Customisation
Your school’s rules, not ours.
No two driving schools run the same way, so DriveSync does not make you work like everyone else. You set the prices, the packages, the codes you teach, how instructors are picked, what your office staff may change, what learners may do for themselves and what your WhatsApp messages say. Change any of it later, and it applies from the next booking.
How it works
- 1
Start on sensible defaults
Every setting starts somewhere reasonable, so you can take bookings on day one.
- 2
Change what doesn’t fit
Each part has its own settings page: school profile, business hours, lessons and booking, pricing, team permissions, learner access and messages.
- 3
Adjust as you grow
New code, new prices, a new admin? Change the setting and carry on. Nothing to reinstall.

Questions
How customisable is DriveSync?
Very. You set your licence codes, prices, packages and surcharges, how instructors are matched, fourteen separate permissions for office staff, what learners may do for themselves, and the wording of your WhatsApp messages.
Can I control what my office staff can change?
Yes. The owner switches fourteen permissions on or off for admin staff, including editing prices, licence codes and school details, managing instructors and vehicles, and deleting bookings.
Do I have to set everything up before I start?
No. Every setting starts on a sensible default, so you can take your first booking straight away and adjust the rest as you go.
Is every setting on every plan?
Most are. A few features, such as smart instructor recommendations and report export, depend on your plan. The pricing page shows what each plan includes.
