Role of AI in Making Dispatch Automation Smarter for Taxi Businesses

Many taxi businesses still depend on outdated dispatch systems or manual methods.  On the surface, these systems seem to get the job done. But as the business grows, the cracks begin to show.

People from outside might think, running scheduled rides must be the easiest part of your taxi business.  After all, these are bookings made in advance; there is plenty of time to prepare and plan.  The taxi business already knows every crucial detail related to the ride firsthand. From the time to the pickup spot, all the information is available for better planning and execution.  So, it is less likely to go wrong. But the reality is, scheduled rides are the most difficult to handle if done manually.  As your dispatchers end up scribbling times on notepads, they are constantly on call with drivers to take follow-ups. All this makes it hard to run everything smoothly. Also, it is not just frustrating; it hampers your business’s reputation. Let’s talk about why that happens and how can it be fixed. Manual scheduling is slowing your business down Here are the things that most commonly go wrong when following manual scheduling: i. A dispatcher never assigns the schedul...
