Drivers and assignments

Keep each driver’s details, ID numbers, emergency contact and photos in one place, and record which vehicle they drive, on which shift and from when.

When to use it

When you hire a driver, change shifts, or a driver stops driving a vehicle.

Where to find it

  • + or menu → Drivers → Add driver
  • Open a vehicle → Assign driver
  • Vehicle form → Drivers (choose saved drivers or add a new one)

What you need

  • Required: name, mobile number, NID number and driving licence number. Bengali digits work too.
  • Optional: address, licence expiry date, notes, an emergency contact (name, relationship, phone), and photos.
  • For an assignment: vehicle, start date and shift. Optional: end date, expected daily deposit, notes.

Steps

  1. Open Drivers from the menu or the + button, then tap “Add driver”.
  2. Enter the name, mobile number, NID number and licence number exactly as printed.
  3. Add a profile photo and photos of the NID and licence, front and back (one image each). Anything else goes under Other images.
  4. Save. Then open the vehicle and tap “Assign driver”: set the start date and shift — Not specified, Day, Night, or Custom with start and end times.
  5. If a custom end time is earlier than the start time, the shift runs past midnight.
  6. When a driver stops, use “End assignment”: it ends today and stays in the history.

Result

The vehicle’s screen lists every active driver, and income and money-received forms show that vehicle’s drivers first. Search drivers by name, phone, ID number or vehicle.

Mistakes and exceptions

  • The expected daily deposit is only a reference. It never becomes income by itself — record income yourself.
  • The same driver cannot have the same shift on the same vehicle for overlapping dates. Different drivers or different shifts are fine.
  • ID numbers are saved as typed. The app does not check them against any government record, and cannot read text from card photos.
  • Drivers added before ID numbers were required show “Information incomplete” until you edit them.
  • Driver details and ID photos are personal information. Keep your phone locked and your backups safe.

Correct or undo

  • Tap a driver, then Edit to correct details.
  • Removing a driver in the vehicle form ends the assignment today. An assignment that has not started yet is removed instead.
  • “Delete driver” removes the driver and their assignments; past income and expenses stay.
