How to Develop Your Own On-demand Taxi Booking App With Custom UI & In-Depth Analytics

Hello, I'm trying to design an app for booking taxis to launch my own ride-hailing service by 2022. Do you have any specific software or features that will distinguish my service in comparison to my competitors. This would allow me to compete in this competitive market by having the right mobile app to run my taxi business.

@everly10198 So you want us to come up with your business plan…?

If you want to enter the hail riding business then you need to decide on what you can do to differentiate yourselves from competitors.

@everly10198 I would suggest writing it all out (design) with pencil and paper first to make sure you have whats needed. I did logistics software for a major trucking / logistics company and pre-designing much of it on paper helped visualize what was needed, ie., like form design as there were many lookup areas on forms for multiple pick and drop loads.

I also suggest you take some business courses, learn A/R, A/P, driver settlements (payroll), bookkeeping, etc. As these skills are invaluable in logistics. I would also suggest learning a good accounting program, in the past I used Peachtree accounting. But there are some good open source available.

Or for accounting, after taking some courses, you could custom program some bookkeeping / accounting modules yourself.

As for mobile, choose which language you want, like react native is one. Or do a PWA if you want.
