Keeping a reliable system to record lesson bookings, make daily changes and a store for book keeping is an important tool for driving instructors.

What type of diary do you use:

●     paper diary

●     digital diary

●     online diary

Paper diaries are still common with many ADI’s who prefer a physical hard copy recording system.

They are quick to use, but mistakes are easy to make.

Instructors using paper diaries often use a pencil to record entries, but more often than not end up erasing entries because of changes.

Pencil can also fade and become almost impossible to read.

A paper diary comes in all shapes and sizes, and has to be taken everywhere with the instructor.

How many times have you taken your diary home to make changes, and then forgot to take it back to the car the next day?

Digital diaries are becoming popular because instructors can record entries, make changes, even delete them from their mobile phone, tablet or desktop.

Some of the software solutions can be awkward to use, therefore taking longer to add entities and make changes, which then defeats the purpose they were designed for.

You have to have trust in technology as well, because sometimes things can go wrong and entries are mistakenly erased.

Online diaries are the next generation for recording driving lessons.

With an online diary you can share your data with others, and you can even give them permission to change information for you.

This is ideal if you have someone answering your calls on your behalf. They can see your free spaces and make new bookings for you while you are working, therefore reducing your daily workload.

Online diaries can be accessed from anywhere in the world providing you have internet access.

Driving instructors can also record a student’s lesson progress and share it with them using many of today’s software solutions.

But, some online diaries are clunky, and time consuming, meaning that the difficulty of using them far outweighs the benefits they offer a driving instructor.

Another problem associated with online diaries that are operated by different parties is they can create duplicate entries, or a booking is accidentally erased. This is especially common when the instructor’s mobile device is offline.

We’ve solved the online diary problems, by offering driving instructors a quick and easy to use system that any ADI can feel confident using.

The benefit of this system for driving instructors is that it reduces the booking process time, with simple click and copy entries to the following week.

New entries are also quick and easy for busy instructors, we’ve included drop down boxes to select students and pick up locations. Students receive a booking confirmation with date, time and location, meaning there’s less chance of mistakes being made. 

We’ve taken the fluff out of communication and focused on a system that is quick, easy and efficient, and we’ve excluded adding features that complicate the process and add time to a lesson.

Time is money, and students dislike being sat at the side of the road for longer than necessary while their instructor fiddles around with complex technology. 

Cancellations have caused problems for instructor’s since the dawn of driving tuition. This system let’s existing customers check for extra lessons, and book as additional practice, helping instructors fill those short notice one off spaces.

You can set a radius you’re willing to travel for a student, meaning if they fall outside that radius they cannot book the lesson without you allowing it.

Customers on tap, where and when you want them.

The system is also a customer generating machine, so you can fill gaps in your diary while you sleep.

People looking online for driving lessons can check your availability for lessons therefore saving them time making calls.

The booking wizard is linked to our website meaning that we can drive customers to the instructors who match the area they are searching for.

The instructor has full control over their diary, opposed to allowing driving school staff to select the customer location, which often leaves instructors struggling to get to lessons.
