Yellow Cab Modernises Taxi Services in Edmonton with Autocab

Yellow Cab, a multi-fleet taxi and dispatching service operating under tappCONNECT Inc., partnered with Autocab to modernise its operations and deliver a more connected, customer-focused experience.

As expectations from both passengers and corporate clients continued to evolve, Yellow Cab recognised the need for a platform that could offer greater scalability and support its long-term ambitions. After reviewing its options, the team made the decision to switch to Autocab.

With a clear vision to deliver a world-class customer experience, Yellow Cab needed technology that could better support day-to-day operations while also setting the business up for future growth. Since implementing Autocab, the team has been able to run a more dependable service, simplify the booking experience, and build a stronger platform for expansion across Edmonton and surrounding areas.

Challenges Faced Prior to Autocab

Before adopting Autocab, Yellow Cab recognised that its existing technology was no longer keeping pace with changing expectations.

Passengers were looking for quicker pickups, real-time vehicle tracking, and more convenient ways to book. On the other side, drivers needed a steadier flow of work and clearer information to help them operate efficiently.

There was also an opportunity to improve the company’s corporate offering. Business clients increasingly expected better visibility of their travel activity, along with tools that would allow them to manage bookings in line with their internal policies.

As Maria Borges, Chief Operating Officer, explains:
“Passengers expect real time tracking, easy booking and a faster response time.”

Why Yellow Cab Chose Autocab

Yellow Cab selected Autocab as a long-term technology partner because of the breadth of its platform and its ability to support both current operations and future plans.

“We believe Autocab has all the features available to help us achieve our goal of safely transporting anyone at any time while providing a world class customer experience,” says Maria Borges.

Beyond core dispatch and booking functionality, the platform offered the connectivity and scalability the business needed to expand its booking channels and improve how the fleet is utilised over time.

“Autocab offers powerful dispatch tools along with strong passenger booking tools and we feel that this is the right long-term decision for our business,” she adds.

The Solution: Autocab’s Impact

1. Corporate Account Portal (CAP)

Autocab’s Corporate Account Portal has allowed Yellow Cab to strengthen its corporate offering by giving business clients more control over how they book and manage travel.

2. Enhanced Customer Experience

Autocab’s passenger booking tools have helped Yellow Cab offer a smoother and more modern experience.

The introduction of Autocab’s dispatch system has improved how trips are allocated across the fleet.

Drivers now receive clearer job details and experience a more consistent flow of work, helping to reduce downtime and make better use of their time on the road.

4. Expanded Connectivity

Autocab’s network has opened up new ways for Yellow Cab to access demand.

With greater connectivity to external booking channels, the business is able to reach more customers and make better use of its fleet capacity. This creates a stronger base for future growth.

The successful go-live marked an important milestone for the business, with the platform now fully operational across day-to-day activities.
