Uber’s Successful Model opens another level of disruptive opportunities in similar app development for your business
Yes, you are correct. Uber, the best possible on-demand taxi service through mobile applications and websites, brought a disruptive change in the world of traditional taxi services and the app development for the travel & hospitality industry. And why not? The ingenious business model helps users to book a ride at a tap simply. That’s it? NO! It allows customers to reach their destinations in the least possible time.
For the driver’s end, anyone owning a car is eligible to be at the customer’s service and can make a parallel income. Complete on-demand services ecosystem wherein Uber just connects the dots. Simply put, Happy customers + Happy drivers = Happy Uber Revenue
Revolutionizing the taxi industry, Uber put its best foot forward by allowing any individual to register his/her own car as a service by providing Android and iOS native mobile apps developed as tools, thereby setting up a crew of drivers. On the other hand, by providing car services at the doorstep, that too at a mere single-step mobile interface, Uber knocked the user’s space and appealed to them to try it out at least once.
With a simple booking process, users could not get over Uber and listed it as their default riding service.
The booking process on apps consists of booking the ride, entering the pickup point, and the destination.
The app is made in a way that when a user wants to book a ride, it automatically fetches the user’s location and searches for the available drivers in the nearest possible radius. Also, the Uber app displays the estimated fare and time to hail towards the destination. Once, the driver confirms the ride and reaches the user, the UBER RIDE BEGINS.
There is a navigation module that helps the driver head towards the destination without facing any ambiguity about the road.
On the completion of the journey, the user automatically gets the notification about the total fare and can settle it using various payment options offered by Uber.
That’s the complete practical package you need to dominate the markets like Uber.
