Cutover narrative
iCabbi → TaxiCloud, Sheffield-specific.
Hand-written cutover plan for the iCabbi → TaxiCloud migration in Sheffield. Migration window: 7 working days.
- Data export
- Sheffield iCabbi export pulls cleanly. Sheffield City Council's CAZ-zone audit (Sheffield introduced Clean Air Zone in 2023) needs explicit export — verify against TaxiCloud's Sheffield CAZ template during day-one config.
- Parallel run
- Standard Tuesday-to-Saturday parallel-run. University-term cycle drives Sheffield demand pattern; cutover outside week-1 and week-12 university calendar peaks.
- Risks to manage
- Sheffield + Doncaster + Rotherham cross-boundary bookings under iCabbi multi-base need explicit per-council fare-rule mapping.
- Student-population booking concentration risks dispatcher misconfiguration; calibrate weekend-evening surge bands during week one.
- Wins post-cutover
- Sheffield Uni Fleet-style university-contract operators get integrated student-card billing on TaxiCloud (iCabbi requires bolt-on).
- CAZ audit trail integrated into booking record; SCC inspections produce evidence in one export.
FAQ
iCabbi → TaxiCloud in Sheffield.
- Why switch from iCabbi to TaxiCloud in Sheffield?
- Sheffield operators on iCabbi typically move when they need Sheffield City Council Hackney + PHV 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 Sheffield specifically — see the city detail for the regulator-aware features that matter.
- How long does a iCabbi → TaxiCloud migration take in Sheffield?
- A typical Sheffield 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 Sheffield?
- 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.
