Abstract

The ride-hailing market is dominated by several large corporations, which makes competition highly fierce for businesses in the domain. Taxi4U is a large airport and seaport transfer service in the UK, and its success comes from occupying a specific niche and offering better pricing options to customers.

However, lower prices are not enough to make your customers love you. Modern consumers are hooked on experiences, and the better experience you give, the more money you make. That was precisely the case here; Taxi4U needed to revolutionize its customer experience and to achieve that, it needed a user-friendly and intuitive mobile app that would let the clients order a taxi in a matter of two taps on their smartphones. Intersog offered the right set of solutions to make the vision for this app come to life.

Client

Taxi4U provides airport and seaport transfer services across the UK’s major cities and several cities across Europe and Canada. One distinctive feature of Taxi4U is that its fleet consists of either electric or hybrid vehicles only, which makes it an attractive transfer option for many customers. The company offers reasonable price tags, eco-friendly transportation, and exceptional service quality. 

Product

Intersog developed two versions of the mobile app on iOS and Android. One app version supports the client side, and the other supports the driver side.

Challenge

Taxi4U specializes in airport and seaport transfers, so it is a highly specialized business that focuses on a single type of service. With fierce competition in the market and with a large chunk of it being occupied by ride-hailing giants like Uber, Taxi4U needed to find a way to stand out and outdo the competition in its service segment.

Choosing quite a narrow specialization, Taxi4U needed a robust and user-friendly mobile application to offer drivers and clients a comfortable and satisfying experience.

As mentioned above, Intersog was tasked with developing two versions of the app: one for the drivers and one for the passengers, and each of those versions had to have several unique features. To achieve that, we came up with a specific set of solutions.
