White-glove migration · 6 days

Migrate from Onde taxi dispatch software to TaxiCloud.

Onde migration in 6 days: drivers, vehicles, customers, pricing rules, coverage zones, and historic bookings imported clean. Parallel-run weekend included on Pro and above.

Migrating from Onde to TaxiCloud takes 6 business days end-to-end. Our white-glove team imports every record from your existing tenant, configures the compliance reports for your authority, and runs a parallel-run weekend so dispatchers train on live data before cutover. Available on Pro (£149/month) and above as part of onboarding.

Onde migration deep-dive

How we migrate Onde fleets to TaxiCloud.

Onde migrations are typically driven by three pressure points: the operation has outgrown an app-launch platform and needs a deeper live dispatch console, the rule-based assignment engine cannot explain its decisions to dispatchers the way a generative Copilot can, and the fleet has moved into a regulated UK or European market where Onde's app-first content does not cover operator returns, council reports, or PBefG/NCC separation. Operators evaluating modern alternatives most often pilot TaxiCloud on their airport or multi-base segment first, where the dispatch-room depth gap is most visible.

Onde's data export path is clean — it is a modern SaaS. Drivers (with vehicle assignment), vehicles, customer accounts (with saved-card metadata and ride history), pricing rules (with surge and zone tariffs), and a historic booking archive export via Onde's API and CSV. Because Onde centres the branded app, the branded passenger-app experience is preserved through cutover: the migration team maps Onde's app configuration onto TaxiCloud's white-label apps so customers see continuity, while the dispatch-room console and compliance objects are stood up underneath.

The Onde parallel-run window typically runs over a Tuesday-to-Friday cycle. The 6-day total cutover excludes the prior weekend; data export runs Monday, configuration Tuesday, white-label app and integration testing Wednesday, parallel-run Thursday-Friday, cutover Saturday morning. Driver onboarding to the new branded app rolls out alongside, so the customer-facing brand experience never goes dark during the switch.

Onde migration gotchas

Where Onde migrations bite, and how we handle it.

  • Gotcha

    Onde rule-based assignment cannot explain decisions to dispatchers

    TaxiCloud resolution

    TaxiCloud's AI Copilot surfaces explainable reassignment suggestions ranked by ETA and revenue, and drafts customer SMS — dispatcher overhead drops in pilot deployments.

  • Gotcha

    Onde's app-first content lacks UK/EU regulatory objects

    TaxiCloud resolution

    TaxiCloud ships UK PHV operator returns, council-licensing reports, PBefG/§49 separation and NCC foglio di servizio as first-class objects, configured for your authority during migration.

  • Gotcha

    Onde charges a separate setup fee for the white-label apps

    TaxiCloud resolution

    TaxiCloud includes white-label passenger and driver apps on Pro and above with no setup fee; the branded experience is preserved through cutover.

  • Gotcha

    Onde lacks airport flight-tracking and a true feeder queue

    TaxiCloud resolution

    TaxiCloud's airport module flight-tracks arrivals, runs a FIFO feeder queue and reshuffles ETAs automatically for high-volume airport work.

Migration FAQ

Switching from Onde, answered.

How long does migration from Onde take?
Typical cutover is 6 business days end-to-end. The timeline includes audit, tenant configuration, data import, integration testing, parallel-run weekend, and live cutover. Available on Pro (£149/month) and above as part of onboarding — no separate setup fee.
What does the parallel-run weekend look like?
A small driver subset (typically 10-20% of fleet, often the airport or executive segment) runs on TaxiCloud alongside your existing platform. Dispatchers train against real bookings; we monitor side-by-side. Operators decide cutover go/no-go based on the live data, not slideware.
What data gets imported?
Drivers with licensing data, vehicles with inspection records, customer database with booking history, pricing rules, coverage zones, corporate accounts with expense codes, and a 24-month historic booking archive. Pro Ultra extends the historic window to 7 years for regulatory and insurance use cases.
What happens if integration tests fail?
We do not cut over until integration tests pass. The migration plan signed at Day 1 includes the full integration list (Stripe, PayPal, Twilio, FCM, Google Maps, your custom integrations). If something fails during testing, we extend the migration window — never cut over with broken integrations.
Can I roll back to {{competitor.name}} after cutover?
Yes. The first 30 days post-cutover include rollback support. Your Onde tenant is kept available (read-only for compliance) for 90 days post-cutover. Most operators do not roll back, but the option exists. After 90 days, the rollback path closes formally; we have not had an operator request rollback past the 30-day window.
