Patient Transport Software for NEPT Operators
Medical appointments don't wait. Waybill gives non-emergency patient transport operators the precision scheduling, patient requirement tracking, vehicle matching, and real-time visibility needed to get patients where they need to be — on time, every time.
Time-Critical Scheduling for Medical Appointments
When a patient has a 9:30 AM hospital appointment, "roughly around 9" isn't good enough. Waybill's scheduling system is built for the precision that medical transport demands.
- Precise pickup windows — Set exact pickup times or time ranges. The system calculates when the driver must depart to arrive on time, factoring in travel distance and conditions.
- Appointment-based scheduling — Enter the appointment time and let Waybill work backwards to determine the ideal pickup time, ensuring the patient arrives with time to spare.
- Estimated arrival times — Every job shows the estimated arrival time at the destination, so coordinators can confirm with the facility that the patient will be there on time.
- Flexible and fixed jobs — Mark time-sensitive appointments as fixed so they're prioritised in scheduling. Mark less urgent trips as flexible to give the system room to optimise routes.
- Automated driver selection — Smart assignment considers driver proximity and current workload to pick the driver most likely to arrive on time.
Patient Requirements at Your Fingertips
Health transport patients often have specific needs that vary widely — from mobility aids to escort requirements, from stretcher transport to oxygen equipment. Waybill keeps every detail organised and accessible.
- Mobility aid tracking — Record whether a patient needs wheelchair access, a stretcher, walking frame, or no special equipment. This directly affects which vehicles can be assigned.
- Escort requirements — Flag patients who need a carer, family member, or medical escort to travel with them. Multi-passenger jobs handle this seamlessly.
- Medical notes — Add notes visible to the driver — oxygen requirements, fall risk, post-surgery care instructions, or communication needs.
- Vehicle matching — When a job is assigned, Waybill checks that the vehicle matches the patient's requirements. A stretcher patient won't be assigned to a standard sedan.
- Recurring patient profiles — Regular patients have their requirements stored once. Every new job for that patient automatically inherits their accessibility needs.
Route Optimisation That Respects Patient Comfort
Health transport isn't just about getting from A to B efficiently — it's about minimising patient time in the vehicle, avoiding unnecessary detours, and respecting comfort constraints.
- Minimise time in vehicle — The optimisation engine considers maximum time-in-vehicle settings, ensuring patients aren't riding around for hours while other passengers are collected.
- Direct routes for urgent trips — Time-critical medical appointments get direct routing. The system won't add extra pickups to a job when the patient has a fixed appointment time.
- Multi-stop efficiency — When combining multiple patients into shared rides, the system calculates the optimal pickup order to minimise total journey time for all passengers.
- Return trip planning — Schedule the return trip at the same time as the outbound journey. Waybill can coordinate pickup after the appointment based on expected duration.
Multi-Stop Coordination
Health transport often involves collecting multiple patients from different locations and delivering them to the same facility — or picking up several patients from a hospital after their appointments. Waybill handles both scenarios.
- Multi-passenger jobs — Assign multiple patients to a single vehicle run. Each patient has their own pickup location, time window, and accessibility requirements tracked individually.
- Optimised pickup order — The system determines the most efficient order to collect patients, minimising total route time while respecting each patient's appointment deadline.
- Individual tracking — Even within a shared ride, each patient's pickup and dropoff is tracked separately. Dispatchers see exactly which patients have been collected and which are still waiting.
- Capacity management — Vehicle capacity is checked against the total passengers (including escorts) to prevent overbooking. Wheelchair and stretcher positions are tracked separately from standard seats.
Real-Time Tracking and Dispatch Visibility
Health transport coordinators need to know where every vehicle is and whether patients are on schedule. Waybill provides live visibility across your entire operation.
Live Job Status
Every job moves through clear status stages — Pending, Assigned, In Transit, Completed. Status changes are pushed to dispatchers in real time, so the board is always current without refreshing.
Instant Notifications
When a driver picks up a patient, completes a delivery, or encounters an issue, dispatchers are notified immediately. No need to call drivers for updates — the information comes to you.
Dispatch Board
See all active jobs, available drivers, and vehicle locations on a single screen. Filter by status, driver, or time to focus on what needs attention right now.
Schedule Awareness
The dispatch view shows driver schedules alongside active jobs. Know at a glance which drivers are available, which are on a run, and which are finishing soon.
Automated Workflows
Set up automated notifications when jobs are running late, when a driver hasn't updated their status, or when a high-priority patient is waiting. Catch problems before patients are affected.
Complete History
Every trip is recorded with timestamps, driver details, and route information. Review any patient's transport history or generate reports for healthcare facility contracts.
Driver Fatigue Compliance
Real-time driver hours tracking with automatic warnings when approaching daily limits. HVNL Chain of Responsibility compliance built in with complete audit logs.
In-App Messaging
Dispatchers and drivers communicate via instant job-linked messages instead of phone calls. Full message history and read receipts for every conversation.
Built for Patient Safety
Health transport is about people at their most vulnerable. Every feature in Waybill is designed to ensure patients are transported safely and comfortably.
Accessibility requirements are enforced at the system level — not left to memory. Vehicle matching prevents patients from being assigned to vehicles that can't accommodate their needs. Driver notes ensure every driver knows exactly what care is required.
Trusted by Healthcare Partners
Healthcare facilities need reliable transport partners. Waybill gives you the tools to demonstrate that reliability — on-time performance tracking, complete trip records, and the operational efficiency that comes from intelligent scheduling.
Every trip has a unique reference number, making it easy to reconcile transport records with facility bookings and billing systems.
