The migration
How Liverpool Cruise Direct migrated off Autocab.
Liverpool Cruise Direct runs out of Bootle with a fleet covering all three of Liverpool's distinctive operating tempos — Liverpool Cruise Terminal arrivals (typically 60-90 passengers per arrival, 30-50 cruise calls per year), Anfield + Goodison Premier League matchday surges, and LPL airport feeder work. The fleet sat on Autocab for five years; their migration trigger was Autocab's lack of native cruise terminal manifest ingest — controllers handled cruise arrivals as 60-90 separate bookings rather than multi-pickup containers.
TaxiCloud migration ran over 8 working days. The headline migration scope was cruise terminal manifest ingest configuration + Anfield/Goodison fixture-schedule pre-positioning logic + LPL airport flow handling. Drivers, vehicles, customers, pricing rules with cruise + matchday + airport surcharges, and a 120-day historic booking window all imported.
First quarter on TaxiCloud: 26% lift in cruise revenue per arrival via multi-pickup container handling + automatic per-passenger M&G billing as Stripe line items; Anfield matchday utilisation lifted 22% via AI Copilot pre-positioning 12-15 minutes ahead of full-time; LPL airport no-shows dropped 27% via FlightAware live ingest.
“Liverpool Cruise Terminal arrivals were 60-90 separate bookings on Autocab. TaxiCloud handles them as a multi-pickup container — same revenue but 26% higher because M&G billing posts automatically per passenger.”
