Automated limo dispatching software in Australia.

Most Australian chauffeur operators still dispatch by phone call and group chat. Automation doesn't replace your dispatcher — it removes the 40 small decisions a day that don't need a human.
Short answer: Automated dispatch assigns jobs by rule — vehicle class, driver availability, location, existing bookings — then pushes them to the driver app and notifies the passenger. On Limozoft it's included in the flat AUD 149–529/mo equivalent plan, month-to-month, live in 5–10 business days.

The four automation rules worth setting up first

1. Vehicle class and capacity matching

Sedan, people mover, stretch or coach — the rule reads the booking's passenger and luggage count and only offers the job to vehicles that physically fit. This alone kills the most expensive dispatch error there is: sending the wrong car to an airport pick-up.

2. Availability and shift awareness

Jobs are only offered to chauffeurs who are on shift, not already on a conflicting run, and inside their allowed hours. Conflict detection runs before the offer, not after the complaint.

3. Proximity and dead-running

For same-day and as-directed work, the board weighs current position and the previous drop-off so you're not paying for a chauffeur to cross Sydney empty when someone else is five minutes away.

4. Flight-aware airport rules

Flight tracking across SYD, MEL (Tullamarine and Avalon), BNE, PER, ADL and CBR moves the pick-up time when the arrival moves, updates the pick-up point when a flight is re-gated, and tells the chauffeur and the passenger without a dispatcher touching it. Full workflow on the airport transfer page.

What to keep manual

  • VIP and repeat corporate clients with a preferred chauffeur — pin them instead of automating them.
  • Weddings and multi-vehicle events, where sequencing matters more than efficiency.
  • Anything where the client has been let down before. That job gets a human.

Automated limo dispatch (Australia) — FAQ

What is automated limo dispatching software?+
Automated limo dispatching software assigns jobs to chauffeurs by rule instead of by phone call: it checks vehicle class, driver availability, licence and shift status, current location and existing bookings, then offers or auto-assigns the job and pushes it to the driver app. The dispatcher only touches the exceptions.
Does automated dispatch work for a small Australian fleet?+
Yes, and it matters more at small scale, because a 6-vehicle operator usually has one dispatcher who is also answering the phone and doing the invoicing. Auto-assignment, conflict detection and automatic passenger notifications remove most of the manual coordination on a normal day.
How does auto-assignment handle airport delays?+
Flight tracking watches the arrival across SYD, MEL, BNE, PER, ADL and CBR; when a flight moves, the job's pick-up time shifts, the chauffeur gets the updated time and pick-up point in the driver app, and the passenger gets a notification — with no dispatcher intervention.
Can dispatchers override the automation?+
Always. Auto-assignment is a default, not a lock: any dispatcher can reassign, split or hold a job from the board, and the audit trail records who changed what and when.
What does it cost in Australia?+
Limozoft is flat — AUD 149–529/mo equivalent depending on fleet size — with the dispatch console, automation rules, native driver app, booking widget and corporate PO billing all included. No per-driver seat fee and no annual contract.
