All the features you need – and none you don’t

Developed by CT operators, for CT operators, CATSS transport scheduling software is designed to complement the way you already operate.

You don’t change anything for us, we simply set up our software to work for your organisation, vehicle types and the range of journeys you make. So as well as avoiding upheaval and inconvenience, you can be certain that your system won’t be loaded with anything you’ll never use.

Individual, group or timetabled journeys

Whether your journeys are individual (eg Dial a Ride), multi-destination or even regular timetabled, our software features enable accurate scheduling with vehicle and driver allocation including mapping and route optimisation to save you time and fuel. It also allows you to offer your passengers more certainty about collection times. For services such as Dial a Ride, automated scheduling increases efficiency by identifying which of your vehicles are best located to take new passenger bookings as they come in.

Our other useful CATSS features include

  • Vehicle Management - records due dates for vehicle tax, servicing, MOT, lift servicing and vehicle inspections, or any other information you want to include, so you can plan in advance. Maintenance costs can also be recorded against each vehicle
  • Statistics and reporting - to support funding justification or record evidence for BSOG applications amongst others. Over 500 different reports are available so we’re confident you’ll find what you need
  • Invoicing - can be used stand-alone or integrated with Sage Line 50 or Xero accounting software to make financial management and tracking easier
  • Frequent software updates, available free to all users
  • Secure remote access can be set up for specified users and PCs.

Introducing our KITTENS app

KITTENS is a mobile communication app that integrates with CATSS to provide real-time information exchange between you and your drivers/vehicles. It comprises job/task despatch and progress updating, two way messaging, vehicle tracking and satellite navigation. It operates on the GPRS mobile network using Android mobiles or tablets.

and our Volunteer Car Driver Portal!

Our CATSS Driver Portal can take the hassle out of managing your volunteer car drivers. Each of your drivers can log in to their personal web page where they can do all those things online that would normally be done via telephone and email –

  • view their recent and upcoming bookings
  • view upcoming bookings requiring a driver
  • enter mileages and cash collected
  • enter holiday requests
  • check their due dates (licence, MOT, insurance etc.)

All their input is fed directly into CATSS for you to action as required.
CATSS flexibility gives you control over how much your drivers can see and do – we do all the setup with you to meet your particular requirements.

How much does the Driver Portal cost?    £O!
No setup fees, no training fees, no licence fees
– it’s all included in the basic cost of CATSS!

Plus, our NEW On-line Passenger Registration feature!

The CATSS On-line Passenger Registration feature makes things easy for you and your passengers. If you already have a registration form for new passengers on your website you can now link this directly into CATSS, taking the hassle out of manually transferring your form data into CATSS.

Don’t have a passenger registration form? No problem, we can host one for you. The form we create will be tailored to your needs with a look and feel of your own website. All you need to do is provide a link to it from your website.

How much does all this cost? As with the Driver Portal – £O!
It’s all included in the basic cost of CATSS!

Having worked on a number of systems, I am amazed and so pleased we went with CATSS. The operating system is really good and all the reports we need are there.
Thanks to all of you at CATSS for all the hard work.
