Does BLACKDATALANE transfer the money to my drivers?

No. We compute the net, generate the settlement document and track paid/pending. The actual transfer stays with your bank — your money never touches us.

Does it handle taxes or 1099s?

No. BLACKDATALANE is not a tax or payroll processor; it gives you the clean, consistent ride-level records your accountant works from.

Can I see what I paid a driver three months ago?

Yes. Settlement history keeps each period as issued, and commission snapshots guarantee old reports never drift.

Back to home

Chauffeur payroll, without the spreadsheet

Paying chauffeurs has two hard parts: computing the right number and proving it later. BLACKDATALANE automates both — net per driver computed from your real Blacklane rides, a PDF as the paper trail and a paid/pending status per period. You make the payment with your bank, as always; the math and the record live here.

Sound familiar?

Figuring out what each chauffeur is owed takes a spreadsheet session every single week
Disputes come weeks later and there's no document of what was paid and why
Paid? Pending? It lives in someone's head or a WhatsApp thread
Each commission change risks silently rewriting old numbers

What you get with BLACKDATALANE

Net per chauffeur computed automatically for any period
A settlement PDF as the paper trail for every payment
"Paid" tracking per driver and period, with history (Business)
Commission snapshots per ride: what you paid is what the record says, forever

How it works

BLACKDATALANE doesn't move money — it removes the error-prone half of payroll: computing and documenting. Finished rides sync from Blacklane, each one carries the commission it had at ride time, and the panel turns them into a net amount and a PDF per chauffeur. You pay through your bank and mark the period as paid.
