Cab company dispatch system setup in 2026 is faster than it's ever been — but only if you follow the right sequence. We've launched fleets in everything from sleepy university towns to 24/7 airport stations, and the same 4-week template works for almost all of them. Here's the playbook.
Before You Start — The 5-Item Checklist
- Logo and brand colour palette (hex codes).
- Apple Developer + Google Play accounts in your business name.
- A Stripe (or local equivalent) account ready to verify.
- Your driver list with email and phone.
- Tariff structure — flagfall, per-mile, waiting time, surge rules.
Week 1 — Branding & Configuration
Hand over logo and palette. Configure zones, vehicle types, tariffs and surge windows. Sign off on the white-label app screenshots before submission. This is the only week where speed depends on you, not us.
Week 2 — Driver Onboarding
Invite drivers via SMS, verify licence and insurance documents, install the driver app on their phones, run a 90-minute group training session (in person or Zoom). Most drivers are comfortable inside an hour.
Week 3 — Payments & Integrations
Connect Stripe, configure invoicing for corporate accounts, integrate accounting (Xero or QuickBooks), and link telematics if you run a connected fleet. Run a full end-to-end booking with a real card.
Week 4 — Soft Launch
Open the apps to internal staff and a small customer list for 7 days. Track no-shows, payment failures and driver complaints. Fix anything that surfaces. Then open the floodgates with a launch promo.
