We are in the process of swapping from smart to android now (due to windows xp loosing its support ). And we can buy them of mercury at £150 per unit with craddle/charger and ready to go or we can lease 13 units at a cost of £1.30 per unit per week so roughly £20 quid a week and there upgraded every 2 to 3 years. Grandad what system do yous use ?.
Until very recently we have been using pen and paper. But we are in the process of evaluating a computerised booking and dispatch system. The Auto dispatch requires the driver to have a device in the car, obviously, but this device can be an android phone that is available from many outlets for around £35.00 and a data package which can be a standard sim with data or, I am told, that I can get a data only sim for around £3.00 per month. At the moment I am using my contract Samsung galaxy S4 mini on my call text and data package. The data limit is 500 meg per month and so far since last Saturday when I turned the system on I have used a little over 7 meg.
Give Bill a ring at Datamaster, he doesn't advertise or go to trade shows because word of mouth is much better than advertising. These companies who advertise especially Exel have massive overheads and directors on telephone number salaries who have no experience in the Taxi trade.
