Car pool app for transport provider in the Middle East

Our customer, the second biggest transport provider in a most affluent Middle Eastern country, wanted to embrace the environment protection philosophy by promoting shared vehicle ownership. To support this vision, they decided to develop a car pool app to encourage car-sharing among commuters. The city, being challenged by maddening traffic, made this step inevitable. The customer was already operating scheduled bus services and wanted to complement this with chartered services for office-goers, experimenting with a new, adapted version of intelligent mobility.

The Client

Our client is a prominent transport provider, renowned for their extensive network and commitment to sustainable transportation. They sought to reduce the environmental impact of their services by introducing a car pool app that would make shared commuting more accessible and appealing.

The Challenge

Being tech-savvy, they were keen to deploy IoT-powered fleet management for real-time tracking to provide customers with the best experience. Experion was tasked with designing a comprehensive suite of applications that included the car pool app for on-demand pooling after commuters made their request, as well as scheduling apps for bus drivers and passengers. This solution needed to seamlessly integrate with their existing transport services to ensure a smooth user experience.

Our Solution

Experion developed a robust car pool app that allowed users to easily book shared rides, view real-time locations of available vehicles, and schedule their trips in advance. The solution included:

IoT Integration: Enabled real-time tracking of vehicles, ensuring that users could view precise locations and estimated arrival times of their shared rides.
Dynamic Scheduling: The app provided dynamic scheduling capabilities, allowing users to select preferred time slots and routes for their daily commute.
Driver and Passenger Coordination: The app facilitated efficient coordination between drivers and passengers, reducing waiting times and optimizing route management.

The user-friendly interface and advanced functionalities of the app resulted in an immediate increase in adoption rates among commuters.

Business Impact

Against common belief, the results were stupendous. Market demand for vehicle pooling more than doubled the original plan, with competition being thrown out of gear. A lot of market buzz was created around the car pool app and intelligent mobility, making overall travel costs lower for commuters. Client profitability was at an all-time high due to increased capacity utilization, triggered by information availability on personal devices, which pushed wider user adoption of the app.
