Purpose-built dispatch and mobile for NEMT.
DriveBoss ships a complete dispatch suite with two dedicated mobile apps — one for drivers, one for supervisors — and in-app communications that eliminate the need for Slack, WhatsApp, or radio apps on the side.

Scheduling
- Visual Time Planner — each Vehicle-Driver Route on its own timeline, color-coded by trip state, break time, and transfer legs.
- Multiple scheduling algorithms — cost-aware optimization with driver rate, vehicle run cost, fuel economy, and gas price as tunable inputs. Routes built to maximize profit per trip, not just minimize distance.
- Smart Will-Call insertion — add a last-minute trip and the algorithm picks the right vehicle and driver to execute it.
- DriveBossIQ — voice & chat commands — say or type "take the trips going to Ashburn before 9 a.m. and assign them to Driver A" and it's done. Filters, lookups, and "what's the best driver for this will-call?" too. See DriveBossIQ →
- Standing orders + special-address tagging — methadone clinics, dialysis, nursing homes, mental health facilities. Standing orders auto-populate and get priority placement.
- LOS compliance enforced at assignment — system blocks WCH-to-AMB mismatches. Override requires explicit dispatcher force and is audit-logged.
- Rider management — regular rider profiles with alternative addresses, blocked-rider list that auto-flags for reroute back to broker.
Driver App
- Native iOS + Android on phone or tablet. Offline-capable after initial sync.
- Geo-fence auto-triggers — arrival at pickup, signature capture moment, and trip end fire automatically as the driver enters/exits geo-fences. Reduces driver taps and timestamp fraud.
- In-app comms with dispatcher — text and voice/audio messaging built into the app. No Slack, WhatsApp, or Zello needed.
- One-click passenger dial, next-day schedule preview, hide-finished-routes, built-in navigation launch.
- Signature capture with signor-type tagging (Self / Facility / Parent-Guardian / UTS) — eliminates ambiguity at billing and audit time.
- Triple-redundant data pipeline — offline events are not lost. Daily backup file preserves major events. Dispatcher-side restore if a trip ever goes missing.
Supervisor App
- Separate lightweight app for field supervisors on phone or tablet. Assign, unassign, and reassign trips without a desk.
- Designed for the reality of large-operation yards, lunch rushes, and supervisor ride-alongs.
- Same backend as the driver app. Different role, different UI.
- Supervisors get their own app — no borrowing a driver’s login, no running dispatch from a laptop in the yard.
Communications
Passenger SMS, the phone line, and the Passenger App are part of the Rider Engagement add-on (from $79/mo, free with BillBoss Managed Billing).
- Dispatcher-initiated SMS to passengers for trip confirmation and cancellation.
- Automated 15-minutes-away notification fires as the driver approaches pickup.
- IVR line for passengers to dial in and look up their driver’s current ETA — no app required.
- Passenger App — a browser link from your referral code; riders book private rides that land in your dispatch, see the trips you've scheduled for them, and track the driver live. What riders get →
- Click-to-track passenger view — within 15 minutes of pickup, the passenger SMS includes a tracking link that opens a web view showing live location, route, and ETA. No install, no account.
