Taxi management software for Brussels operators

What taxi management software works for a taxi company in Brussels?

Tomcabs is built for the way a Brussels taxi company actually operates: mixed cash, card, Bolt and Uber revenue in the same week, drivers settled on a running weekly balance, and per-vehicle service records with kilometer indices that can be exported when they are asked for. It manages shifts, races, taxis, balances and road sheets from one system, in French and English.

The operating picture in Brussels

A Brussels taxi company rarely has a single revenue channel. The same driver, in the same week, will take street and rank work paid in cash, card payments on the terminal, journeys dispatched through Bolt or Uber, and account work for a hotel or a company that gets invoiced at month end.

That mix is what makes the administration hard, and it is not what most international taxi platforms are built around. A dispatch-first product assumes journeys originate in its own system; in Brussels a large share of them originate somewhere else entirely.

Tomcabs starts from the opposite assumption: the journeys arrive from wherever they arrive, and the operator's problem is knowing what happened afterwards.

Service records for a regulated region

Brussels-Capital regulates taxi service at regional level, and the direction of travel has been toward digital retention of journey records rather than paper books. What an operator needs to be able to produce is a per-vehicle, per-driver, per-date record of service with distances and journeys.

That is exactly the shape of the record Tomcabs already holds, because it is a by-product of how shifts work: opened against a taxi with a kilometer index, filled with races, closed with a final index. Road sheets are assembled from that and can be exported per driver, vehicle and date.

Requirements are set by the region and change over time. Check the current obligation against the official sources listed on this page — Tomcabs keeps the records available and structured, but it does not interpret the rule for you.

French and English, on the drivers' own phones

Brussels operations run in French, in Dutch, in English and often in several other languages across a single driver roster. Tomcabs is available in French and English, and drivers use it from the phone they already carry, installed as a PWA rather than as an app-store download.

That matters more than it sounds. Adoption is the whole game with driver-side data capture: if the tool is awkward, the races do not get encoded, and an incomplete record is worse than an honest paper one because it looks authoritative.

The manager side runs in the browser, so the office does not need anything installed either.

Fit and cost for a Brussels-sized company

Most Brussels operators are small: a handful of vehicles, a working owner, and drivers who rotate. Enterprise fleet software assumes a structure that does not exist at that size, and prices accordingly.

Tomcabs charges per company rather than per vehicle. Setup is free, and paid plans are €20 per month (Plus) or €50 per month (Pro) for active fleets, which is the price band that makes sense against the hours the administration currently takes.

There is no implementation project. Create the company, add the taxis, invite the drivers, and the first shift can be opened the same day.

FAQ

Is Tomcabs approved by Brussels Mobility?

Tomcabs is a private operations platform, not an officially certified or approved system. It produces structured, exportable service records; verifying that your record keeping satisfies the current regional requirement remains your responsibility.

Does it work for Wallonia too?

Yes. Tomcabs is built Belgium-first and the record structure serves operators in Wallonia as well as Brussels-Capital. Regional requirements differ, so check the rule that applies to you.

Is Tomcabs available in Dutch?

Not currently. The product and website are available in French and English.

Can I use Tomcabs alongside Bolt and Uber?

Yes, and that is the common case. Tomcabs records the payment method on each race so platform work sits alongside cash and card in the same operational picture.

How quickly can a Brussels company get started?

Setup is free and takes minutes: create the company, add taxis, invite drivers. The interactive demo lets you see the interface first without an account.
