Our Origins
Trips started life 26 years ago Australia’s only dedicated community transport software.
First developed in 1993 to support the transport management of the Home & Community Care sectors. Over the years there have been extensive enhancements to the software including the development of:
iOS and Android mobile app for drivers that replaces paper-based run lists.
SMS notifications for clients and drivers.
Advanced auto allocation and route optimisation system.
Google Maps integration.
Inclusion of patient relevant health information.
Throughout this there have been three core principles guiding our software development:
Easy to Use
People in the caring industries are drawn to it by their desire to help and a strong sense of compassion. They want to support their clients. Our job is to make it as easy as possible for you to use the tools you need to do that.
Flexible
That the software can be as adapted to the unique requirements of any organisation. In this day and age that has translated to being cloud-based. So your team can use it anywhere they have mobile reception.
Doing more of your work automatically
The purpose of our software is to make the administrative, compliance and management tasks of service delivery as simple as possible. Where we can we automate them. So that your people can spend more time with your clients.

What Our Clients Say
-
Fantastic value – the amount of time and money we have saved is phenomenal 
“We are a large organisation with 32 vehicles, over 100 drivers and are funded to provide 100,000 trips per annum. We service 17 different organisations over multiple sites.
So for us, managing transport is a big deal.Before Trips we were using an Access database and everything was paper-based, manual and very clunky. We couldn’t have grown to our current level without it.
Its functionality and capability is a continuous learning curve for us. After a recent training trip from Andrew we discovered a new function and are now virtually paperless.
It is fantastic value – the amount of time and money we have saved is phenomenal. It’s so much quicker for our team which means happier clients for us and for our member organisations.
The support from the Trips team is fantastic – they are always available, get back to us and answer any queries we have.”

It meets all the government funding requirements... the support is great
Trips is a great system for taking and scheduling transport bookings. As a community transport organisation it is how we do our part to create more inclusive, connected communities.
But it’s the visibility across the whole organisation that I love most. Data is updated live to all users at any site, ensuring accuracy of information sharing.
It also handles reporting for our government funding requirements, manages our transport crew records and stores our client database and allocations securely. It is saves us a lot of time and the support is great.
