Cutover narrative
iCabbi → TaxiCloud, Glasgow-specific.
Hand-written cutover plan for the iCabbi → TaxiCloud migration in Glasgow. Migration window: 8 working days.
- Data export
- iCabbi Glasgow operators export driver and vehicle records cleanly, but Glasgow City Council's quarterly return historical CSV needs a manual reconciliation pass — GCC's reporting columns diverged from iCabbi's standard format in late 2024.
- Parallel run
- Standard Tuesday-to-Saturday parallel-run. Glasgow Airport GLA Friday-evening peak hits inside the window; Old Firm event days falling inside the cutover week should push the cutover to the following Monday.
- Risks to manage
- GCC quarterly return reconciliation lag means month 1 post-cutover should produce both iCabbi-format and TaxiCloud-format returns for cross-verification.
- Glasgow Hackney + PHV joint-fleet operators need explicit fleet-class import-pass mapping.
- Wins post-cutover
- GCC quarterly return automation typically recovers 30-45 hours per quarter of finance-lead time.
- Cross-fleet (Hackney + PHV) dispatcher console removes the iCabbi two-tab workflow Glasgow operators commonly describe.
FAQ
iCabbi → TaxiCloud in Glasgow.
- Why switch from iCabbi to TaxiCloud in Glasgow?
- Glasgow operators on iCabbi 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 iCabbi → TaxiCloud migration take in Glasgow?
- A typical Glasgow iCabbi 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 iCabbi 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.
