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.
