UI & UX
While considering an app for an Electric Scooters and taxi service- we had to ensure that the interface is beneficial to both (people and drivers). Our experienced developers created the app using JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) to ensure a light weight data interchange.
Tracking Integration
Offering Google Map integrated interface, our app developers team enabled a GPS (Global Positioning Location) that can allow people to connect with the closest driver, riders and pinpoint their start and end location. This will automatically eliminate the need to manually add location details, especially for people who are new in the city.
24/7 Instant Support
Last, we wanted to offer a feature that could allow people to communicate with the driver/riders on-the-go in the case of a sudden change to pick and drop requirements.
