You Make More Money
Utilising the automation features iCabbi provides, such as the web booker, customer app and IVR system, really can help your taxi business make more money.
Winning new customers – with smartphones so widely used these days, many of your customers will want to book using a customer app. By using iCabbi to cater for that, you’ll win and keep more of those customers, bringing in more money.
Defending your current customers – this one is simple. If you don’t provide the right tools for your customers, they could start using another taxi business that does. iCabbi’s automation means you can defend your customers and protect your profits.

No Hidden Costs
No-one likes nasty surprises, especially when it comes to business expenses.
That’s why, at iCabbi we have a pricing model that’s very simple and completely transparent.
You pay a weekly fee for each driver that needs to use the dispatch system, and that’s it. Simple.
That means, unlike many other providers, there’s no hidden costs deep down in the small print for things you’d expect to be included as part of the package.
In fact, with iCabbi there’s a whole host of things you WON’T suddenly get extra costs for, including:
- Installation charges
- Out of hours support
- Software updates
- Ongoing maintenance
- Customer app and web booker
Straightforward pricing means that you get what you expect, at the price you expected to pay – with no nasty surprises.

Awesome Customer App
There’s so much to love about the iCabbi customer app, it’s difficult to know where to start.
First off, it’s fully branded to match your company look, using your colours and your logo. Your customers will think you created it.
Next, it’s fully compatible with Apple and Android, so no-one gets left out. Your customers will find it in the Apple Store and Google Play.
Unlike with many other so-called “white-labelled” apps, you own the license, which means if you change dispatch systems in the future, it’s easy to migrate your customers to your new app – protecting your customer base, your revenue and your business.
Then there’s all the great features it offers, such as live driver tracking, email booking confirmations, fixed fares and estimated pricing displayed, optional driver rating and feedback system and more…
What’s more, customers love it! And that helps you win, and retain more, new customers, which make you more money.
