Primary Requirement Duty Slip Management

Category / Module
Duty Slip
Management

Major Requirement

Explanation

Duty slip generation

Duty slip is generated based on successful allocation of vehicle

and driver.
Unique duty slip number is used for reference .

Tracking duty slip

Duty slip needs to be updated with the status like closed, open,
unassigned, missed, closed, momentary close.
This helps in getting a pending report on a particular day for the
booking office.

Duty slip notifications

Automated SMS or email notifications are sent to customer on

duty slip generation, with driver details, pick up time and
pickup location.
This will reduce manual work and confusion.
Changes in drivers or vehicle can also be notified to customer.
Driver is also notified with trip details through SMS.

Payment management

Payment against duty slip needs to be made. When there are

several corporate bookings or several bookings by a client, it
becomes hard to track what payment is for which duty slip.
Cash payments for non-corporate trips are also to be accounted.

Momentary closure/
Complete closure

Few of the duty slips need to be closed for a short period and
reopened. There should be a provision for closing duty slip
momentarily and completely.
