FAQ
Autocab → TaxiCloud in Manchester.
- Why switch from Autocab to TaxiCloud in Manchester?
- Manchester operators on Autocab typically move when they need Manchester 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 Manchester specifically — see the city detail for the regulator-aware features that matter.
- How long does a Autocab → TaxiCloud migration take in Manchester?
- A typical Manchester 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 Manchester?
- 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.
