, vehicle and driver. Drivers see their passengers.

FAQ

Questions we often get

Can't find your question? We're happy to help.

Do I have to create every ride myself?

No. Hub4Flex suggests the day's rides from the planning. You can adjust them before publishing.

Can an employee also be a driver?

Yes. Employees with a driving licence can be assigned as driver. Regular drivers work too.

Do employees see their ride?

Yes. In the app they see pickup point, time, vehicle and driver, and get a notification when something changes.

What if there aren't enough drivers?

Then you see a warning on the ride, so you can assign a driver in time.
