Managing orders and drivers with WhatsApp or a call center can work for very small fleets but quickly becomes inefficient. The best-proven business strategy for the taxi business is to start small and scale as your customer base grows. So it makes sense that many young taxi businesses seek an easy-to-use system to manage orders and payouts once they start growing. For scaling beyond 5–10 cars, modern dispatch software or platforms like Onde.Light offer better control, faster growth, and lower costs. Onde.Light lets you launch in 1 day, manage rides commission-free up to 1,000 trips, and keep your data secure—all without needing a developer.

To start a taxi business with one car, you need a vehicle, insurance, basic permits, and a digital booking system — all doable for around $10,000. With a tool like Onde.Light, a free taxi dispatch platform, you get booking system right away, so you can manage rides, track orders, and grow without building an app on your own.

ToychPro, a taxi startup in Kazygurt, Kazakhstan, used Onde.Light’s free-to-use platform to launch and scale rapidly. In its first month, ToychPro completed 4,000 orders and attracted around 70 drivers. The company expanded to three additional cities within three months. Key success factors included reliable, affordable pricing, a user-friendly driver app, and focused driver training and retention. ToychPro’s founder, Toychibek Abdukarimov, chose Onde.Light for its cost-effectiveness, technical features, business analytics, and 24/7 support. The company plans further expansion and aims to launch food delivery services.
