Professional GPS-based TAXIMETER Since 2011, this GPS based Taximeter app has been continuously extended in close cooperation with regulators and taxi companies. Our app is used daily by thousands of professional drivers worldwide and has run millions of trips. The app calculates with the highest precision, manages complex tariff structures and masters all conceivable driving situations. 'LOCAL Mode' No setup work is required to do a taxi trip: Click on 'FOR HIRE' and your trip starts. The app will choose in our database the tariff that is geographically closest to you from the 230 preset tariffs in 60 countries. YOU DONT HAVE TO TELL THE APP WHICH TARIFF IT SHOULD USE! When your trip has completed, click on that same button in the lower right corner. If our preset tariff is not the one you need, you can setup your own tariff in the app. 'LOGIN Mode' If you are a Taxi Company, you will want to do more and have your Taxi Company's own tariff managed centrally. You will want your driver to only do login / logout in the app and keep hands off the tariff or any settings. You certainly will want to see all trips done by all drivers and trace their position in real-time. The tariff configuration offers so many possibilities that it may seem overwhelming at first. That's why we assist you in this process. We can do the initial setup for you at no costs. When your tariff is setup, you will then create driver profiles with username and password. The list of all app features is too long to be displayed here. Here are the most important ones: - Automatic tariff detection depending on location, day of the week and time. - Start (also delayed), stop and cancel of a trip - Cross-over speed - Waiting mode - Change applied tariff according to time or distance - Add extras to fare - Manage loss of the GPS signal (tunnel,...) - Global trip reference number - Add tip to fare - Passenger Receipt (QR-code, printing, airdrop,...) - Payment with Square - Fare calculation in advance - Company logo - Talking meter - .... and much more The digital transformation has reached the taximeter. You no longer have to invest in an expensive and bulky built-in device. We offer more functionality and security at a fraction of the cost. We are happy to answer your questions! Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
