A taxi application connects customers with nearby cab service providers. With just a few taps on the app, the user can pinpoint his/her location, enter the destination and choose the type of taxi he/she wished to transit upon. And voila, the user gets matched with a driver who picks him/her up from the location, drops him/her to the destination, and finally, the user pays online.
And one more thing, to keep the quality of service in check, the riders and drivers can rate each other’s behavior and the overall experience.
The following elements should be provided by the app development company:
- Separate login screens and panels for administrator, driver, and user
- Registration using mail ID, social media account, or phone number
- Fare estimation and live tracking
- Sharing of driver details with the customer
- Options to review and rate the driver or the customer
- Transaction history of the driver and the end-user
- Multiple payment gateways
- In-app verification of the driver
- Cancellation of rides
- Design apps for multiple platforms
- Web portal for the administrator
- Scheduling rides to travel later
- Arrival time and car details
- Support when an issue occurs
- Update the app regularly
Uber, Lyft, and many other service providers have been successfully leading the lucrative on-demand taxi markets with their revolutionary platforms. No wonder, global vehicle sales (for self-use) has gown down significantly, thanks to taxi apps. The success makes you wonder, an app like Uber might be the right way forward. I’d say yes it is.
Now, moving to your question, I can present a list of companies offering services in app development. However, to save us both valuable time, I will go ahead with the one leading the list, Uber like app. Their Uber clone platforms equip businesses with a custom app for both riders and drivers coupled with a powerful dashboard for admins and dispatchers.
