Serving Driving Schools Across the United States

Freedom Driving School needed to refresh and revitalize the website and software we currently used to improve our day-to-day operation and support the expansion of our business.

After careful review, Freedom Driving School chose Driver's Ed Solutions to collaborate with on the modernization of our website and operation software. We looked specifically for a company that would aid our growth plan, provide a foundation for success, and strong tech and development support. As a Veteran owned business, it was also important for us to find a family-owned company operated in the United States.

The website design is sleek and easy-to-navigate. The set-up process was guided. Learning to use a new information system to run our student scheduling, payments for products, and administrative functions was quick and easy.

After operating our multi-faceted website for 90 days we have seen increases in sales and services. In today's current labor market, our leadership team has been able to increase the productivity of each employee which has decreased overall labor costs. It is hard to believe we thought we'd been managing well before DES.

South Summit School District has been using Drivers Ed Solutions for the past year, and it's been spectacular! It's made scheduling our students easy with little confusion. Students are made aware of their upcoming scheduled dates and can be blocked if they develop a habit of not showing (I love that little additional feature, for sure!). Maria Herbert (the director of DES) is fabulous! She's prompt in her response time and will help you navigate through any new or vague areas of the program. This is hands down the best system for scheduling student drivers on the market!

Hats off to DES for optimizing my front office, back office, and internet presence in one place. Their continued commitment to customer service, training, and innovation keeps us moving forward with ease.

Before using the services at Drivers Ed Solutions (DES), I had a myriad of experiences with other companies, not always favorable. Since beginning my business relationship with DES, I have seen a notable upswing in efficiency, which has made for an enjoyable working experience. Much of the inherent stress which I experienced in the past is now nonexistent. I have found that the turnaround time for addressing any issues that may arise is almost immediate. This has allowed me to focus much more time expanding my business, whereas I spent numerous hours on problem-solving in the past. Unlike similar websites in this field, the DES website is extremely user-friendly and easy to navigate. I can only find positive things to say about my relationship with DES. I am certain others will echo these sentiments. Without hesitation, I can give my highest recommendation.

Website is working so so nice. It's so hard to believe that we did it the hard way for so long.

We learned about Drivers Ed Solutions (DES) from another driving school. After a brief demo from our friends and learning about how affordable the software was, we were ready to give it a try. The DES team was very responsive and had us up and running in no time. When we started with the DES software, we had one location and three vehicles. Now, ten years later, we have three locations and 14 vehicles! DES routinely makes improvements and provides online videos to explain the new features. I highly recommend DES to anyone interested in a more efficient business process.

What can I say about Driver's Ed Solutions? They are absolutely to only solution for any Driving School that is looking for an amazing website scheduling system. The software is state of the art, the functionality is easy to learn for both staff and customers, and the price can't be beat. This company is the only choice for driving schools both large or small, they make it easy to run your business. The owner Maria always makes herself available for your questions and she always finds you an answer or solution to your problem.  Bottom Line: If you run a driving school anywhere in the USA, and you are not using Driver's Ed Solutions, you are probably in the wrong business!!

Do your research. When I first bought the driving school in 2020, we had no software-still using paper and pencil to keep track of everything. When I started looking for software companies, few were out there. I should have done more research. I encountered errors after using the software from the first company I chose. To get support or help with issues, I would have to submit a ticket. Sometimes it would take weeks or even months for my ticket to get looked at. Even after they closed my ticket, sometimes my problems would still not be fixed; I would then have to submit another ticket and wait. Communication was difficult.

In early December, our enrollments were down. I just thought it was the time of year. After doing some more digging, I realized that our website was not even taking enrollments. No one could even enroll! This was a significant issue that should have been fixed right away. I had to submit a ticket and wait.

I finally got so frustrated I started looking for other software companies just before Christmas 2022. It has been night and day since I signed up with Driver's Ed Solutions. I was up and running in less than four weeks.I can call and talk to a real person on the phone at Driver's Ed Solutions. Their software also actually works without any issues. Refreshing.

I am so happy that I have found Maria and her team at Driver's Ed Solutions. They are so helpful and amazing. I wish I had found them years ago, and our business would have benefited from their software so much. Switching from one software to another is a lot of work. Driver's Ed Solutions will help you every step of the way and train all your employees for you. The other company did not help us train our employees, and the training I received from them for myself was very minimal.

If you are considering switching because you're tired of poor customer service or a new company looking for a software solution for your driving school, Driver's Ed Solutions is the way to go. Don't be like me and wait for the big issues and problems to happen. Follow your gut; my gut told me for a while that something was not right. I just was not ready to actually believe it.

We are glad we switched to DES! We've found the access to the website and form letters incredibly helpful. We are trying to automate communications as much as possible to save our staff time, and so far, it has made an impact. Also, the overall appearance of our website is much better, and we've received compliments on its functionality and appearance. Although we are paying a little more now, but it has been worth it. We are actually saving money if you factor in the lower hours of office staff needed to run the software.

Prior to Drivers Ed Solutions, we were using a website system that we had set-up ourselves. Updating the site was a pain and it didn't offer anything but our basic information. The switch to Drivers Ed Solution has been wonderful. The ability for students to register for classes online has increased our enrollment.

The set-up of the site was seamless, thanks in large part to Josh. He has always been there to walk me through any hiccups that may occur. We are so thrilled with our new website and Drivers Ed Solutions!

I tell people all the time how much your software has literally saved my life. 

Quick story. I'm booked till late Sept, we sign up a new student, I tell the Mom how to register, click wait list. She clicked on every date and time possible, as soon as she got notification that spot was available, she booked it. Bottom line, she used the system to her benefit and got all 4 lessons done in less than 3 weeks cause we had cancellations!

As a driving school owner and operator for over a decade in Colorado and a participant in the Driver Education Industry since 1973, I have been approached and tried multiple driving school software management tools and website applications. Without a doubt, Drivers Ed Solutions has been the most successful, easily navigatable and most efficient program management tool I have ever personally utilized. I would highly recommend this Company not only for their software, but especially for their staff support and customer care.

Our experience with Drivers Ed Solutions has been nothing less than perfect. DES customer service is outstanding! They are always quick to respond and give me pointers on how to do this and that. We immediately noticed an increase in cash flow when clients began signing up and making deposits online. Our calendars began filling well in advance, and we became more efficient. Parents were able to track progress and see when their child missed class. The system sent reminders, so our cancellation rate is decreased. Phone calls slowed because the website was so comprehensive. We were able to reduce hours for office personnel. DES has made a positive impact on our business. We are sure they can do the same for you!
