Capabilities

What We Build

A complete taxi platform consists of three interconnected apps + a backend.

  • Passenger App

    Book a ride, track driver in real time, pay online, rate the trip, and view ride history - iOS and Android.

  • Driver App

    Receive trip requests, navigate with turn-by-turn directions, accept payments, and track daily earnings - iOS and Android.

  • Dispatcher Panel

    Web-based admin panel for manual order assignment, driver monitoring on a live map, fleet management, and reports.

  • Real-Time Matching Engine

    Assigns the nearest available driver within seconds using geospatial queries, driver availability status, and ride preferences.

  • Payment Integration

    Online card payments via Stripe, in-app wallet top-up, and cash payment option - with automatic fare splitting for multiple stops.

  • Analytics & Reporting

    Revenue reports, driver performance, peak demand heatmaps, and customer retention metrics - for data-driven operations.

Case files

Taxi App Projects We Delivered

Platforms running real rides in real cities.

City Launch

Taxi platform launch in a regional city - 200 drivers, 1,200 rides/day in 90 days

  1. Challenge

    A regional entrepreneur wanted to launch a competing taxi service against the dominant aggregator that was charging 30% commission to drivers. Needed a full platform (passenger + driver + dispatcher) built and live before the summer season.

  2. Solution

    Full React Native platform: passenger and driver apps, real-time matching with PostGIS, Stripe payment integration, dispatcher panel, and driver onboarding flow. Built and deployed in 10 weeks.

  3. Result

    200 active drivers onboarded in 60 days. 1,200 rides per day at peak within 3 months. Driver earnings up 22% vs. the aggregator due to lower commission. Platform profitable in month 4.

Corporate

Corporate taxi service for a holding - 28% transport cost reduction

  1. Challenge

    A 500-person holding company was using uncontrolled taxi bookings across departments - employees calling multiple services, no visibility into spend, frequent billing disputes, and no trip approval workflow.

  2. Solution

    Custom corporate taxi module: department cost centers, manager approval flow for non-standard trips, integration with existing HR system for employee authentication, and monthly consolidated billing report.

  3. Result

    Transport spend down 28% in the first quarter. 100% trip coverage vs. 0% before (all trips now logged and attributed). Monthly billing disputes eliminated. Finance director approved permanent rollout.

Expansion

Multi-city taxi expansion - same platform, 3 cities in 6 months

  1. Challenge

    A taxi startup that launched successfully in their home city needed to expand to 2 additional cities without rebuilding the platform or managing separate systems for each city.

  2. Solution

    Implemented multi-city architecture: city-specific pricing matrices, separate driver pools per city, city-admin roles in the dispatcher panel, and localized push notifications. All from the same backend.

  3. Result

    Expanded to 3 cities in 6 months with zero platform rebuild. City 2 breakeven in 8 weeks. City 3 in 10 weeks. Combined platform: 520 drivers, 3,400 rides/day across all markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a taxi app cost?

An MVP with passenger app, driver app, and basic dispatcher panel starts at $8,000 (8–10 weeks). A full platform with surge pricing, analytics, and advanced dispatcher tools starts at $18,000 (14–20 weeks). A white-label multi-city platform starts at $35,000 (20–28 weeks).

Does the platform work in real time?

Yes. We use WebSockets for real-time communication between the passenger app, driver app, and dispatcher panel. GPS location updates every second, driver acceptance happens within 2–5 seconds of ride request, and trip status updates are instant.

How does driver matching work?

Our matching engine uses PostGIS geospatial queries to find available drivers within a configurable radius. Drivers are ranked by distance, rating, and acceptance rate. The closest available driver gets the request first, with fallback to the next if not accepted within a timeout.

Can the app support multiple cities?

Yes. Our architecture supports multi-city and multi-zone configurations with city-specific pricing, driver pools, and zone-based surge settings. Each city can have its own pricing matrix, commission structure, and payment methods.

Do drivers need internet to receive requests?

Drivers need internet connectivity to receive and accept trips. We implement an offline mode for drivers that allows the app to cache the current trip details in case connectivity is temporarily lost during a ride - navigation continues offline using cached map tiles.
