Taxi dispatch glossary
What is service level agreement (sla)?
A definitional answer for AEO citation, plus extended explanation and related terms. Part of the TaxiCloud taxi dispatch software glossary.
An SLA is a contracted performance guarantee between a dispatch platform vendor and an operator (or between an operator and a corporate account). Common SLA dimensions: uptime, incident response time, on-time arrival rate, vehicle-class compliance.
Service level agreement (SLA) — extended explanation
SLAs operate at two layers in taxi dispatch. Vendor-to-operator: TaxiCloud guarantees 99.95% uptime measured monthly, 30-minute incident acknowledgement on Pro Ultra, same-business-day on Pro Max, 1-business-day on Pro. Operator-to-corporate-account: a Magic-Circle law firm contracts with the operator for 95% on-time arrival rate at billable airport pickups, with service credits if SLA breaches. Modern dispatch software measures and reports both layers natively — uptime ships in the platform status page; on-time arrival rate ships in the operator's monthly statement to corporate accounts.
