Driving School Software Features

Isn't it time to change lanes?

If your workflow is slowing you down, change lanes to DES Software.

Allow your customers to register for classes, sign custom contracts, make payments, schedule drive times, get text message reminders, access transcripts, and more. All aspects of the software are at your disposal to streamline communications, manage schedules, maintain student records, process state forms, and run reports.

When comparing software to handle student data and scheduling, make sure you know how many items cost extra or are outsourced to a third-party. At DES, all features are included, you never have to pay for upgrades. Your data is only ever stored on our secure servers right here in the USA. We pride ourselves on creating all our code in-house and partner exclusively with Shift4, an industry leader in payment security.
