Booking flows we have shipped

Direct bookings with no middleman, the same idea as your own taxi app.

Your fleet, your app

The problem

Cab operators on aggregator platforms pay 20 to 30% of every fare, cannot set their own prices and never own the customer. Corporate and airport clients go to whoever is cheapest that day.

The fix

A booking app of your own lets regular riders and corporate accounts book you directly, at your fares. Drivers get trips from you first, and every trip builds your customer list.

Three apps, one dispatch system

Riders, drivers and your control room stay in sync through one backend that handles trips, fares and live location.
