What Partner Bookings Cost Without API Automation
Without taxi API integration and a reliable taxi booking API, partner bookings do not flow into your system automatically. Your team must handle each booking manually, every day, across every partner, increasing effort and risk of errors.
Partner sends bookings by email or phone
Your team reads the email, opens the dispatch system, manually creates the booking. Multiplied by 40–100 partner bookings a day, this is hours of avoidable overhead that errors creep into.
Delay between booking and dispatch
Without an API, a partner booking placed at 11 pm remains unprocessed until morning. With an API, the booking reaches your dispatch dashboard in under 200 milliseconds at any hour, every day.
Partners constantly chase you for status updates
Without a two-way API and webhook system, partners call or email asking if a driver is assigned, if the trip started, if the booking was received. Each chase call is wasted time on both sides.
Commission tracking is a monthly manual reconciliation
Calculating commissions owed to or from each partner without API tracking means pulling spreadsheets together at month end. API commission tracking makes it automatic, real-time and error-free.
One API integration per partner replaces a daily manual process.
Connect a partner once — their bookings flow into your dashboard automatically, in real time, forever. No emails to check. No phone calls to take. No data to re-enter.
- Partner bookings in your dashboard under 200ms — zero manual steps required
- Two-way webhook sync — partners get real-time status without calling you
- Commission rate set per partner — calculated and tracked automatically per booking
- 24/7 booking receipt — no partner email to catch up on in the morning
- Fare quotes and availability via GET endpoints — partners can pre-check before booking
- Full API documentation and sandbox environment provided — partners integrate in days

How Partner Bookings Flow into Your Dashboard via API
From the moment a booking is placed on a partner platform to driver assignment and status confirmation, the entire process runs automatically from start to finish.
Partner Places Booking
Travel agency, OTA or mobility app creates a booking on their own platform.
API Push to Yelowsoft
Partner sends a POST request to Yelowsoft's REST API with full booking details.
Confirmed <200ms
Yelowsoft validates the request, creates the ride record and returns a booking ID instantly.
Driver Auto-Dispatched
Nearest available driver is assigned automatically. Booking appears in dispatch dashboard.
Status Pushed Back
Every status change including confirmed, driver assigned, started, and completed is pushed to partners through webhooks in real time.
Two Types of Partners Who Send Bookings via API
Yelowsoft’s booking API is designed to handle the two most common third party booking sources for taxi operators, including travel platforms and mobility applications.
Online Travel Agencies & Travel Management Companies
OTAs and corporate travel management companies use a taxi booking API to arrange ground transport as part of larger travel plans, including airport transfers, city to city rides, and hotel connections alongside flights and accommodation.
