I thought of the Vito and am considering buying one because it would increase the seating capacity and fexability and more importantly my earning potential. I think I will look at the running cost of the Vito. Cheers...
I am looking at Datamaster as a control system although the initial purchase price is high it does have a lot of good feedback, can anyone suggest any other databases that would suit and are user friendly that may be cheaper.
Please Remember I am only just getting this idea off of the drawing board and any advice that could help make this a reality and avoid all the pitfalls of making novice mistakes would be appreciated?
Datamaster is a booking and dispatch system and is very good at doing that job. However if you are a one man band then you will find any system "expensive". Why would you need such a system if you are a one man band because you cant be in the office checking on the bookings and dispatch whilst out driving.
In your original post you wanted something to calculate your fares. Well I still use google maps to get the distance and at it's simplest you just multiply that by your cost per mile. As for your mileage, your car will have a trip mileometer that can do that and just write down your jobs and the fare on a piece of paper.
