Auriga Systems Expands Into Portugal Taxi Market

April 1, 2010 - PRLog -- Auriga Systems Expands Into Portugal Taxi Market

Auriga Systems, the UK-based Data Despatch supplier for taxi and private hire companies, has signed its first system contract in Portugal, signalling the beginning of its planned expansion into the Portuguese taxi market.

A 100-vehicle taxi fleet in the Algarve region has chosen Auriga's Evocab system to manage its operations. The drivers require a sophisticated Data Despatch system to handle the high number of jobs through the summer season, and have chosen Auriga.

The system is planned to be live in time for the summer, and will consist of an Evocab Data Despatch office system with automatic phone and Internet booking, as well as ‘Callback’, to let customers know when their taxi is arriving to pick them up.  The vehicles will be kitted out with Auriga’s CT4000s communicating via GPRS, with fully integrated TomTom satellite navigation, and the 'Out of Car' feature to allow drivers to leave the vehicle without missing out on work.

This system installation represents the first stage in Auriga’s planned expansion into the Portuguese taxi market.

Auriga is already the leading taxi Data Despatch supplier in Spain, with more than 25 customers, and also in the UK, where Auriga systems manage many of the country’s largest taxi and private hire fleets.
