Driving schools — Automation for driving schools
Instructors are on the road when the phone rings, permit copies and parent consent forms arrive piecemeal, and cancelled lessons leave empty cars. These are the parts software can take over, with the owner and instructors still deciding who is ready for the road, fee exceptions and signing each certificate, with messages to parents of student drivers. 41 automations fit, each with an example and workflow written for driving schools.
