White-glove migration · 5 days
Migrate from Gazoop taxi dispatch software to TaxiCloud.
Gazoop migration in 5 days: drivers, vehicles, customers, pricing rules, coverage zones, and historic bookings imported clean. Parallel-run weekend included on Pro and above.
Migrating from Gazoop to TaxiCloud takes 5 business days end-to-end. Our white-glove team imports every record from your existing tenant, configures the compliance reports for your authority, and runs a parallel-run weekend so dispatchers train on live data before cutover. Available on Pro (£149/month) and above as part of onboarding.
Gazoop migration deep-dive
How we migrate Gazoop fleets to TaxiCloud.
Gazoop migrations are typically driven by three pressure points: Gazoop's pricing has tracked upward 12-18% annually for the last three renewal cycles, the dispatch console's UI is recognisably 2014-era and dispatchers report fatigue compared to modern alternatives, and Gazoop's AI features are rule-based-with-ML rather than generative — there is no Copilot equivalent that surfaces explainable recommendations to the dispatcher. Operators evaluating modern alternatives most often pilot TaxiCloud on their dispatch-board UX segment first, where the modern interface impact is most visible to ops floor staff.
Gazoop's data export path is straightforward but takes longer to map cleanly than Cordic or iCabbi. Drivers (with licensing and vehicle assignment), vehicles (with inspection records), customer accounts (with booking history and saved-card metadata), pricing rules (with airport tariffs and surcharges), and a 12-month historic booking archive export via Gazoop's reporting API. Corporate-account expense-code mappings often need manual review during cutover — Gazoop stores expense codes as free-text fields rather than structural objects, so operators with substantial corporate books should plan an extra day for expense-code normalisation.
The Gazoop parallel-run window typically runs over a Wednesday-to-Sunday cycle to absorb the corporate-account expense-code review across two business days. The 8-day total cutover excludes the prior Friday-Sunday weekend; data export runs Monday, configuration Tuesday, expense-code normalisation Wednesday-Thursday, integration testing Friday, parallel-run Saturday-Sunday-Monday, cutover Tuesday morning. Driver onboarding to the new app rolls out terminal-by-terminal across the same window.

Migration timeline · 5 days
Off Gazoop, on TaxiCloud, on schedule.
White-glove migration runs on a fixed timeline. Every step has a clear output, a clear owner, and a clear handoff. No surprises, no console-dark window.
Day 1
Audit + scope
Migration team reviews your current dispatch setup, exports list, integrations, and compliance reports. Output: signed migration plan with cutover date.
Day 2-3
Configure tenant
TaxiCloud tenant configured to match your operating reality — coverage zones, council-licensing reports, pricing rules, customer-app branding.
Day 4-5
Import data
Drivers, vehicles, customers, pricing rules, historic bookings imported. Integration tests run against Stripe, PayPal, Twilio, FCM.
Day 6-7
Parallel-run weekend
Small driver subset runs live on TaxiCloud alongside your existing platform. Dispatchers train against real bookings; we monitor side-by-side.
Day 8+
Cutover live
Full fleet flips to TaxiCloud. Migration team on standby for the first 72 hours. Onboarding manager assigned for the first 90 days on Pro Max+.
Gazoop migration gotchas
Where Gazoop migrations bite, and how we handle it.
Gotcha
Gazoop expense codes stored as free-text rather than structural objects
TaxiCloud resolution
TaxiCloud normalises expense codes into structural records during migration; corporate accounts get a clean expense-code dictionary post-cutover.
Gotcha
Gazoop's annual price escalations leave operators exposed at renewal
TaxiCloud resolution
TaxiCloud pricing is published month-to-month with one calendar month notice; no multi-year escalation clauses.
Gotcha
Gazoop has no generative AI Copilot — dispatcher reasoning relies on rule-engines only
TaxiCloud resolution
TaxiCloud's AI Copilot drafts SMS, surfaces explainable assignment recommendations, and pre-positions drivers via event-calendar ingest.
Gotcha
Gazoop dispatch console UI is dated; dispatcher fatigue is reported
TaxiCloud resolution
TaxiCloud dispatch board uses Aurora design tokens; ops-floor staff typically report measurable comfort improvement within the first 30 days.
Migration FAQ
Switching from Gazoop, answered.
- How long does migration from Gazoop take?
- Typical cutover is 5 business days end-to-end. The timeline includes audit, tenant configuration, data import, integration testing, parallel-run weekend, and live cutover. Available on Pro (£149/month) and above as part of onboarding — no separate setup fee.
- What does the parallel-run weekend look like?
- A small driver subset (typically 10-20% of fleet, often the airport or executive segment) runs on TaxiCloud alongside your existing platform. Dispatchers train against real bookings; we monitor side-by-side. Operators decide cutover go/no-go based on the live data, not slideware.
- What data gets imported?
- Drivers with licensing data, vehicles with inspection records, customer database with booking history, pricing rules, coverage zones, corporate accounts with expense codes, and a 24-month historic booking archive. Pro Ultra extends the historic window to 7 years for regulatory and insurance use cases.
- What happens if integration tests fail?
- We do not cut over until integration tests pass. The migration plan signed at Day 1 includes the full integration list (Stripe, PayPal, Twilio, FCM, Google Maps, your custom integrations). If something fails during testing, we extend the migration window — never cut over with broken integrations.
- Can I roll back to {{competitor.name}} after cutover?
- Yes. The first 30 days post-cutover include rollback support. Your Gazoop tenant is kept available (read-only for compliance) for 90 days post-cutover. Most operators do not roll back, but the option exists. After 90 days, the rollback path closes formally; we have not had an operator request rollback past the 30-day window.
