Project Summary

Algoworks built an iOS and Android ride-sharing application targeting foreign drivers and non-native English speakers, with features for booking, location tracking, multilingual translation, safety alerts, and payment integration. The vendor supplied a development team and a business analyst, delivered the initial release on a fixed-cost model, and the client praised their responsiveness, idea generation, and adherence to budget and schedule. The app was delivered after a five-month engagement and discussions for a next version (including a loyalty program) were ongoing.

Key Challenges

  • Needed development resources for the app.

Project Deliverables

  • GPS tracking functionality
  • Multilingual destination-translation features

Project Solution

Algoworks developed both the Android and iOS versions of a ride-sharing application. The vendor supplied a team of developers (15) and provided one business analyst who worked with the client's project manager to gather requirements. Key features implemented included GPS tracking, multilingual destination-translation, a VPN for in-app browsing, social-login, a whistle-blowing feature for drivers to report incidents or roadblocks, real-time location sharing, and payment integration via open APIs. The engagement was delivered on a fixed-cost model; the initial delivery occurred after a five-month engagement.
