Schedulo Coach is here

News · 10 November 2026 · All news

Schedulo Coach is out of work in progress and available now, at version 0.1.5, for Windows 10 and 11 and in a browser at coach.schedulo.uk. It's built for coach operators, and for bus operators whose private hire and contract work doesn't fit a registered timetable. Every job is its own booking, with its own itinerary, times, coach, driver and price.

Drag a job onto a driver or a coach

The Drivers and Coaches schedules show every job on a timeline, from 4 hours to 28 days. Jobs wait in Unallocated until they're dragged onto someone.

• Star ratings show which drivers and coaches suit a job best: the right kind and size of vehicle, the right skills, free at the right time.
• The checks warn when a driver is in two coaches too close together, a coach has two drivers, someone is unavailable, or a driver's day goes over the drivers' hours you've set. You choose which checks stop an allocation.
• Split a job between drivers at a change-over and join it back up, and plan the staff cars that take drivers to and from their coaches.
• Add the rest of a driver's day with the "+" at either end of a job: breaks, standby, yard duties, cleaning, vehicle checks, training or office time.

Jobs, contracts and your records

• Itineraries on OpenStreetMap, with time estimates and breaks for long trips. Free place search, with no key or account.
• Contracts make their jobs on the days they run, ticked or left out on a calendar, with school and bank holidays.
• Customers and clients in coloured categories, vehicles (own and hired in, mpg, documents and time off the road), drivers (licences, skills, unavailable days, hired and agency) and places.
• A library file (.SchCoachLib) carries your vehicles, drivers, customers, places, sheet templates and preferences into each new project.

What every job, and every coach, earns

Each job's price sits beside its estimated costs and profit: fuel from each coach's mpg, drivers at your hourly rate or paid by the shift, and its fair share of your depots' running costs and any finance or lease on the coach. Earning its keep, on the Depots & costs page, sets each coach's takings against everything it costs, idle days included, for this week, this month, this year or any dates you choose.

Sheets your drivers and customers will recognise

Run-out sheets, driver job sheets, work tickets, a book-on sheet, the weekly rota, a jobs list, coach and duty graphs, and booking confirmations, to print, save as PDF or download as CSV. Design your own: the columns and headings, your logo and colours, the paper size and a watermark, saved as templates and shared with another office as a .SchCoachSheet file.

Plan together

Share a project with a join code (NTSK-), peer to peer and encrypted end to end, and let each person in as View only, Edit or Full, just as in Schedulo Bus and Schedulo TXC. Signed in to your Schedulo account, you can invite people by email or with a link, and, when your company's plan includes them, keep a project in Schedulo's cloud for everyone it's shared with to plan live, any time. The desktop app and the browser work together both ways.

Getting Schedulo Coach

Schedulo Coach has its own licence label, COACH. Sign in to your Schedulo account and your company's plan gives it its key, or type a Coach key (or a bundle that includes Coach) from the Licence Manager. Once the key is approved, it keeps working offline for 7 days.

New to it? The guide Getting started with Schedulo Coach walks you from the first start to a printed run-out sheet.
