Cordic alternatives for taxi operators

Why do operators look for a Cordic alternative?

Cordic Ltd supplies booking and dispatch software to taxi and private hire operators. Looking at alternatives to Cordic does not mean something is wrong with it: many operators simply review the market when a contract comes up for renewal or when the business changes. UK operators reviewing their dispatch usually check the same requirements:

• Account customers. Corporate accounts and their invoicing must carry across in planned steps.
• Booking records. History has to be kept and stay exportable, for your own reporting and for any future move.
• Phone bookings. Calls should land in the same dispatch as app and web orders, on the same numbers.
• Your own brand. A passenger app and web booking in your name, with the customer data owned by your company.
• Ownership and independence. Ask any vendor who owns it and how your commercial data is protected.
• Pricing model. Some operators want published prices they can model before a sales call.

Use this list to compare Cordic competitors against each other, and against staying where you are.

Which Cordic alternatives should you consider?

1. eCabs Technologies

Dispatch and ride-hailing software built for and run on eCabs’ own taxi operation in Malta, which has competed with Bolt since 2017 and with Uber since 2022. It covers dispatch with unlimited dispatcher seats, a driver app, an operator-branded passenger app, phone and AI booking, corporate accounts, and open APIs and webhooks. Taxi Fiume in Croatia moved to it after more than ten years on its old system.

• Best for: established taxi and private hire operators that want to move without downtime and keep their own brand and data.
• Pricing: From €600 a month plus €0.10 per completed trip on Starter (up to 5,000 trips a month); Professional and Growth plans above, custom Enterprise+ over 30,000 trips. Also published in Swiss francs; unlimited dispatcher seats.
• Switching approach: Eight stages with go/no-go gates, from discovery and a pilot to cutover. Your current system keeps running until you decide to cut over; dates agreed after discovery.

2. iCabbi

A Dublin-based dispatch provider, majority-owned by RCI Bank and Services (Renault group) since 2018, with listed regions including the UK, Ireland, the Nordics, Benelux, Iberia, North America, Australia and New Zealand.

• Best for: operators mainly in the UK, Ireland or North America who want a large provider with a long customer list in those markets.
• Pricing: per active driver; not published.
• Switching approach: an implementation and migration team, with parallel testing before go-live.

3. Autocab

A long-established UK booking and dispatch provider, owned by Uber since April 2021, serving the UK and US with customers in 33 countries. It runs the iGo job-sharing marketplace.

• Best for: UK operators who want access to the iGo job-sharing network.
• Pricing: not published.
• Switching approach: ask Autocab directly.

4. TaxiCaller

A self-service cloud dispatch system that the operator sets up, with a free trial.

• Best for: small and mid-size fleets that want to start quickly.
• Pricing: from about US$28 per vehicle per month (according to GetApp).
• Switching approach: self-service; you set it up yourself.

5. TaxiDex

A newer dispatch provider, founded in 2020, with published per-driver pricing and a migration offer aimed at fleets leaving Autocab or iCabbi.

• Best for: operators who want the lowest per-driver price and a fixed two-week migration.
• Pricing: £7–11 per driver per month.
• Switching approach: a 14-day migration protocol with rollback.

How should you choose a Cordic alternative?

1. Data export. Can you export customers, saved addresses, corporate accounts, booking history, drivers, vehicles, zones and tariffs? Ask the new vendor to review a real sample export before anything is imported.
2. Parallel running. Can your current system keep running while drivers and accounts move across in groups, so you only cut over when you are ready?
3. Integrations. Check taximeters, fiscal units such as the German TSE, card terminals, accounting exports (for example DATEV or SAP Business One), phone numbers and call routing.
4. Own-brand app. Will your passenger app carry your brand, and who owns the app store listing and the customer data?
5. Pricing transparency. Are prices published? What drives the bill: vehicles, active drivers, completed trips or a revenue share? Are dispatcher seats limited?

For UK operators, add one more check: how account customers and phone bookings are handled on the day each group moves across.

How do you switch from Cordic?

Our page on switching from Cordic explains what we import and how account customers move. In short: discovery, setup, dispatcher training, a pilot with a small driver group, expansion in batches, your own branded passenger app, then cutover when you decide. Cordic stays live as your fallback until then, and each step is tested before the next one begins. See how the switch works, view our published pricing or talk to us about your setup.
