Mobile Device Flexibility
Choose from specialized mobile data terminals or Windows devices with touchscreen
display. New Pocket PC models from HP and Mio feature GPRS communications, internal
GPS receivers and voice navigation at a cost-effective price. Within the domain
of Land Mobile Radio, Kenwood FleetSync™ represents impressive functionality at
affordable prices.
Pay Less, Get More, Deploy Faster!
Our cost-effective and flexible platform results in more dispatch functions
at a lower price with a quicker implementation schedule.
Voice and Data Dispatch
If Mobile Data Terminals do not fit your budget today, start with a Voice
Dispatch package and add terminals later. This is a convenient way to implement
a taxi dispatch system. Call entry and trip matching remain the same as for MDT
operation.
Voice Dispatch is also useful for systems with Mobile Data Terminals, allowing you
to manage vehicles which temporarily do not have functioning MDT's. Voice cars participate
in the dispatch process on equal terms to MDT equipped vehicles.
Private and Public Networks
As radio frequencies are becoming more and more scarce, taxi companies
are looking for public network voice and data solutions. PiccoloTaxi gives you the
option to choose the solution that makes the most sense for your operation.
Advanced Trip Matching Algorithms
PiccoloTaxi supports advanced trip matching algorithms for both Zone-based
and GPS-based operations. Zones can be used in standard mode or enhanced with GPS
verification of book-ins. Drivers can indicate preferred back-up zones to avoid
being dispatched to remote back-up zones. GPS-based trip matching options include
Closest Cab Dispatch, Closest Passenger Dispatch or various GPS Zone Hybrid combination.
Microsoft Architecture
PiccoloTaxi is built around the power Microsoft .NET Architecture, which
gives you the highest possible performance at the lowest possible price.
Our system can be deployed locally on your own servers, or accessed via the Internet
as an Application Service Provider offering. Whatever your choice, deployment is
very quick. Unlike UNIX™-based solutions, the Windows™ operating system is familiar
to most computer users, inexpensive in both license fees and on-going software maintenance.
PiccoloTaxi uses Microsoft's powerful, yet affordable databases: MS Access™ and
SQL Server™.
Furthermore, PiccoloTaxi is integrated with Microsoft MapPoint™, which provides
a very cost-effective mapping and address verification database. Address zoning
can be done with MapPoint™, or by using traditional zone database tables.
