We are delighted to announce the launch of The Exchange. With the potential to encompass some 60,000 taxis in the UK and IE this network will be hands down the largest united pool of taxis available to passengers today. And it is all done through the local fleet. This means that a local taxi firm, who uses iCabbi taxi dispatch technology, can now offer their passengers access to local, national and soon, a global network. Critically, this collaborative approach to retaining, and winning bookings for the taxi and private hire sector serves to push ridehail back from taking offer passenger transport in cities and towns across the UK, something that is becoming an ever growing problem as more and more councils issue licenses. The Exchange works in one of three ways:
Dispatch Networking
Trade to Win! Send bookings that you cannot service into The Exchange. Stop your passengers from going to Ridehail. Take bookings from The Exchange to build extra demand for your fleet.
App Networking
Every time your passengers leave town you risk losing them to a ride hail app. They download it while they’re away and use it when they get back home. Not anymore. With the iCabbi Exchange your passenger can use your app anywhere. So even when they’re away your passenger is home on your app.
Phone Call Networking
Some people love apps, others prefer a call. You can’t call ridehail but you can call taxi and you can automate the entire experience 100%. And now with the iCabbi Exchange your passengers can use your local phone number to book a taxi anywhere in the UK. No need for them to download an app when they’re away. They simply call the same familiar number they trust at home Your passenger, your phone number, anywhere.
