An app like Uber has emerged to change the entire realm of travelling and made ride sharing an easygoing course. It is now used worldwide as an affordable facility, transforming the functionality to mobile apps to real-time apps. Today, Uber’s on-demand service model can be applied to almost all the industries and their niches. It is not exaggerating to say that the demand for an on-demand solution is increasing with every passing day. People optimise their power of imagination and conceptualise an unforeseen niche with an on-demand solution. Examples come from the fields of healthcare, beauty services and on- demand salons, on-demand mechanic/gas delivery service/transportation/food delivery service etc.
The right approach to planning for an ‘Uber like’ app development is to,
1. Dive into the industry with a Primitive Approach.
2. Build a sustainable model to aggregate the demand in the form of a mobile app for the service providers and customers.
3. Meet this demand of the customers with a distributed supply chain management.
4. Retain your customers.
This is best achieved by formulating an excellent app design, being precarious with the appropriate feature selection and a rather proactive launch phase. Building an Uber clone requires careful planning. Know what the possible innovation for the driver’s and the passenger’s app could be. Once this is clear, you can proceed with the advanced set of features. Uber customer apps must consider the journey from the consumer’s viewpoint. Apart from this, you should always try to attract and retain both the drivers and the customers for a smooth functioning. For the best Uber clone, you need to work on the features and functionalities.
If you’re striving to create your own Uber app (or its counterpart), you must realise that there is the need for two app modules. The original platform consisting of the Driver App designed for drivers partnering with the company and the Passenger App meant for ordinary customers who book their rides. Apart from that, the platform should also come with an admin panel that’s capable of managing and monitoring the platform’s work.
Admin panels are web-based and demand certain efforts on the part of your web development service vendor. It should give you a convenient overview of business processes as well as provide capabilities of managing payrolls and collecting user data.
The basic features on the passenger app are:
• geolocation and routing,
• payment integration,
• registration and personal data management,
• call or text the driver right from the app,
• push notifications,
• ride cost estimation,
• top quality UI and UX design.
The advanced features on the passenger app are:
• scheduling a ride in advance,
• favourite destinations,
• booking a ride for others and
• splitting a fare with companions.
The basic features on the driver app are:
• driver reports,
• advanced route optimisation,
• personal profile editing,
• 'active / inactive' option (active drivers are visible on the map, inactive aren't),
• calling a passenger from the app, and
• generating daily / monthly reports of past bookings and earnings.
The advanced features on the driver app are:
• driver destination,
• quest earnings,
• forward dispatch,
• free cancellation within a stipulated time frame and
• heat maps.
The cost estimation towards the conceptualisation of the app includes decisions as under:
• selection of app operating systems (IOS or Android)
• selection of coding language
• measuring quality and user-friendliness of the UI/UX design
• integration of total number of features in the app
• time consumed to design and develop the app before launching it.
For building a mobile app like Uber for your business, determine the scope of work and then decide upon the number of resources. There are many different types of pricing model that you could choose from – time-based, scope based, fixed price and fixed time pricing model, or dedicated resource hiring. While some of these models are based on the client’s demand, the others are determined by the Mobile app development firm itself. Now brace yourself to build a disruptive business with Uber like app.
