Taxi dispatch software for South-East Europe
Taxi operators in Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania and Greece run on eCabs Technologies. Taxi Fiume in Rijeka and Volt in Sofia switched from legacy systems, and Blue in Bucharest and Taxi.gr in Athens launched on the platform, each with local payments, languages and regulation.
Built around local rules
Fiscal rules for taxis differ by country, and they are changing. Croatia has required fiscalised taxi receipts since 2013, and its Fiskalizacija 2.0 reform extends fiscalisation from 2026, including e-invoices between businesses. Greece requires card terminals in taxis linked to tax reporting. Bulgaria and Romania require fiscal devices connected to the tax authority. We map your country’s requirements in discovery, before anything goes live.
Modern booking. Cash still welcome.
Cash remains part of everyday taxi operations across South-East Europe. Moving to a modern platform should let passengers keep paying the way they prefer, while giving your team a clearer view of every ride and payment.
Give passengers an app under your own brand, with cash and digital payment options. Keep phone bookings and street-hail trips part of the operation, and bring them together with app, web, advance and business bookings in one dispatch system.
Record cash, in-app and card-terminal payments against completed trips, with visibility into driver earnings, balances and settlement. When a driver picks up a passenger on the street, the trip, taximeter fare and payment method can be recorded in the driver app and included in reporting and driver accounts.
- Payment choice. Passengers can pay in cash, or by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay in your own branded app.
- Every payment recorded. Cash, in-app and card-terminal payments are taken into account in driver earnings and balances, with settlement set up around your fleet structure and accounting.
- Street-hail trips. Drivers record a street pickup in the driver app with the fare and payment method; a trip can start a connected taximeter or the platform’s digital meter.
- Cash deposits. In Malta, drivers deposit cash at a machine connected to the platform, and each deposit updates their balance. Other cash-deposit machines can be connected through APIs, scoped in discovery around your hardware and supplier.
- Phone bookings stay. Your call centre keeps serving the customers who prefer to call, alongside app and web bookings in the same dispatch.
- Your brand, your customers. Taxi Fiume kept its brand, its call centre and its customer relationships through a migration planned around its operation.
Your passengers get more choice. Your team gets better visibility. You keep the local brand and relationships you have spent years building.
Associations and co-operatives
Many operators in the region are associations with a shared phone number and many owner-drivers. The staged switch is designed for that: dispatchers first, then drivers in small groups, with your current system as the fallback until the members decide to cut over.
Operators in the region
- Taxi Fiume, Rijeka: switched after more than ten years on the same dispatch platform, while running 24/7
- Volt, Sofia: a structured migration from a legacy SaaS platform
- Blue, Bucharest: a ride-hailing service launched from zero
- Taxi.gr, Athens: digitising a traditional taxi market
This is general information to help you plan, not legal advice. Rules change, so we confirm the current requirements for your city during discovery.
Your migration blueprint
Every stage is a decision, not a date.
Shaped by our own migration at eCabs Malta between 2017 and 2019: an adaptable framework, set out in a blueprint built around your operation. Our team leads the work, each stage ends with a joint review, and dates are agreed after discovery.

FAQ
Questions operators ask
Which fiscal rules apply to our taxis?
It depends on your country and city. Germany requires a TSE fiscal unit on taximeters, Croatia fiscalises every consumer receipt from 2026, and Bulgaria, Romania and Greece each have their own requirements. We map your exact requirements in discovery, before anything goes live.
Can we switch dispatch systems without disrupting our operation?
That is what the plan is built around. Your current system keeps running underneath every stage until you decide to cut over, so phones, bookings and drivers always have a working system.
Will our drivers accept a new app?
Drivers are brought across in small groups with training and a clear support contact, starting with a pilot group, and the driver app runs on an ordinary smartphone. Issues from each group are fixed before the next group moves.
Can we bring our customers and booking history with us?
Yes. We import the customer, account, address, booking-history, driver, vehicle, zone and tariff data you can lawfully and practically export from your current system, and check its quality and gaps before anything goes live.
