Automating fleet management with ATOM Mobility: The future of task automation
Managing a fleet comes with many moving parts—from ensuring vehicles are serviced regularly to addressing feedback and operational needs. ATOM Mobility’s new Task Automation feature optimizes this process by automatically creating tasks based on each vehicle’s real-time parameters, such as mileage, time, user feedback, and ride count. This allows fleet operators to focus on strategic growth while routine maintenance and issue resolution become automated. Here’s how this feature could make fleet operations smoother, efficient, and more scalable for shared mobility and rental businesses.
Task automation for fleet management
ATOM Mobility’s Task Automation feature builds on its ongoing focus to simplify fleet management. This new addition enables operators to automate task creation based on specific vehicle metrics, reducing manual effort and enhancing overall fleet efficiency.
The idea is brilliantly simple: instead of creating tasks manually (which can be tedious and time-consuming), this tool will automatically create tasks for you based on pre-set conditions.
With Task Automation, you can set specific parameters that will trigger task creation, such as mileage, ride count, ratings, or time. Picture this: every 5,000 kilometers driven, the system can automatically create a “Tire Check” task. Or if a specific vehicle receives user ratings below two stars, a “Low user review, check up required” task can be triggered. This approach to task generation not only saves valuable time but also ensures that vehicles receive consistent care based on real usage and performance, not guessing.
How task automation works in a nutshell
Setting up Task Automation in ATOM Mobility’s dashboard is designed to be as seamless as possible. The process essentially boils down to three simple steps:
- Log in to the ATOM Mobility platform, and head to the Fleet Maintenance section under “More.”
- Create a new automation: Specify the task type (like check-ups or cleaning ro anything else), set priority (low, medium, high), choose the relevant vehicle model, and add an optional description.
- Set a trigger parameter and value: Choose the metric that will trigger the task, whether it’s mileage, ride count, user feedback, or time schedule.
Once everything’s set, the system will keep track of these parameters for each vehicle, ensuring that when a trigger is met, a task will be created automatically and added to the dashboard. You’ll have everything you need to keep each vehicle in tip-top shape without manual oversight.
Why task automation is a game-changer for shared mobility operators
It’s no secret that keeping up with fleet maintenance can be a full-time job—and then some. Task Automation is built to give you time back in your day and enhance fleet health without excessive manual work. Here’s how it shines:
- Minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency: With automated tasks created on schedule, you’re reducing the chance of missing maintenance, which can lead to unexpected breakdowns or, worse, unsatisfied customers.
- Boosting customer experience: Users expect seamless, safe, and reliable rides. By setting automated checks based on feedback ratings, you can address any hiccups before they escalate, like a regular check-up triggered when user ratings dip, ensuring issues are handled swiftly.
- Optimizing resource allocation: Operators save time, money, and stress by allowing ATOM’s platform to handle task creation. Staff can then focus on actual maintenance rather than constant monitoring and task creation, ultimately lowering operational costs.
Examples of task automation in action
To illustrate how powerful Task Automation can be, here are some scenarios where it could make a real difference for fleet operators:
- Mileage-based maintenance: Automatically set oil changes or tire rotations every 5,000 kilometers. No more sticky notes or vague reminders—once the mileage threshold is hit, the task is created instantly, saving time and maintaining vehicle health.
- Feedback-based follow-ups: Let’s say you have a popular scooter, but a few users have noted a squeaky brake. Once the feedback drops below a specific rating, an automatic check-up task is created. That way, you don’t have to wait for a cascade of bad reviews before you act.
- Time-based cleanings: Hygiene is crucial, especially in shared mobility. You could set a task to clean and sanitize vehicles after a set number of hours or rides, ensuring each user gets a fresh experience without needing someone to track hours.
Task automation meets scalability: ideal for growing fleets
For any business with a growing fleet, Task Automation provides a clear advantage. By using parameters to generate tasks, you can scale up without needing additional manpower just to manage scheduling. As your fleet grows, Task Automation scales with you, handling more vehicles and keeping you updated on the health and performance of each.
Think of it as a maintenance manager that grows alongside your fleet without increasing your operational costs. It’s no longer about manually checking every vehicle at every mile marker; it’s about letting the system manage maintenance alerts while you keep your attention on strategic growth.

Setting up Task Automation is straightforward, but don’t hesitate to ask ATOM Mobility’s team for more detailed guidance. Here’s a quick overview to get you started:
- Select your trigger: Choose between kilometers, hours, ride count, or ratings, based on what matters most to your fleet.
- Define your task requirements: Each task is customizable, so you can specify different needs depending on the type of vehicle or its usage.
- Monitor with ease: Once in place, the automation will handle task creation. Just check in via the dashboard to monitor progress and handle any high-priority issues as needed. All the information and tasks are synced between the dashboard and fleet manager app.

How to retain drivers on your ride-hailing platform long term
🚗💬 Why do ride-hail drivers quit – and what makes them stay? We break down insights from the 2025 Gig Driver Report and show how ATOM Mobility helps platforms keep drivers happy with instant payouts, dynamic pricing, and smarter tools.

How to retain drivers on your ride-hailing platform long term
In the ride-hailing business, getting enough drivers online is critical. But keeping them there is what really drives long-term success. Unlike traditional taxi services, ride-hailing drivers are independent contractors. They don’t have fixed shifts, guaranteed income, or long-term contracts. They log on when it suits them, and just as quickly, they can log off – or switch to another app.
That flexibility means you're not only competing for riders. You're also competing for drivers, every single day.
What makes ride-hailing different for drivers
Compared to traditional taxis, the ride-hailing model offers drivers more independence but less security. Taxi drivers usually worked under a dispatcher, used company-owned vehicles, and followed a set schedule. Ride-hailing drivers use their own car, their own time, and often multiple apps.
The benefits are clear: flexibility, lower entry barriers, and instant access to earnings. But the downsides are just as real: unpredictable income, lack of support, and platform instability. For platforms, that means driver loyalty is fragile. Small changes – like delayed payments or fewer rides – can cause drivers to leave.
Why driver retention matters
Most ride-hailing operators focus heavily on passenger growth. But without enough reliable drivers, demand turns into frustration. When wait times grow or no vehicles are available, users abandon the app. This makes driver retention a key metric – not just for operations but also for brand trust and profitability.
It’s more expensive to onboard a new driver than to keep an experienced one. A stable driver base delivers smoother rides, higher ratings, and better service coverage. If your drivers are churning every few weeks, your entire operation becomes reactive.
Inside the 2025 Gig Driver Report
A recent survey by Everee sheds light on what drivers want - and what makes them quit. In May 2025, 419 gig drivers in the U.S. were surveyed. Most of them worked across multiple apps, including Uber, Lyft and Shipt. The full findings are available in the 2025 Gig Driver Report by Everee.
Key findings:
- 68% of drivers work with two or more gig apps every month. Only 32% stick to one.
- 84% say fast access to earnings is important or very important when deciding where to work.
- 70% of drivers want their money within 24 hours.
- 44% would consider quitting if instant payouts became slower or more expensive.
- 21% would leave if onboarding took too long.
These numbers show how sensitive drivers are to delays, unclear policies, and inefficiencies. A small friction point in your system could be enough to push them to a competitor.
Why drivers leave
The survey also highlighted the most common reasons drivers stop working with a platform:
- 59% left after a sudden drop in pay rates or bonuses
- 48% due to fewer available jobs
- 44% when fees or restrictions were added to instant payouts
- 41% because of safety concerns during pickups or drop-offs
- 39% due to rigid scheduling or lack of flexibility
In short, if drivers feel their earnings or control are at risk, they move on. The ride-hailing industry is too competitive for platforms to assume drivers will stay loyal without constant support and improvement.
What platforms can do to retain drivers
To retain drivers long term, platforms need to act on what drivers value most. According to the same report, the top three areas that would increase loyalty are:
- Guaranteed minimum earnings or predictable income
- Better access to instant payouts
- A smoother, faster onboarding process
Additionally, drivers want to feel that their time is respected, their safety is prioritized, and that they are not left guessing about payments or platform changes.
How ATOM Mobility helps you build driver loyalty
With ATOM Mobility’s platform, ride-hailing operators have access to several features designed specifically with drivers in mind.
The “Offer Your Price” feature allows riders to bid slightly more during high demand or bad traffic conditions, giving drivers the chance to earn extra when it matters most.
Dynamic pricing lets operators automatically raise fares during weekends, holidays, or peak hours so that drivers earn more when demand spikes.
One of the most impactful tools is the instant revenue split system, where a driver’s commission is transferred directly to their Stripe Connect account after every successful ride. This eliminates waiting times and builds trust through real-time, transparent payouts.
To make things even smoother, ATOM Mobility offers a dedicated driver app where drivers can track performance, see earnings, and review ride history.
All of this adds up to a professional, transparent experience for drivers - and a stronger incentive to stay on your platform long term.
A dedicated driver app helps drivers track performance, earnings, and ride history. This kind of visibility increases engagement and reduces confusion. Instead of contacting support for payment questions, drivers can see everything directly in the app. The experience feels more professional and structured – which increases the chance they’ll stay longer.
You can explore the dedicated driver app in more detail on driver app overview.
Faster onboarding leads to faster activation
Another key piece of retention is how quickly drivers can get started. Platforms that make onboarding long or confusing lose drivers before the first ride. ATOM Mobility supports streamlined onboarding flows with pre-filled fields, automatic document validation, and built-in guides. In some cases, drivers can be onboarded, verified, and ready to drive within hours – not days.
A better experience creates loyalty
Drivers are not just users of your app – they are ambassadors of your brand. Every interaction they have, from the first sign-up to the latest payout, shapes how they feel about your platform. If it’s smooth, fair, and rewarding, they’re likely to stay. If not, they’ll be gone before the next weekend rush.
By investing in the right tools and understanding what really matters to drivers, platforms can reduce churn, increase satisfaction, and build a loyal driver base. And in a market where supply is everything, that loyalty pays off.
If you're building a ride-hailing operation and want to give your drivers a reason to stay, ATOM Mobility gives you the technology to make it happen. From instant payments to dynamic pricing and a dedicated driver app, everything is designed to keep your fleet active and engaged – for the long haul.
