Client Overview
A fast-growing, venture-backed mobility startup in the MENA region aimed to launch a modern ride-sharing platform to improve urban transportation.
With thousands of daily users projected and a goal to onboard hundreds of drivers in the first quarter, the client required an end-to-end system that delivers seamless experiences for riders, drivers, and administrators.
They needed custom-built rider and driver mobile apps, a smart trip-matching algorithm, real-time location tracking, incentive logic for drivers, and a robust admin panel to manage operations at scale.
The Challenges
Building this ride-hailing ecosystem from scratch came with several technical and operational challenges:
Dual Mobile Apps
Separate UX flows for riders and drivers with real-time sync.
Trip Management
Matching engine for rider-driver allocation, live tracking, and route navigation.
Payment Integration
Secure fare calculation and localized payment gateway integration.
Driver Incentives
Flexible backend logic to reward driver engagement and trip volume.
Admin Oversight
Unified panel to manage trips, drivers, users, payments, and disputes.
Real-Time Updates
Instant ride request, status changes, and push notifications.
Scalability
Optimized backend architecture to support rapid growth in users and trips.
