Side-by-side
TaxiDex vs Cordic —cloud-native & per-driver
Cordic has a long heritage in UK taxi dispatch. TaxiDex was born cloud-native in 2018. Here's where each shines and how migration works.
Pain points
Why fleets evaluate alternatives to Cordic
Three themes come up again and again when operators ask us to compare. Here's the honest version of each — the friction, and how TaxiDex answers it.
Where Cordic gets friction
On-prem heritage means upgrades hurt
Cordic's older deployments still involve on-site servers and PC clients. Upgrades require downtime, the IT team's calendar, and a quiet Sunday — every release is a small project rather than a non-event.
- On-site servers and installed PC clients to maintain
- Upgrades scheduled around IT availability and downtime windows
- Hardware and OS dependencies that age with your office estate
App store feedback is mixed
Branded driver and passenger apps work, but reviews flag stability issues on weak signal and slow ride accept. Passengers compare you to Uber, and a laggy accept screen costs you the booking.
- Stability complaints on weak or intermittent mobile signal
- Slow ride-accept flow that frustrates drivers mid-shift
- Passenger expectations set by consumer ride-hailing apps
Licensing complexity
Per-PC licenses, per-driver modules, and support packages priced separately make it hard to forecast monthly total cost of ownership. The real number only emerges once every add-on is itemised.
- Per-PC and per-driver licensing that multiplies with the fleet
- Modules and support packages quoted separately
- Total cost of ownership that's difficult to forecast month to month
How TaxiDex answers it
100% cloud, browser-based
No servers, no installers, no IT calendar dance. TaxiDex runs entirely in the browser, and updates roll out silently every week. Your dispatchers just refresh and see the new build — there is nothing to schedule and nothing to patch.
- Zero on-site infrastructure — runs in any modern browser
- Weekly updates roll out silently with zero downtime
- Dispatchers refresh to the latest build, no IT involvement
Modern, offline-tolerant apps
The white-label Flutter driver and passenger apps persist the trip queue locally, accept jobs instantly with haptic feedback, and take Apple Pay and Google Pay on the web booker. Your passengers won't know they switched.
- Trip queue persisted locally so a dropped signal never loses a job
- Instant ride-accept with haptic confirmation
- Apple Pay and Google Pay on the embeddable web booker
One per-driver price
TaxiDex bills £11/driver (Starter), £9/driver (Pro) and from £7/driver (Enterprise) per month — everything in the box, with setup fees visible up front. You forecast your software cost from trip volume, not from a stack of per-seat licenses.
- Three clear tiers: £11/driver Starter, £9/driver Pro, from £7/driver Enterprise
- Every feature included — no separately priced add-on modules
- Setup fees shown up front, with no long-term contract

Cloud, not on-prem
Nothing to install, nothing to patch
On-prem deployments turn every upgrade into a project: on-site servers, installed PC clients, downtime windows and the IT team's calendar. TaxiDex runs entirely in the browser, so there is no infrastructure to own and nothing to schedule.
Under the hood you get the full enterprise toolkit: a live operations map with driver markers, status halos and an SOS panic panel; an AI auto-dispatch model; and a drag-and-drop dispatch board for moving jobs between drivers in real time. New builds ship every week with zero downtime — dispatchers just refresh.
Documented migration playbook
We move your Cordic data for you
Switching platforms sounds risky — it doesn't have to be. Migration off Cordic follows a documented playbook: we import your customers, drivers, vehicles, zones and trip history, configure your white-label apps, and then run both systems in parallel.
You cut over only once your dispatchers are comfortable, with 24/7 human support throughout and a zero-booking-loss target. Most fleets are fully live on TaxiDex within 14 days, on a fixed-cost migration plan agreed up front.
The verdict
Which one is right for you?
An honest read on when each platform makes sense — and how straightforward the switch is if you choose TaxiDex.
Pick Cordic if…
You're committed to on-prem deployments and don't want to move to cloud. For fleets with an established on-site estate and a reason to keep data in the building, staying put can be the pragmatic call.
Pick TaxiDex if…
You want a fully cloud platform with predictable per-driver pricing and modern, offline-tolerant apps — and weekly product velocity instead of scheduled, downtime-prone upgrades.
Migration is straightforward
Migration off Cordic follows a documented playbook. We import your customers, drivers, zones and trip history, then parallel-run both systems. Typical go-live is 14 days, with a zero-booking-loss target.
The migration plan
What switching from Cordic looks like
A fixed-cost, zero-downtime path from your current on-prem setup to a fully branded TaxiDex cloud deployment.
Is TaxiDex fully cloud, or does it need on-site servers like Cordic?
TaxiDex is 100% cloud and browser-based — there are no on-site servers, no installers and no PC clients to maintain. Updates roll out silently every week with zero downtime, so your dispatchers simply refresh the browser to get the latest build. There's nothing for your IT team to schedule or patch.
How is TaxiDex pricing different from Cordic's per-PC / per-driver licensing?
Cordic deployments typically involve per-PC licenses, per-driver modules and separately priced support packages, which makes monthly total cost of ownership hard to forecast. TaxiDex uses one per-driver flat fee across three tiers — £11/driver (Starter), £9/driver (Pro) and from £7/driver (Enterprise) per month — with everything in the box and setup fees shown up front. There's no long-term contract, so you can cancel anytime.
Will the driver app work on weak mobile signal?
Yes. The white-label Flutter driver app persists the trip queue locally and confirms ride accepts instantly with haptic feedback, so a dropped or intermittent signal never loses a job. The embeddable web booker also takes Apple Pay and Google Pay, so the passenger experience matches what riders expect from consumer apps.
Can you migrate our data off Cordic without losing bookings?
Migration off Cordic follows a documented playbook. We import your customers, drivers, vehicles, zones and trip history, configure your white-label apps, and then run both systems in parallel with a zero-booking-loss target. You cut over only once your dispatchers are comfortable, with 24/7 human support throughout. Typical go-live is 14 days.
Does TaxiDex offer white-label passenger and driver apps?
Yes. Like Cordic, TaxiDex provides white-label iOS and Android passenger and driver apps under your own brand — and white-label branding extends to a custom domain on the cloud console. Most fleets are fully live within 14 days.
What's included beyond dispatch?
Every TaxiDex tier includes the full platform: a live operations map with driver markers, status halos and an SOS panic panel; an AI auto-dispatch model; a drag-and-drop dispatch board; the enterprise fare engine with zones, surge and per-region tax; finance and Stripe Connect driver payouts; marketing broadcasts and loyalty; analytics and AI demand forecasting; plus CO2e and EV-fleet sustainability tracking — all in the box rather than as separately priced add-ons.
