Job ID: 39182458

Budget: $250 – $750 CAD

Project Title:
Development of a taxi Application Similar to Uber

Project Overview:
We are seeking a skilled and experienced developer (or team of developers) to build a custom rideshare application for our transportation business. This app should allow users to request rides, track drivers in real-time, and process payments seamlessly. On the back end, it should provide our dispatch team with the tools necessary to assign bookings to drivers, track trip progress, and handle any necessary communication.

Our primary objective is to create a user-friendly platform that connects passengers with available drivers, streamlining our operations and enhancing the overall experience for both parties.

Key Features for the App:

User Registration & Profiles:

Riders and drivers should each have distinct accounts.
Riders should be able to manage payment methods, view trip history, and set preferences.
Drivers should be able to manage availability, view assigned rides, and access earnings data.
Ride Request and Matching:

Riders enter pickup and drop-off locations and receive fare estimates.
Nearby drivers receive ride requests, with the option to accept or decline.
Once a driver accepts, the rider is notified and can track their arrival in real-time.
In-App Navigation and Tracking:

Integrated GPS and mapping to guide drivers to pickup and drop-off locations.
Real-time location tracking so riders can see their driver’s progress.
Payment Integration:

In-app payment processing (credit/debit cards, digital wallets).
Secure handling of payment details and transaction history.
Ratings and Feedback:

Riders and drivers can rate each other and leave reviews after each trip.
Feedback can help maintain quality standards and enhance the service.
Admin Dashboard:

A web-based admin panel to view and manage all bookings.
Tools for dispatching drivers, monitoring ongoing rides, and managing rider/driver accounts.
Reporting and analytics features to track key performance metrics.
Technologies and Frameworks:

Front-End: Native mobile frameworks (Swift for iOS, Kotlin/Java for Android) or cross-platform solutions (Flutter, React Native).
Back-End: RESTful API, secure authentication methods, and scalable database architecture (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
Real-Time Features: WebSocket or Firebase for live location tracking and real-time communication.
Payment Gateway: Integration with a trusted payment processor (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, Square).
Deliverables:

Fully functional mobile application for iOS and Android.
Responsive and intuitive admin dashboard accessible from the web.
Source code, deployment instructions, and any relevant documentation.
Post-launch support for bug fixes and minor adjustments (to be discussed).
Desired Qualifications:

Proven experience in developing rideshare or on-demand service applications.
Strong knowledge of real-time location services and mapping APIs.
Expertise in mobile and back-end development, including experience with payment gateway integration.
Familiarity with designing and implementing scalable architectures.
