Day-by-day cutover schedule
14 business days from kickoff to Gazoop cutover.
Day 1
Discovery + signed migration plan
90-minute discovery with operations lead and senior dispatcher. Snapshot of current Gazoop tenant: vehicle count, driver count, integrations in use (Stripe / PayPal / Twilio / FCM / Google Maps), pricing rule complexity, corporate accounts. Migration plan signed by both sides — includes integration test list and rollback criteria.
Owner: Operations lead + TaxiCloud onboarding
Day 2
Tenant provisioning + integration credentials
TaxiCloud tenant provisioned. Subdomain, branding, councils, and reporting profile applied. Operator supplies integration credentials (Stripe restricted key, Twilio Account SID, FCM service account, Google Maps API key). Webhooks pointed at staging.
Owner: TaxiCloud onboarding
Day 3-4
Gazoop export + clean import
Drivers, vehicles, customers, pricing rules, coverage zones, corporate accounts, and 24-month historic bookings exported from Gazoop and imported into TaxiCloud staging. Data quality report generated — missing fields, duplicate accounts, expired licences flagged for the operator to triage.
Owner: TaxiCloud data team
Day 5-6
Integration testing
Full integration suite executed: card payment, account-pay invoice, SMS booking confirmation, FCM driver push, route ETA, council report export. Every test logged with screenshots. Cutover gate: 100% pass.
Owner: TaxiCloud QA + operator dispatcher
Day 7-8
Dispatcher training
Two 90-minute training sessions for dispatchers, plus async video library. Hands-on with the operator's actual tenant data — not generic demo data. Driver app demo session with two pilot drivers chosen by the operator.
Owner: TaxiCloud Customer Success
Day 9-10
Pilot driver subset (parallel run)
10–20% of fleet runs on TaxiCloud, the rest stays on Gazoop. Typically the airport or executive segment — known drivers, predictable shifts. Dispatchers run side-by-side consoles. Daily 15-minute standup to triage any issues.
Owner: Operator dispatcher + TaxiCloud Customer Success
Day 11-12
Parallel-run weekend
Full fleet runs on TaxiCloud Friday 06:00 through Sunday 23:00 with Gazoop kept hot as a fallback. TaxiCloud Customer Success on-call. Operator decides Monday go/no-go based on the live weekend data, not slideware.
Owner: Operator decision
Day 13
Cutover
Hard cutover. DNS for booking widget and customer apps repointed. Gazoop tenant set read-only for compliance. All new bookings flow through TaxiCloud. Dispatcher consoles closed on Gazoop.
Owner: TaxiCloud Customer Success + operator IT
Day 14
Post-cutover audit + handoff
First 24-hour post-cutover report: booking volume, on-time pickup rate, dispatcher action counts, AI Copilot suggestion acceptance rate. Operator signs handoff. 30-day rollback window opens. Customer Success transitions to weekly check-ins.
Owner: TaxiCloud Customer Success
Dispatcher training checklist
Print this. Tick it off as you train.
Every Gazoop dispatcher should complete this checklist before pilot weekend.
- Dispatcher console walkthrough — bookings, dispatch, zones, driver tracker
- AI Copilot interaction — accept, reject, override, ask-why
- Booking creation — phone, web widget, account-pay, future-time
- Driver assignment — manual, auto, Copilot-suggested
- Pricing rule editor — surge, off-peak, account-rate, airport
- Coverage zones — draw, edit, assign driver pools
- Council reporting — generate, export, attach evidence
- Customer app demo — book, track, rate, account history
- Driver app demo — go online, accept job, navigate, end trip
- Incident handling — refund, dispute, driver no-show, customer complaint
Parallel-run weekend script
Friday 06:00 → Sunday 23:00 — verbatim runbook.
- 01.Friday 06:00 — All dispatchers open the TaxiCloud console; Gazoop consoles minimized to a secondary monitor as fallback only.
- 02.Friday 06:00–09:00 — Morning peak observed live. TaxiCloud Customer Success on-call. AI Copilot suggestion acceptance rate logged every 30 minutes.
- 03.Friday 09:00 — First sync. Compare booking-to-pickup time vs the prior Friday on the legacy platform.
- 04.Friday 17:00–20:00 — Evening peak. Account-pay traffic monitored; corporate-account invoices verified against the legacy tenant.
- 05.Saturday — Night-time-economy operations. Surge pricing rules and dispute handling exercised under live load.
- 06.Sunday — Lower-volume validation. Reporting and exports run to confirm parity with the legacy tenant.
- 07.Sunday 23:00 — Operator and TaxiCloud Customer Success make a joint go/no-go call for the Monday cutover.
Rollback plan
How to roll back to Gazoop if you need to.
- Days 1–30 post-cutover: full rollback supported. Gazoop tenant is held in read-only standby; reactivation takes under 4 hours including DNS and integration repoint.
- Days 31–90: Gazoop tenant kept read-only for compliance. Rollback is technically possible but requires a re-import of the 30-day delta — operators are advised to commit by day 30.
- Day 91+: rollback path formally closes. To date, no operator has requested rollback past the 30-day window.
- Rollback decision authority sits with the operator. TaxiCloud Customer Success provides the data and a recommendation; the operator signs off.
Playbook FAQ
Gazoop playbook — questions from operations leads.
- Can I print this Gazoop migration playbook?
- Yes — this page is designed for print. Use your browser's File → Print. Navigation, footer, and call-to-action banners are hidden in print; the playbook body fills the page with high-contrast type.
- Who owns each step of a Gazoop → TaxiCloud migration?
- Each day in the schedule has a named owner — operations lead, TaxiCloud onboarding, TaxiCloud Customer Success, or a joint pairing. Day-1 sign-off pins the named individuals on both sides for the entire two-week window.
- What if the parallel-run weekend uncovers a regression?
- Cutover is paused. The regression is logged, owners are assigned, and the migration window extends by however long it takes to close the issue — typically 2–5 business days. The signed plan from Day 1 makes this a no-fault, scheduled outcome.
- How long does the Gazoop tenant stay available?
- Read-only for 90 days post-cutover. This covers regulatory inspection, insurance claim windows, and any late corporate-account disputes that reference legacy booking IDs.
