Private Hire Software for Zurich
Private hire (PHV) dispatch software for Zurich: licensing-aware, cloud, and mobile-first.
Private hire is a compliance business as much as a transport one. Miss a driver's licence expiry or fail to show who dispatched a job, and it isn't a bad review — it's your operator licence on the line at the next audit.
Private Hire Software in Zurich runs on TaxiDex — cloud dispatch software built for taxi, limo and private-hire fleets, and priced per active driver.

What a Zurich fleet has to get right
Zurich, Switzerland sits in Europe, and the operating detail here is specific enough that a generic dispatch setup will fight you. Licensing runs through Canton and City of Zurich taxi ordinance (Taxibewilligung); Switzerland has no single national taxi law, which decides which driver and vehicle documents you must hold and keep current. Fares price and settle in CHF, and riders expect to pay with TWINT, PostFinance/Maestro, Apple Pay, Visa/Mastercard or cash — so the payment rails are not an afterthought, they are how the money actually arrives. Airport work means Zurich Airport (Kloten) (ZRH), each with its own permit rules, staging area and fee structure to build into the fare. And the rider-facing side has to work in German, not just English.
Switzerland regulates taxis canton-by-canton, so Zurich issues its own Taxibewilligung with rules distinct from neighbouring Geneva or Basel.
TWINT, the Swiss bank-owned mobile payment app, is ubiquitous domestically and increasingly the expected cashless option alongside high-value CHF cash.
Zurich taxi tariffs are among the highest in Europe, and only specially permitted taxis may use the official ranks at Zurich Airport.

The state of private hire software in Zurich
Why private hire software looks nothing like it did five years ago
Private hire is the fastest-growing licensed transport segment — and the most heavily policed. In England alone, more than 260 separate licensing authorities each set their own standards, drivers must hold enhanced background checks that are re-verified on a rolling basis (every six months via the update service), and enforcement increasingly targets out-of-area operating and lapsed licences.

The hard parts
What actually makes private hire software hard — and how TaxiDex handles it
An expired driver or vehicle licence slips through and puts your operator licence at risk.
Document and licence expiry tracking flags every renewal well before it lapses.
Regulators expect a record of exactly who dispatched what, and when.
Every operator and dispatcher action is logged with a timestamped audit trail.
Account customers want credit terms and statements, not a card charge per ride.
Account/credit billing issues periodic statements and handles B2B customers cleanly.

How do I switch my Zurich fleet to TaxiDex safely?
We migrate your drivers, vehicles, customer accounts and live bookings from your current system (Autocab, iCabbi, Cordic or spreadsheets), run both in parallel during a 14-day proof-of-concept, then cut over. Pricing is a simple per-driver rate (from £7/driver a month) — under the rates commonly quoted for Autocab, iCabbi and Cordic at every tier, and 20% or more under them from Professional upwards, with a low one-time setup.
Switching
Moving off Autocab, iCabbi, Cordic — or a pile of spreadsheets
Most Zurichoperators aren't starting from zero — they're locked into a legacy dispatch system with steep per-driver fees, heavy setup charges, an on-prem server to babysit, and a contract that makes leaving feel risky. TaxiDex is built for the switch: it's cloud (no server), priced per driver and under Autocab, iCabbi and Cordic at every tier — by 20% or more from Professional upwards, with no trip overage and no lock-in — and we run your old system and TaxiDex side by side during a 14-day proof-of-concept — so you cut over only once it's proven on your real jobs.
