How launching a mobile taxi app targeted both at passengers and drivers helped a transportation company pump up its user base in Central Asia by 31%.
The goal was creating an app enabling passengers to call a passenger or a cargo taxi, on the one hand, and carriers to receive orders from customers onto their mobile devices, on the other hand. For making the service up and running it was required to engineer a passenger and driver rating system per mutual assessments according to the results of each ride or carriage.
We came up with Android and server apps enabling the passenger to:
Call up a passenger or cargo taxi right to the address indicated automatically on the app or as corrected by passengers themselves
Get information about available transport and choices
Filter cargo transport per tonnage
Assess the driver
Track down transport on a map
Make a phone call to the driver
Announce a taxi arriving
Receive orders onto their mobile devices and see the customers on a map
Choose a passenger per his rating status
Assess the passenger
Make a phone call to the passenger
