Hand-written cutover plan for the Autocab → TaxiCloud migration in Glasgow. Migration window: 9 working days.
- Data export

FAQ
Autocab → TaxiCloud in Glasgow.
- Why switch from Autocab to TaxiCloud in Glasgow?
- Glasgow operators on Autocab typically move when they need Glasgow City Council Licensing-specific features the current platform doesn't ship, when consolidation across affiliate bases is hard to operate, or when pricing for the local fleet size becomes uneconomic. TaxiCloud is calibrated for Glasgow specifically — see the city detail for the regulator-aware features that matter.
- How long does a Autocab → TaxiCloud migration take in Glasgow?
- A typical Glasgow Autocab migration runs 4–8 weeks: 2 weeks of data export, 1–2 weeks of parallel-run with both systems live, 1–2 weeks of staff training, then full cut-over. We do not require any disruption to live dispatch during the switchover.
- Can we keep our Autocab driver app phone numbers in Glasgow?
- Yes. Driver phone numbers, vehicle plates, and rider account history all migrate. The cut-over keeps every rider's saved address, every driver's payout setup, and every corporate account's billing configuration.
