Our Process

We had a fruitful discussion with our client to understand their requirements, and deliver a cross-functioning app. Here’s how we did it –

1
Requirement Analysis

We had to go through the website to gain better clarity on the website issues such as live tracking, inconsistent interface, and high development costs.

2
UI/UX Design

Our team of designers developed a clean and modern interface by using Flutter’s flexible widget system.

3
Feature Development

We developed the important functionalities like GPS tracking, in app chat between riders and drivers, payment gateway integration, and ride history management.

4
Testing and Deployment

Intensive testing was conducted to ensure that the app functioned flawlessly, especially during peak hours.

The Problem

Managing 2 separate apps for iOS and Android increased the operational costs and created inconsistencies in the user experience. The company required a cross-platform mobile application that delivers seamless performance on all devices, reducing development and maintenance expenses.

Our Role

  • UI/UX Design
  • Flutter App Development
  • Post Lauch Support

Project Challenges
