Forget it printouts and emails with old-fashioned driving orders
The PDS booking system gives you full control, whether it concerns places on registration trips or free capacity of vehicles and drivers. PDS has been developed in collaboration with experienced tour operators and transporters who organize and/or drive trips for people or transport goods.
PDS is a cloud-based solution. This means that you can land in to the portal from a PC, tablet or smartphone. All you need is access to the internet. You can choose between English and Norwegian.
Automatic alerts. Assignments can be registered directly by the booking officer in the portal or via an online form. After each received order, the customer receives a copy of their request by e-mail, and you receive a notice of a request for an assignment.
Simple driving orders. In their assignments, drivers receive map addresses of the meeting place and driving route so that they can easily see on the map where the customer is to be picked up and driven. They can still download the driving order and print it out if they wish. After the assignment, they can also post-register times, kilometres, tolls, pax etc. in the portal.
Time registration. PDS automatically calculates the hours used for each journey and for each driver. In addition, drivers can of course record manual hours such as washing buses or other service-related tasks. That way you get a good overview of all the hours you invoice for and good control over the hours used by drivers.
Separate page for drivers. PDS comes with a separate login for drivers. There, they can easily see, accept or cancel assignments you have sent them. They receive notification of a possible assignment immediately after a booking manager has placed them on an assignment. If they need additional documentation for the assignment, it can be uploaded to the portal, and it will automatically be available to the driver.
The PDS booking system gives you an overview of:
- Booked and available drivers
- Available vehicles
- Map of routes and time use
- Dispatched and approved assignments
- Customer's invoice
Further development. PDS is under continuous development and new functions will be added. This means that with PDS you get a service that gives you up-to-date technology and the opportunity to add extra functions.
This is how you get started with the PDS Booking system
-
1. Enter data
For the PDS to function optimally, it is necessary to enter data. By entering the employees who will have access to the system, the drivers who drive the trips, the vehicles used and the customers who are billed, the system is ready for use.
-
2. Create tours and offers
Once the data is entered, you can start generating offers. By entering data such as the number of km, people and itinerary, you will receive an offer. Once this has been approved by the customer, PDS will easily allow you to assign an available driver and vehicle.
-
3. Invoices customer
When you want to invoice the customer, the trip is set ready for invoicing in the system. Invoicing is done either via EHF, e-mail or post. Integrations with both the Brønnøysund register and ELMA simplify this process.

A system for both the office and drivers
Running a booking is demanding enough. We have therefore created a booking system that will streamline and simplify your everyday life - regardless of whether you drive or are the one making the booking. Here are some of the benefits you can feel.
-
Full overview on your portal
A portal that is easy to use and gives you a good overview of available vehicles and drivers, your journeys, posted offers and invoices. In the portal, you have a full overview at all times, and since both the office and drivers have access to their journeys, communication will be more efficient. The chance of mistakes or misunderstandings is almost completely removed - and you are left with satisfied customers on the other side! -
A planning assistant
Plan your routes down to the minute. The portal helps with attendance times, breaks and notifications to drivers and customers. Since drivers have their own page where they can see and approve the assignments sent by the office, ownership of the trip will also increase. The office can then follow the trip live. For the customers, it goes seamlessly. -
Send offers and invoices easily
Through the portal, you can quickly set up and send professional offers to anyone. The system prepares invoices after the end of the trip and shows you the status of payments. The portal is set up to create simple invoices based on the trips you have made, so that the customer understands what applies immediately. That means less administrative work for you! -
Access wherever you are
Regardless of your device or where you are in Norway, as long as you have internet, you have access to the portal. Drivers and the office can update each other on the route all the way without picking up the phone and calling. Then you have a good overview and control at all times so that the customers can just enjoy the trip and look forward to their destination. -
Adjust the system for full control
The system allows you to easily enter your drivers and means of transport, set up alerts, templates and workflows for your company. Thanks to the simplicity and access for all parties, efficiency can increase for the office. Perhaps you can find time for other exciting tasks in the business?
