Operator details
Is the portal only for operators?
Yes. Customers use the app and customer-facing booking flow. Operators use the private portal to manage bookings, customers, vehicles, routes, updates and trip content.
Do operators need Starlink in every vehicle?
The model is based on Starlink in the front and rear operator vehicles. Customer vehicles do not need their own Starlink for the app experience to work as part of the convoy model.
Can operators keep their own brand?
The page structure supports operator-branded departures and route content. The platform can be extended to support custom domains, brand colours and operator-specific booking pages.
