Run payroll for your drivers inside the same platform
Most car rental software stops at dispatch. Travel Softdrive keeps going — attendance, leaves, comp-off, holiday calendars, salary structures, monthly payroll runs, and salary slip PDFs. Your ops system and your HR system are the same system.

Without it
- ×Attendance is marked in one tool, payroll happens in another — two systems, two truths
- ×Comp-off for Diwali duty is remembered in WhatsApp messages and forgotten by March
- ×Driver salary slip generation is a manual Excel → PDF exercise, every month
- ×Holiday calendars affect both billing and attendance — but they only live in one of those systems
- ×New driver joins; you update HR, payroll, driver registry, and dispatch — four separate places
With Travel Softdrive
- Attendance and duties flow from the same driver record — no duplicate masters
- Comp-off for weekend and holiday duties tracked automatically, used transparently
- Monthly payroll runs produce salary slip PDFs with full component breakdown
- Holiday calendar drives billing rates and attendance rules from one source of truth
- One driver record powers HR, payroll, dispatch, and compliance — no duplication
What's inside
Employee registry for drivers + staff
Drivers, dispatchers, accountants, mechanics — one employee master with designations, departments, and payroll flags.
Attendance tracking
Daily attendance per driver/staff, with comp-off tracking for overtime and weekend duties. Mobile-friendly marking.
Leave management
Leave types (casual, sick, earned), entitlements, apply/approve workflow, cancellation and adjustment. Bilateral transparency for staff and managers.
Comp-off transactions
Work a Sunday, earn a comp-off. Claim it later. The ledger tracks every earn and use — no more 'I'm sure I worked that Diwali' debates.
Salary structures
Template-based salary structures with configurable components — basic, DA, HRA, driver allowance, conveyance, deductions. Apply a structure to a group in one action.
Payroll periods with lock
Define monthly payroll periods. Lock a period once processed — no retroactive attendance edits after salaries are paid.
Salary slip generation
PDF salary slips with full component breakdown, generated per employee for each payroll run. Shareable, printable, compliant.
Holiday calendar
One calendar drives both holiday billing rates and holiday attendance rules. Configure once; consistency everywhere.
A 40-driver operator running payroll on Excel + Tally
Before: the HR assistant spent the last three working days of every month consolidating driver attendance from manual registers, reconciling comp-off claims from WhatsApp and paper chits, calculating pro-rated salaries for mid-month joiners, and generating salary slips in Word. After: attendance is marked inside the platform as duties are closed. Comp-off earns and uses are recorded automatically. The payroll period locks at month-end; salary slips generate for all 40 drivers in one click. Three days of work became one afternoon. The HR assistant now runs payroll audits the operator never had time to do before.
Illustrative scenario based on typical operator workflows.
Frequently asked questions
Does this work alongside our existing payroll system?+
Yes. Operators who prefer to keep their main payroll in a dedicated HR suite can use Travel Softdrive for attendance, comp-off, and driver-specific pay components, then export data to their payroll system. Alternatively, run the whole cycle here — many operators do.
Is this only for drivers, or for all staff?+
All staff — drivers, dispatchers, accountants, mechanics, admin. The employee model isn't driver-specific; it covers the full rental operation team.
Does the platform handle statutory deductions like EPF and ESI?+
Basic statutory deductions can be configured as salary components. For full EPF/ESI filing and challan generation, many operators pair us with a dedicated compliance tool — ask us for recommended integrations.
Can drivers see their own attendance and salary slips?+
Yes. Drivers access their attendance record, leave balance, and salary slips via the driver app (or the employee portal for non-driver staff).
What if a driver works for us some days and for a partner supplier other days?+
Attendance is tagged to the operator of record for each duty. If a driver is on your payroll but serves partner duties (via the supplier network), their duties for the partner don't count as your attendance — the gig-model relationships are modelled correctly.
