“They are an eager bunch, and pick-up things quickly, they have used other systems before, and were impressed by the number of unique features Taxi! has. We do a lot of long distance journeys and the Taxi! routing module enables us to give accurate quotes of prices, and journey times within seconds of a customer phoning us!”

You’ve recently added the Cleartone Cm7000 radio to your cars, have you noticed much change?

“We’ve had the radios nearly a month now, and none of the drivers would want to go back to voice - its the same story in the office. We don't get drivers calling in asking “what was that address again?” or “who am I picking up?” It’s all there on the screen, in the car. Taxi! worked so well with our old voice radios, its difficult to believe how much better it is now that we’ve gone for Full-Data. “

Dave Pratt, the manager of A1 Taxis, has been working in and around the taxi business for years. He knows what to do in order to run a successful taxi company, and took some time to explain why he chose Taxi!...

With so many systems on the market, why did you chose Taxi!?

“I took the job of choosing a system very seriously, I know from experience it’s important to make the right choice first time round. Several companies I know of have had to waste time, money and effort on a systems that don’t work as they should. Everyone I spoke to had good things to say about Taxi! Coupled with the fact that the leasing cost was far lower than I expected, there was no other sensible choice.”
