Client and Business Goals
The client aimed to launch a minimal yet functional ride-hailing MVP that could prove the business model in a real-world environment for Canada market. Their goals included:
Creating a user-friendly mobile experience for both riders and drivers
Ensuring quick time-to-market with a scalable architecture
Providing a web-based admin panel to monitor and manage the service
Enabling real-time ride tracking, notifications, and in-app payments
Establishing a solid foundation for further product iterations and investments
The Challenge
Building a ride-hailing platform comes with complex technical and UX challenges—even for an MVP:
User interface had to be simple enough for non-tech-savvy users but still offer flexibility (e.g., changing pickup address)
Driver app required accurate ride status management and live navigation, without overwhelming the user
Real-time map tracking and status updates had to work seamlessly – even in background mode
Building trust required stable payment integration, trip visibility, and complaint handling
All components needed to sync in real time across web, iOS, and Android while remaining fast and responsive
The Solution
We designed and developed a three-part system:
Passenger Mobile App – enables users to book a ride in 2 taps, drag to set pickup location, choose taxi type, and track the driver live – even with the app minimized. Includes fare estimation, push notifications, and in-app payments.
Driver Mobile App – lets drivers receive ride requests, navigate to the user, start/end rides, and manage status updates with minimal interaction.
Web Admin Dashboard – gives supervisors full control over active rides, driver statuses, complaints, and financials via a real-time map and searchable logs.
This MVP was delivered in a short timeline, with clean UX, modern tech stack, and scalable backend – ready to grow into a full-scale mobility product.
