Taxi dispatch software features checklist

Dispatch is where a cab operation is won or lost: the right duty to the right driver, on time, billed correctly. Use this checklist to judge any taxi dispatch software.

Beyond the dispatch board

Dispatch alone is half the job. The software should also carry rate cards, GST billing, driver settlements and document tracking, or you are back to spreadsheets after every shift. Corporate and outstation work need contract pricing and trip sheets too.

Alerts and client experience

WhatsApp and SMS alerts for booking confirmation, driver details and payment keep clients informed without phone calls. For corporate clients, OTP-verified trips and clean monthly invoices matter.
