TARGET USERS

Passengers who don’t own a vehicle & prefer to hail on-demand taxis and car pooling.

How Did the Client Approach Us?

Mr. Ken Deocharran, our client from Georgetown, Guyana, observed the taxi culture and envisioned a mobile app to address ride-hailing challenges. His goal was to create an AI-driven app that could compete with established giants like Uber and Lyft.

By leveraging advanced algorithms and machine learning, the app would offer dynamic fare pricing for users and increased earnings for drivers, ensuring market competitiveness.

After thoroughly understanding the client’s needs, the team at Excellent Webworld began brainstorming AI-powered features to meet expectations, including efficient route optimization and personalized user experiences, setting the app apart in the competitive landscape.

Our Deliverables to Digitize this Taxi Service

After an internal team discussion, we decided to build an Admin panel, a dispatcher panel and two independent mobile applications. (We considered the distributed statistics of Android and iOS phone users who would use this app to book taxi online in Guyana.)

Native Android & iOS Apps For Passengers

This AI-driven app allows users to register as riders, book rides, add favorite locations, rate drivers, and receive personalized ride recommendations based on past behavior.

Native Android & iOS Apps For Drivers

The AI-driven driver app enables driver registration, accepting or rejecting ride requests, tracking fares, completed rides, and provides intelligent ride predictions based on patterns.

Project Framing & Scope Designing

It is a norm at Excellent Webworld to first work on the project’s foundation, i.e., the roadmap. To design the same, we took several calls with the client and his team. We asked them various questions to discover their point of view and noted things down, and all this data helped us design and develop the best app for ride sharing.

Our extra mile of effort makes an app successful!

While the deadline to deploy the Book A Ride Guyana app approached, many major issues remained to be solved. The team doubled their efforts to meet the deadline without compromising on the quality of the application.

Throughout this project design and development, we provided Night time support to the client’s team, considering their time zone and geographic location.

Another extra effort that Excellent Webworld’s hardworking developers put in was for the LIVE location tracking algorithm. We made it as accurate as Uber to provide their users with a seamless ride-booking experience.

A Glance at the Features of Driver & Passenger Apps

Today, the app has around 7500 active registered users. The figure is only growing. And we surely think this is quite a milestone in the app’s lifecycle. However, this wouldn’t have been possible without integrating the app’s remarkable features, which made it stand out from the competitors.

Challenges & Solutions in the Course of Project Development

Challenge 1 – Google Maps integration was proving costly.

Solution: We implemented an AI-driven custom ETA algorithm that was cost-effective and met our accuracy goals without relying on expensive third-party services.

Challenge 2 – Multiple users on the app caused the server to fail.

Solution: Solved this issue using dynamic load balancing. We integrated AI-based monitoring to optimize server allocation and ran scalable servers to support a large number of users.

Challenge 3 – Equipping the app with a LIVE tracking feature.

Solution: We integrated the Kalman Filter with AI-assisted sensor data smoothing, enabling accurate LIVE tracking of both the passenger and driver.
