Taxi Dispatch Softwarefor Zurich
Cloud taxi dispatch software for Zurich fleets — automated assignment, live tracking, and in-app payments.
If you run a taxi fleet, the money leaks in the gaps — idle drivers, empty return trips, and no-shows you can't prove. Dispatch software's real job is to close those gaps: put every job in the right car automatically and give you one live picture of the whole fleet.
Taxi Dispatch Software in Zurich runs on TaxiDex — cloud taxi dispatch software trusted by taxi, limo and private-hire fleets across dozens of cities worldwide.

The state of taxi dispatch software in Zurich
Why taxi dispatch software looks nothing like it did five years ago
The pressure is real and measurable. App-based platforms now run the large majority of ride-hailing trips — in New York City, Uber and Lyft together move roughly six times more passengers a day than yellow cabs. Riders didn't switch for the vehicle; they switched for the experience: a live map of the car coming, a price known upfront, and a driver they can rate. For a traditional fleet, matching that experience is no longer optional — it is the price of staying in the market. Cloud dispatch closes the gap by giving your own passengers that same white-label app, live tracking and fare estimate, while automated assignment squeezes out the dead mileage and idle time that quietly thin your margins.

The hard parts
What actually makes taxi dispatch software hard — and how TaxiDex handles it
Dispatchers assign jobs from memory over the radio, so the nearest free car is often missed and pickups run late.
Automated assignment scores proximity, ETA and vehicle class in milliseconds — with a one-tap manual override when your controller knows better.
Dead mileage and idle time between fares quietly eat your margin.
Live GPS plus follow-on job queuing keep cars earning between jobs instead of driving back empty.
Cash rides and 'the meter was wrong' disputes are impossible to reconcile at the end of a shift.
Every trip is logged with fare, distance, route and driver, so cash reconciles automatically and disputes have an audit trail.
Riders default to whichever service shows a live map and an upfront price — and that's rarely the phone-only cab firm.
Your own white-label app gives passengers the same live tracking, ETA and fare estimate, so you compete on experience instead of losing on it.
Since COVID, drivers left for delivery work with more predictable hours, and getting them back is hard.
Higher utilisation and fewer empty miles mean each driver earns more per shift — the single biggest lever for retaining them.
Built for Zurich
Taxi Dispatch Software that fits how Zurich operates
Running a fleet in Zurich has its own rules. TaxiDex is cloud taxi dispatch software tuned for the local market — not a generic tool bolted on.
Local market
What to know about taxi dispatch software in Zurich
The market realities that shape how a Zurich fleet should set up dispatch, pricing and compliance.
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.
Regulator / licensing: Canton and City of Zurich taxi ordinance (Taxibewilligung); Switzerland has no single national taxi law. TaxiDex tracks the driver and vehicle documents it requires and alerts you before any expire.

How do I switch my Zurich fleet to TaxiDex without downtime?
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) — at least 20% cheaper than Autocab, iCabbi and Cordic, 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 but at least 20% cheaper than Autocab, iCabbi and Cordic — 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.
