Ride-Sharing Software Development

Before we start to create carpooling solutions, we go through a comprehensive discovery phase to define what features would help the product fit the market best. As an experienced development team, we’ve determined several core functionalities that every solid transportation product must have:

1. Route-optimization tools that include live maps that show traffic conditions, and expense and time-estimation tools for both riders and drivers.
2. Tools for ride scheduling, rescheduling, cancellations, and communication (including messages, images, and voice calls) for all users.
3. A matchmaking system that can automatically determine the most suitable ride options for certain passenger types. For instance, people with children are more likely to choose vans than coupes.
4. An integrated processor that offers several payment options and the ability to split fares between passengers.
5. Additional features that make users feel more comfortable, such as an SOS button, promo codes, rewards, ratings, a favourite locations list, and an in-built support system.

Before starting to develop your app, make sure your technical partner is experienced in creating solutions for different markets and can offer not only development services but also business consultancy and help with further scaling.
