Continued reinvestment in technology enables our company to be the market leaders within the taxi industry, allowing us to offer all our customers the highest possible level of service.

The three core areas in development.

Office

  • Booking software.
  • Despatch software.
  • GPS Tracking in all vehicles.
  • Call recording.

Car

  • Mobile data unit.
  • CCTV cameras.
  • Satellite navigation.

Customer

  • Call back.
  • Automated booking system.
  • Automated notification to inform you of your driver and vehicle details. 
  • iPhone & Android app.

 

Through the integration of our three core areas of technology, we are able to reduce booking times, restrict human error and profile customer details, within our secure booking and despatch system.

Our despatching software has the capacity to despatch seven bookings per second, which in turn enables us to reach our customers on time.  90% of our immediate booking requests are met on average within 7 minutes. All our customers can benefit from our free callback service (car due to arrive) and our automated response to where your taxi is. With satellite navigation in all our vehicles your destination could not be nearer.

For both our customer and driver safety we have further invested in CCTV cameras in vehicles.
