1.4 Daily/Weekly Ride Scheduler

Overview​

The Recurring Booking feature is designed to simplify the process for customers who travel frequently using the same route. Instead of scheduling rides manually every time, YelowSoft provides a seamless solution to automatically schedule and dispatch rides regularly.

🔹 What is a Recurring Booking?​

Recurring bookings allow customers to predefine regular trips (e.g., daily commutes, weekly visits) for specific days, times, and locations. Once set, the system will automatically generate and dispatch bookings to drivers on those scheduled intervals — eliminating the need for repetitive manual booking.

🔹 Example Use Case​

If a customer travels from home to office every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10:00 AM, they can create a recurring booking for that schedule. The system will automatically:

  • Generate the trip in advance
  • Assign a driver
  • Notify both driver and customer before the trip begins

This ensures consistency, convenience, and reliability without needing to rebook each ride.

🔹 Key Benefits​

  • ✅ No need to schedule bookings manually every time
  • ✅ Ensures timely trips for frequent travelers
  • ✅ Increases customer satisfaction through reliability
  • ✅ Helps admins forecast and manage ride demand efficiently

🔹 How It Works​

  1. Customer Sets Up Recurrence

    • Choose pickup & drop-off locations
    • Select days of the week (e.g., Mon, Wed, Fri)
    • Define start time for each ride
    • Set the recurrence duration (e.g., 1 month, 2 months)

  2. System Automation

    • System generates bookings based on the schedule
    • Bookings are automatically dispatched to drivers
    • Customers and drivers receive automated notifications

  3. Trip Execution

    • On the scheduled day and time, the assigned driver reaches the pickup location
    • The customer is notified and completes the trip as usual

🔹 Admin Visibility​

Admins can:

  • View all upcoming recurring bookings
  • Track ride history for each recurring schedule
  • Ensure driver assignment and availability in advance
  • Receive insights on frequent customers and peak recurring times

🔧 Optional Configurations​

  • Edit/Cancel Recurring Schedule at any time
  • Set limitations for maximum recurrence (e.g., 30 days)

Final Note​

The Recurring Booking feature is an excellent solution for both customers and companies to streamline frequent travel needs. It improves efficiency, enhances user experience, and boosts customer loyalty by offering a reliable and hands-free booking experience.
