The Autocab Migration Checklist
1-page printable · PDF
What's inside
Practical — not a sales pitch
No vendor spin. The checklist is a working operations document: concrete steps drawn from real fleet migrations, with the numbers and templates you actually need on the day.
Step-by-step playbook
Concrete actions, in order. Read it, do it, see results. The checklist walks you from the day you decide to switch through to your first live trip on the new system — every box has an owner and a sequence so nothing gets skipped under pressure.
- Pre-migration audit: contract end date, notice period, data ownership
- Export → import → reconcile, with a verification gate after each step
- A dual-running window so you never go dark on either platform
Real numbers
Drawn from operational research across 7+ verticals — traditional taxi fleets, limo and chauffeur, airport transfer, corporate shuttle, school transport and more. Industry baselines are included so you can sanity-check vendor claims against what fleets like yours actually see.
- Typical go-live timeline: 14 days from kickoff to first live trip
- What dead mileage, missed jobs and setup fees really cost
- Migration windows by fleet size: under 25, 25–250 and 250+ vehicles
No fluff
Written by ex-operators who have run dispatch through a platform switch. No filler chapters, no “thought leadership” — a single printable page you can stick on the wall of the control room and tick off as you go. It is a working document, not a brochure.
- One page, printable — built for the control room, not the boardroom
- Vendor-neutral steps that apply whatever you migrate to
- Driver and customer communication templates you can copy verbatim
Inside the checklist
Data export, cutover and communication
The PDF condenses these three workstreams onto a single page. Here is what each one covers, so you know exactly what you're getting before you download.
1 · Data export steps
The first rule of any platform migration is that your operational data belongs to your business — drivers, vehicles, customers, saved addresses, historical bookings, corporate accounts, zones and tariffs. The checklist tells you exactly what to request from your current provider, and insists on an open format such as CSV rather than a locked PDF report you can’t actually re-import. Get the export early, while your contract is still live and support is still responsive.
2 · The cutover plan
A migration goes wrong when a fleet flips a switch overnight with no fallback. The checklist lays out a staged cutover instead: stand the new platform up in a sandbox with your real fleet structure, redraw your zones on the live map and re-attach your zone-to-zone fares, import and reconcile your data, pilot with a few drivers on live jobs, then dual-run both systems through a short, low-volume window. You only decommission the old system after a clean week on the new one — so you never go dark on either platform.
3 · Driver & customer communication template
The single biggest predictor of a migration drivers don’t resist is clear communication. The PDF includes a copy-and-send template for both audiences. For drivers: what changes (a new app and a new login), what stays the same (their jobs, their pay, their patch), the exact date of the switch, and where to get help on day one. For customers and corporate accounts: a short notice that the booking line and web booker are moving, with reassurance that saved addresses, accounts and history carry over.
Wired through TaxiDex, those comms aren’t just words: instant broadcasts push the announcement to every driver by push and SMS, the white-label passenger app and embeddable web booker keep the customer-facing brand identical, and a named onboarding contact with 24/7 human support is on hand through go-live so nobody is stranded on day one.
Why fleets are switching
What you'll do once the checklist is done
The checklist gets you off Autocab cleanly. TaxiDex is what most fleets land on — a multi-tenant cloud console with white-label passenger and driver apps, live in 14 days with 24/7 human support.
Before you download
Questions operators ask first
The five questions that come up most about getting your data out of Autocab and switching cleanly.
Is the Autocab Migration Checklist really free?
Yes. It is a free, one-page printable PDF. Drop your name and work email and we send it instantly — no spam and no auto-enrollment in a marketing sequence. It is a practical operations document, not a sales funnel.
Does the checklist only work if I switch to TaxiDex?
No. The export, cutover and communication steps are vendor-neutral and apply whatever system you migrate to. We wrote it from real migrations off Autocab, iCabbi and Cordic, so it is useful even if you are still comparing platforms.
Can I get my data out of Autocab?
Your operational data — drivers, vehicles, customers, saved addresses, historical bookings, account clients, zones and tariffs — belongs to your business. The checklist lists exactly what to request and insists on an open format such as CSV rather than a locked PDF report, so the data can actually be imported into a new system.
How long does a migration off Autocab take?
Typical fleets go live in 14 days from kickoff. We migrate driver data, historical bookings and customer accounts with zero downtime by dual-running both systems through a short cutover window, then decommissioning the old platform only after a clean week on the new one.
What about driver and customer communication?
The PDF includes a driver communication template and a customer notice you can copy almost verbatim — covering what changes, what stays the same, the date of the switch, and where to get help on day one. Clear comms is the single biggest factor in a migration drivers don't resist.
