Flexible Transport Solutions

Belengo Flexible Transport Solutions (FTS) deliver immense improvement in fleet efficiency, customer satisfaction and management insight. Belengo's experience in the taxi industry with sophisticated, high-volume dispatch applications and communications led to the development of the Flexible Transport solution.

Previously, fleet operators needed private data networks, proprietary in-vehicle devices and large-scale dispatch systems to efficiently run a fleet. Now with Belengo FTS, a web-hosted dispatch application, off-the-shelf devices and public data networks do the job, without large capital expenditure.

Belengo FTS can register customers, take job bookings, track vehicles, optimize routes, communicate and navigate drivers to their destination. The optimized routes are dispatched to the fleet over a public mobile data network and the drivers are guided to each point via the GPS navigation system. Plus, the web-hosted delivery model means that fleet operators have visibility over multiple fleets and access to performance reports at any time.

Unlike conventional transport services with fixed routes and times, flexible transport services match more closely to customers needs and are much more efficient for the fleet operator.

Belengo FTS is designed for public and community transport operators, shuttle, limousine and paratransit providers, taxi companies and the broader fleet management industry.
