Custom systems
Custom booking and dispatch systems for transportation operators.
Built by someone who runs a real car service, not a software company that has never driven an airport run. Online booking, instant-quote engine, dispatch, driver and rider SMS, deposit capture, and review funnels. You own it, no per-ride fees.
The problem with off-the-shelf limo and dispatch software
Most operators are stuck renting software that was not built for how they actually run. You pay a base plan, then per-booking fees, then driver-seat licenses, then SMS charges, then a support tier, and half the time you have no idea what you are actually paying per month. The interface feels like a 2009 desktop app, it is clunky on a real phone, and it barely changes year to year while the price keeps going up. When you want it to match one of your quirks, a specific airport flat rate, an odd corporate account rule, you cannot, because it is a template everyone else uses too.
- Per-booking and per-ride fees that quietly grow as you do more volume
- Driver-seat licenses, SMS charges, and support tiers stacked on top
- A dated interface that is hard to use on the phone you actually dispatch from
- One-size-fits-all rules that cannot match your pricing or your workflow
- You are renting it forever and you never own the system or your data
What we build
We build the full operation, not just a booking form. Every piece is custom to how you run and how your riders actually book. This is the same kind of system Daniel runs his own car service on, so it is built around real airport runs, hourly-as-directed, and corporate accounts, not a generic demo. We build what you need and skip what you do not, and it all lives on one clean system that works on your phone.
- Online booking and instant-quote engine with flat-rate airport logic and hourly
- Dispatch board with driver assignment and a live view of the day
- Driver and rider SMS: booking confirmations, driver dispatch texts, ETA and tracking links
- Payment, deposit, and card-on-file capture to cut no-shows and auto-bill extras
- Flight tracking and airport meet-and-greet logic
- Post-ride review funnel that sends happy riders to your Google profile
Custom-built vs off-the-shelf SaaS
The big platforms, Limo Anywhere, Yelowsoft, Moovs, Onde, rent you a seat in software everyone else uses. A custom build is yours. There is no per-ride cut, no marketplace commission, and no one who can raise your rate or hold your data hostage. You are not paying a tax on every fare you run for the rest of your business. The build is a fixed number, then it is yours to keep, extend, and run on your own terms.
- No per-ride, per-booking, or per-reservation fees, you keep 100% of every fare
- You own the code and your data, export anytime, no lock-in
- Your booking flow and pricing rules, not their template
- No marketplace commission and no seat licenses
- A real person who built it answers the phone, not a ticket queue
Modernize or replace your legacy system
Switching feels impossible, and that is usually what keeps operators paying more every year for software that has not changed. We handle the migration so it is not scary. We map how you run today, bring over your rates, accounts, and flows, and stand up the new system alongside your old one so you are never dark. When you are ready, you go live and shut the old subscription off. You stop paying per-ride fees and start running on something built for your phone in 2026, not a desktop from a decade ago.
- We map your current setup, rates, corporate accounts, and workflows first
- Your data and pricing come with you, nothing gets left behind
- We run the new system in parallel so you are never offline during the switch
- Built mobile-first, the dispatch and booking work on the phone you actually use
- Once you are live, you cancel the old subscription and stop the per-ride bleed
How we scope and price it
There is no per-ride tax and no monthly rental. A custom build is one fixed project fee, scoped to exactly what your operation needs, and then it is yours. Many operators start with a fast website and instant-quote engine, then add the dispatch and driver side as they grow. We give you one clear number up front and you approve it before any work starts.
- One fixed build fee, scoped to your operation, then you own it
- Start with a website and quote engine, add dispatch and driver comms as you grow
- Optional monthly care plan for hosting, updates, SEO, and small changes
- Clear number up front, approved before we start, no surprise invoices
Built by an operator
The same system runs a real car service.
Daniel Geiger owns and operates Continental, a live black car service in Los Angeles that dispatches Escalades every day. The booking and dispatch system behind ridecontinental.com, instant flat-rate quotes, sub-2-minute checkout, flight tracking, and driver SMS, is the same kind of system we build for you. Most software companies have never driven an airport run or waited on a delayed flight at 1am. We have.

Questions
Custom systems, answered.
Do I own the software and the code?
Yes. A custom build is yours, not rented. You own the code and your data, and you can export or move it anytime with no lock-in. Nobody can raise your rate or hold your bookings hostage. That is the core difference from renting a seat in Limo Anywhere or Moovs, where you pay forever and own nothing.
Can you migrate me off Limo Anywhere or another platform?
Yes. We map how you run today, bring over your rates, corporate accounts, and workflows, and stand the new system up alongside your old one so you are never offline during the switch. When you are ready you go live and cancel the old subscription. The goal is to make switching feel doable instead of impossible.
How is a custom system different from Limo Anywhere or Yelowsoft?
Those platforms rent you a seat in software everyone else uses, with per-booking fees, seat licenses, and a template you cannot fully bend to your operation. A custom build is yours: your booking flow, your pricing rules, no per-ride cut, and no marketplace commission. You keep 100% of every fare and you own the system outright.
How much does a custom booking and dispatch system cost?
It is one fixed build fee, not a monthly rental with per-ride fees. We scope it on a call once we see how you run, then give you one clear number up front that you approve before any work starts. No per-booking tax, ever. Many operators start with a website and quote engine and add dispatch later.
Can it handle flat-rate airport quotes, hourly, and corporate accounts?
Yes. The instant-quote engine handles flat-rate airport pricing, hourly-as-directed, and point-to-point, and we build corporate accounts with their own rates and rules. This is the same kind of logic that runs Continental, so it is built around real airport runs and account billing, not a generic template.
Do you build the driver and dispatch side too, or just booking?
Both. We build the dispatch board and driver assignment, plus driver SMS for dispatch and rider SMS for confirmations, ETAs, and tracking links. Many operators start with a website and booking engine, then add the dispatch and driver side as they grow. You can build the whole operation in stages.
Does it integrate with Stripe and handle deposits?
Yes. We build payment, deposit, and card-on-file capture on Stripe, so you can collect a deposit at checkout to cut no-shows and auto-bill extras like wait time or extra stops with an itemized receipt. It is the same card-on-file billing approach that runs behind Continental.
How long does it take to build?
A website and instant-quote engine can go live in a couple of weeks. A full custom booking and dispatch system takes longer and depends on how many modules you need, dispatch, driver comms, deposits, flight tracking, and how your pricing works. We scope the timeline with you on the first call so you know what to expect before we start.
