Taxi Software and Custom Taxi App Development
Taxi software from Saitami is a custom platform for a taxi company — a dispatch console, a mobile app for passenger and driver, real-time GPS tracking, automatic order assignment to the nearest free car, fare calculation and corporate-client invoicing. We build it around how your company actually works, not as a licence for a foreign platform that takes a cut of every ride. The code, the data and the brand stay with you, prices fixed in EUR, no per-order commission.
The problem with running a taxi company
A taxi company loses rides when the dispatcher assigns by phone and memory, drivers cannot see requests in real time, and passengers wait too long and order from Uber or Bolt next time. Without its own platform the company pays a high commission to a foreign app or works on paper — either way it loses control and revenue. Custom taxi software returns control.
- ✓Slow assignment — a phone dispatcher cannot see which car is nearest and free, so the order reaches the wrong driver and the passenger waits.
- ✓High commission — working entirely through a foreign platform means 15-25% of every ride goes out instead of to the company and the drivers.
- ✓No data — without ride history the company does not know which hours and zones are busy and cannot plan shifts.
- ✓Manual invoicing — corporate clients want a monthly invoice for all rides, and collecting the data from slips takes hours.
- ✓Lost customers — without an app where the passenger sees the car's location and pays by card, the company loses to modern competitors.
What the taxi software includes
A map of all cars in real time, an order queue and manual or automatic assignment. The dispatcher sees the load and reacts with one click.
Booking in a few taps, an upfront fare estimate, car tracking on the map, payment by card or cash and a ride rating.
Accepting requests, navigation to the client, ride status, daily and weekly earnings statistics and the shift schedule.
An order goes automatically to the nearest free car based on GPS position, direction of travel and driver rating.
Day and night tariffs, fixed fares for airport and intercity rides, dynamic pricing at peak demand and promo codes.
Company profiles with monthly invoicing, revenue reports by driver, zone and hour, and export for accounting.
How we build the taxi software
Our process accounts for the fact that a taxi company runs 24/7 and cannot risk an implementation that stops orders. So we roll the platform out in stages and test with a small group of cars before a full launch.
1. Discovery with the dispatcher and drivers
We talk with the dispatcher, drivers and owner, walk through the real order flow and record tariffs, zones and corporate contracts. We leave with a process map and a prioritised roadmap.
2. Dispatch & driver app prototype in 5-7 weeks
We start with the dispatch console and the driver app with GPS. We launch with a small group of cars working with it daily and iterate on weekly sprints.
3. Passenger app and payments
We add the passenger app for iOS and Android, card payment through a payment provider and ride rating. See also mobile app development.
4. Corporate profiles and invoicing
We build company profiles, monthly invoicing and reports. We connect the platform with accounting software for automatic invoice export.
5. Support and evolution
After launch we stay on monthly support with a fixed SLA, monitor GPS and server stability 24/7 and evolve the platform as the fleet grows.
Pricing and timeline
Monthly support from €350, with no per-order commission — however many rides you run, the price is fixed. Full ownership of code and brand. See also custom software.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does taxi software cost?
Taxi software with a dispatch console, a driver app and a passenger app starts from €12,000. A full platform with dynamic pricing, corporate profiles and card payment is €22,000-€45,000 depending on scope. Monthly support from €350, with no per-ride commission.
Does it include a mobile app for iOS and Android?
Yes. We develop a passenger app and a driver app for both platforms. The apps are published under your brand on the App Store and Google Play — passengers download your app, not a foreign platform.
How does automatic order assignment work?
The system tracks each car's GPS position in real time and, on a new order, offers it to the nearest free driver based on distance, direction of travel and rating. The dispatcher can take over assignment manually at any time.
Does it support card payment?
Yes. We integrate a payment provider for card payment in the passenger app, cash with the driver and monthly invoicing for corporate clients. The money goes directly to the company's account.
Why your own platform rather than a licence for a foreign one?
A foreign platform takes a commission on every ride, controls your customer data and can raise prices. Your own platform is a one-time investment — the brand, the data and the revenue stay with you. See custom software.
