Project Data
The Challenge
Breaking into the rideshare market dominated by Uber and Lyft is a monumental task. Drivers were tired of high commissions, and riders wanted fairer prices. The technical challenge was to build a robust, real-time dispatch system that could rival the giants in speed and reliability, while the business challenge was to disrupt the pricing model.
The Strategy
We built a zero-commission platform that empowered drivers. On the tech side, we utilized Flutter for a seamless cross-platform experience (iOS & Android) and a Node.js/Socket.io backend for millisecond-latency real-time tracking. We implemented algorithmic pricing that was fair to riders while maximizing driver earnings. Our launch marketing reframed the narrative from "convenience" to "fairness," rallying the local community.
The Outcome
Local Ride successfully carved out a significant market share in Windsor and surrounding areas. The app boasts high retention rates for both drivers and riders. It stands as a testament to technical excellence and disruptive business modeling, facilitating thousands of rides daily with 99.9% uptime.
