Autofox

Autofox is a software package designed for the day-to-day running and management of driving school businesses, from independent instructors to larger schools with multiple instructors and vehicles. The product addresses the administrative challenges specific to driver training, where schools must schedule lessons around student availability, instructor calendars and vehicle use, track student progress towards tests, manage payments and packages, and keep records required by licensing authorities. Handling these tasks with paper diaries or generic calendars leads to scheduling conflicts, lost information and time taken away from teaching. Autofox approaches this by providing an accessible, purpose-built system that brings scheduling, student administration and financial management together, designed to be easy to use for instructors who may not have extensive technical experience.

Typical functionality includes lesson scheduling with instructor and vehicle planning, student records covering personal details, lesson history and training progress, and management of theory and practical exam registrations. Financial features cover lesson packages, invoicing, payment tracking and outstanding balances, helping schools maintain accurate accounts and reduce missed payments. Students can often view their schedules and progress through an online portal or app, and automated reminders help reduce missed lessons. Instructors can access their agendas on mobile devices, record lesson details and update progress while on the road. Reporting provides insight into instructor utilisation, revenue, pass rates and student numbers, supporting business planning. The software may also support online registration and booking, allowing prospective students to sign up without phone calls. Autofox is primarily used in the Netherlands and Belgium, reflecting the Euro-denominated pricing, and is designed around the regulatory and operational practices of driver training in those markets. It is suited to driving schools of all sizes, including car, motorcycle and professional vehicle training providers. Pricing starts from around EUR 9.95; there is no free trial and no permanently free version.
