The Road Ahead

We're nearly there. After many months of hard work, we're nearly ready to release TaxiOffice for public use.

Development work aside, we've already started building up material relating to TaxiOffice. The TaxiOffice section of the knowledgebase is growing daily with new articles covering all aspects of TaxiOffice ranging from adding jobs, managing customers through to sending newsletters.

Although there is already a FAQ in place, here's is a quick primer on TaxiOffice:

What is TaxiOffice?

TaxiOffice is a complete operations management service for taxi and private hire businesses. Designed and developed in partnership with partners in the private hire sector, TaxiOffice streamlines business operations and systems into one easy-to-use service.

How does it work?

TaxiOffice is a subscription service with everything hosted by us on our servers. You don't need to buy any equipment or install any software and we take care of all routine maintenance. All you need is a computer with access to the Internet and an e-mail account.

Subscriptions will be monthly and possibly annually as well.

Do I require a website or web hosting?

No. Hosting and a public website will be included as part of any TaxiOffice subscription. All subscriptions will include a free sub-domain as well like mycompany.taxioffice.net, but you can use a full domain if you wish.

Where are your right now?

TaxiOffice is currently in the middle of closed pre-release testing with our development partners. Once any final bugs are ironed out, we'll be in a position to state once and for all when it will be available.

Will there be a demo?

Yes. There will be a fully functional demo available at http://demo.taxioffice.net where anyone can get a taste of TaxiOffice.

Where can I find out more?
