for Sustainability"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Just image this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You woke up tomorrow to find all your funding has been cut immediately.\u00a0 Do you know what you would do?\u00a0 Would this be the end for you or would you think around the problem and come out the other side &#8216;stronger&#8217; as some might say?\u00a0 I suppose you will never know until you face that position and let&#8217;s hope you never do!<\/p>\n<p>We got to thinking this week though as to whether providers had ever considered whether if their funding was removed, could they continue?\u00a0 Then we got thinking what if we made it so that Road XS allowed you to!<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes we have to put ourselves in your shoes and that worst-case horror scenario to start planning potential future problems within <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadxs.com\/community-transport-costs\">community transport<\/a>.\u00a0 With the policitcal blockbuster of Brexit playing out everyday in the news it&#8217;s hard to completely fathom what the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadxs.com\/podcast-whats-the-future-for-community-transport\">future of community transport<\/a> might shape up to be.\u00a0 One thing is for sure, demand for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadxs.com\/the-future-of-community-transport\">community transport<\/a> is only going to be increasing!\u00a0 The UK&#8217;s population is projected to be above 74million by 2039!\u00a0 We&#8217;re also an aging population.<\/p>\n<p>One of your biggest assets in doing more with less is the adoption of technology.\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadxs.com\/passenger-software-is-your-key-to-success\">key ingredient being software<\/a>.\u00a0 Software allows you to standardise processes so that tasks can be performed to a high level of proficiency and legally, day in day out.\u00a0 When someone goes off sick or can&#8217;t make it in, you simply login and carry on.\u00a0 It&#8217;s the silent friend holding you up.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadxs.com\/hidden-costs-of-using-legacy-transport-software\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"21\">But software costs loads right<\/a>?\u00a0 Yes it does &#8211; especially if you go down the bespoke route.\u00a0 But Road XS is a Software as a Service, meaning you pay for a service and our pricing model means you pay for what you use.\u00a0 This model means if you are a large provider or a small one, you can make Road XS work for you.\u00a0 You also get on-going updates and support with no technological overheads and all secuirty built in to the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadxs.com\/tackling-gdpr\">GDPR<\/a> standards and above.<\/p>\n<p>With the latest automated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadxs.com\/automate-your-invoicing\">invoicing<\/a> module built into Road XS you can now automate collection of admin fees and invoicing of clients in an instant, then track and collect the money.\u00a0 Payments can also be taken online.\u00a0 This is a key step, as with this financial information you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadxs.com\/community-transport-services\">keep tabs on money outstanding and what it truly costs to run your services<\/a>.\u00a0 We don&#8217;t advocate this, but you could in theory <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadxs.com\/product\/save-over-2-days-a-week\/\">run Road XS from anywhere<\/a> with routed phone calls saving yourself the need for an office and saving yourself a major overhead in the process.\u00a0 Again &#8230; thinking worst case scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>The pricing model for Road XS also means you can off-set some cost to the passenger, especially as there is no up-front fee or high training costs with Road XS.\u00a0 If for example you increased your admin fee by 25p you&#8217;re actually covering your costs on the Pay as you Go model.\u00a0 This means you get cutting edge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadxs.com\/volunteer-driver-scheduling-software\/\">software that provides you a platform to operate as efficiently<\/a> as possible when your back is against the wall.<\/p>\n<p>When you focus on the worst case scenario, it helps look at funding in a whole new light and as a bonus!\u00a0 With an ever unclear Britain beyond March 2019, rest assured there is always a way out of a problem should one arise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just image this&#8230; You
