Car & Bike Booking Apps Case Study
About Customer
With a vision to be The Largest Commuter Transit Marketplace in India, customer is poised on a growth path where there are thousands of bookings per day and that number is growing every day. In order to provide the best of services and speed, this mobile app platform required a robust back-end engine of booking and notification, and a consistent flawless software platform that makes bookings, payments made easier.
Application Requirements
The integrated web-scale mobile delivery platform had requirements to build a solid web back-end and database & a user friendly mobile front-end solution. Also required a customer facing website from where bookings are also possible.
The Business Case Challenge
The project requirements had a lot of technical challenges starting from booking, notification management, aggregator payment mode where vendors get their share of bookings auto debited, logical implementation for the fare of the ride, implementation of differential fare calculations etc. Bookings have to be real-time and confirmation soonest possible to the customer.
OdiTek’s Solution
Foremost requirement that we approached as PoC was a back-end where bikes and car onboarding processes are implemented. Both the customer interfacing web & mobile platforms are developed parallel which utilize common REST APIs from the back-end. The fare calculations and auto payment for vendors is the next challenge that was taken up. While launching the application platform, real-time tests were carried out where we checked kilometer travel reflected in the app itself and fare calculation correctness w.r.t. the distance travelled.
