01About
Technology advice shaped around how driving schools actually work
Giovanni Livia is a USA-based software solutions consultant with more than 20 years of experience helping businesses plan, build and adopt technology. He works with NewAgeSysIT, the team behind DrivingSoftware, where he advises driving school owners on platform strategy, migration and growth.
Driving schools have their own set of problems: schedules that change by the hour, instructors who work from a car rather than a desk, parents who want answers right away, and state rules that demand clean records. Giovanni’s focus is making those problems smaller, with software the school owns, shaped around how it already works.
Focus areas
- Driving school management platforms
- Scheduling and online booking
- Student and instructor apps
- Payments and lesson packages
- Data migration and rollout
- Compliance and reporting
Working principle
Good software should fit how your school already runs, not the other way round.
Every engagement starts with your workflow: how students book, how instructors get their day, how money and records move. The decisions about what to build, what to move first and how to switch come after.

What Giovanni helps owners decide
The questions driving school owners bring most often, from day-to-day operations to long-term growth.
Running the school

01
Rent or own your software
Compare years of subscription fees with a platform your school owns outright.

-
03
Moving off spreadsheets and WhatsApp
What to move first, in what order, and how to keep lessons running while you switch.
-
04
Multi-location operations
One system across every office, instructor and vehicle, instead of one account per branch.

Student hours, instructor credentials and certificates kept ready for an audit.

Let students and parents book, pay and reschedule without calling the office.

An instructor app that gets used every day, with training that sticks.
