1. How will this affect PCO and Local Authority inspections?
Initially compliance inspections will be simplified as any licensing officer of inspector can be sat at a terminal which can easily display all the documents they are looking for without going to a single filing cabinet. In the near future it will be possible to allow Inspectors remote access to your database to carry out some or all of the checks without troubling you or your staff at your office. Yes, 95% of a licensing Officers job will be achievable remotely, without entering your office!

2. Can my existing records be transferred to the new system?
If you already have some form of electronic records relating to drivers and vehicles, Caboperator offer a file transfer service from most recognised formats which will considerably reduce the effort required to set up the new system. Need to set up contact us link for email requests

3. Will my records be secure?
Access to user data is strictly password controlled. Each company will set up its own users and control access levels and passwords. Each company’s data is discreet to that company and only accessible to their designated users or to the authorised authorities that you nominate. All data will be located on a secure fully maintained remote server where data is both mirrored and frequently backed without the user having to do anything.

4. How much will the system cost?
The system is charged on the basis of an initial set up charge followed by a monthly charge based on the number of drivers or escorts held for each company. This sliding scale makes it an attractive proposition for all companies large and small. The average monthly charge works out to less than 20pence per week per driver.

5. How can I be sure it’s going to do what I expect?
CabFiles has been created by people with over 20 years experience in the taxi and private hire trade, as operators, administrators and business consultants. So the system has been designed from the outset to work the way that operators want it to work. The system has been properly tested by operators and the LPHCA.
