Web Dispatch Software for Small Limo & Chauffeur Operators — Control Your System at Your Fingertips
By Limozoft Editorial · Reviewed by Limozoft operator research team.

What is web dispatch software?
Web dispatch software runs entirely in the browser. There is no desktop client to install on the office PC, no local database to back up, no VPN to reach the system from home, and no version that only one machine can open. Every dispatcher, owner and driver works against the same live data.
For small operators this is the difference between a business that only runs when someone is sitting in the office and one that runs wherever you are. The dispatch board, the reservation form, the rate rules and the invoicing all load from a URL and stay in sync.
- Drag-and-drop dispatch board with conflict detection.
- Reservations from phone, email, your website widget or a corporate portal - all in one queue.
- Live vehicle and driver status on one operations map.
- Native iOS + Android chauffeur app that talks to the same board.
- Corporate accounts with PO numbers, cost centres and monthly consolidated invoices.
Why small operators outgrow spreadsheets and WhatsApp first
Almost every 1-10 vehicle operator starts on a shared spreadsheet, a WhatsApp group and a phone. It works until two things collide: a same-day change and a driver who did not see the message. The cost is not the software - it is the missed airport pickup and the corporate client who does not call back.
A web dispatch console removes the message-relay step. The job changes on the board, the driver's app updates, the passenger gets an automatic SMS or email, and there is a timestamped record if anyone disputes what happened.
Control at your fingertips - what that looks like on a real shift
A single owner-operator running five cars should be able to open the board on a phone, see which of the five is running late against its next pickup, reassign one job, and have the affected passenger notified - in under a minute, standing in a car park.
That is the practical test for any dispatch tool at this fleet size. If it takes a desktop, a VPN and a support ticket, it is not built for you.
- Reassign a job in two taps and the driver app updates instantly.
- See flight status against airport pickups without leaving the board.
- Take a card or send a payment link from the reservation itself.
- Send the corporate invoice batch at month end without exporting to a spreadsheet.
What does web dispatch software cost for a small fleet?
Legacy suites quote a base plan and then bill the driver app, the booking widget, extra dispatcher seats and corporate billing as separate line items, which is how a $99 sticker becomes a $500-plus monthly bill at five vehicles.
Limozoft is deliberately structured the other way round: a one-time $399 setup covers the complete web application - dispatch console, booking widget on your own site, chauffeur app, your branding, data migration and onboarding - and then hosting, updates and support are $10/month for 1-5 vehicles, $20/month for 6-15 and $30/month for fleets up to 50. No per-driver seat fee, no per-booking fee.
How do I move off my current system without losing a week?
Export customers, corporate accounts and future reservations as CSV, hand them to onboarding, and run both systems in parallel for a few days while new bookings land in the new console. Most 1-15 vehicle migrations finish inside the same week.
The two things worth doing properly are rate rules and driver onboarding - get the airport, hourly and point-to-point pricing right on day one, and get your drivers into the app before you switch the board over.

Small operators recover the setup fee inside the first month
A single recovered airport no-show or one retained corporate account typically covers the one-time $399 setup, before counting the dispatcher hours saved on manual confirmations and month-end invoicing.
