taxi.eu alternatives for taxi centrals

Disclosure: this page is published by eCabs Technologies, which is one of the options below. Facts about other vendors come from their own websites or public sources, last checked on 6 October 2026. If anything has changed, tell us and we will correct it.

What are FMS and taxi.eu?

According to its own website, fms/Austrosoft (fms Systems GmbH, Vienna) has supplied taxi dispatch systems since 1988 and serves more than 165 taxi centrals in 11 countries. It also operates taxi.eu, a passenger app used by taxi centrals in eight countries. When a central searches for a taxi.eu alternative or FMS alternatives, it is usually looking at both: the dispatch system and the way passengers book.

Why do taxi centrals look for a taxi.eu alternative?

• Shared app or own brand. taxi.eu is a shared app: passengers book through the taxi.eu brand. Centrals that want customers to open an app with their own name and logo look at operator-branded (white-label) apps. Ask any vendor, including fms, what your options are.
• Order flow. A central that leaves FMS needs a plan for the orders that arrive through taxi.eu, during and after the switch.
• Contract review. Centrals that have run the same dispatch for years often review the market at renewal.
• Local rules. Any alternative must handle taximeters and TSE fiscal units, fixed prices within municipal tariff corridors, DATEV exports and Krankenfahrten (patient-transport) billing.

Which alternatives to taxi.eu and FMS 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 includes dispatch, a driver app, an operator-branded passenger app instead of a shared app, phone and AI booking, HALE and Semitron taximeter integration with German TSE, Adyen, Revolut and Fiserv payments, fixed prices within tariff corridors, Krankenfahrten billing with digital signatures, and DATEV and SAP Business One exports. TaxiNow in Frankfurt uses it with taximeter integration and fiscal compliance.

How should you choose a taxi.eu 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?
