Car Transporter Software

Built around loads, movements and condition evidence.

Whether you run transporters or single-vehicle movements on trade plates, the administrative problem is the same: several vehicles in motion, several drivers, condition to evidence at both ends, customers asking for updates, and invoicing to get out at the end of the week.

TransportMate is written for that work rather than adapted from general haulage software.

What operators use it for

Managing the job board

Jobs created, allocated and tracked through to completion.

Driver allocation

Work distributed to drivers and visible in their app.

Condition evidence

Inspections with photographs and damage records at collection and delivery.

Proof documents

POC and POD reports produced automatically as PDFs.

Customer updates

Progress shared without the office fielding calls all day.

Invoicing

Completed movements carried through to invoicing.

Subcontractors

Work passed to subcontractors and settled as part of the same operation.

Daily vehicle checks

Routine checks on your own vehicles recorded in the system.

Single movements and multi-vehicle loads

Each vehicle carries its own collection and delivery record, its own photographs and its own proof document, whether it travelled on a transporter with others or was driven on trade plates. The evidence stays with the vehicle, which is what matters when a claim comes in weeks later.

Running the operation day to day

A car transport business is judged on two things: vehicles arriving in the condition they left, and the office knowing where every job stands. TransportMate keeps each movement as one job record, from booking and allocation to the collection inspection, delivery inspection, proof document and invoice, so nothing depends on a driver's paper notes or a shared spreadsheet.

Work can be split between your own drivers and subcontractors, routine checks on your own vehicles are recorded alongside the jobs, and customers can follow progress without ringing the office.

Working in compounds and ports

Much of this work happens where mobile data does not reach. Inspections, photographs and signatures are captured on the device without a connection and upload automatically afterwards, so a driver in an underground car park or a port compound is never held up.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work for single-vehicle trade plate movements?

Yes. The workflow is the same whether the vehicle travelled on a transporter or was driven, and each vehicle carries its own records. The trade plate driver software page covers driven movements in more detail.

Can subcontracted work be managed?

Yes. TransportMate supports allocating work to subcontractors alongside your own drivers.

Can drivers work without signal?

Yes. Inspections, photographs and signatures are captured offline and sync automatically when connectivity returns.

Does it cover invoicing?

Yes. Completed jobs can be carried through to invoicing, including with Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent.
