Problem Statement
Initially, the client partnered with a different development company but was dissatisfied with the final product due to several critical issues.
The app contained numerous bugs, including incorrect implementation of Google Location APIs, a malfunctioning Socket integration (a core project component), and significant speed issues. The application was not market-ready. Consequently, the client sought our expertise for redevelopment.
Solution Provided by KodMatrix:
Upon taking over the project, we thoroughly tested the entire application for all possible user flows, identifying reusable modules and components requiring redevelopment from scratch.
Key Actions Taken
- Socket Integration: Focused on stabilizing socket connections for real-time ride updates.
- Google APIs: Corrected the integration of Google Location APIs and optimized price predictions using Google services.
- Payment Gateway: Improved payment flow by enhancing the Stripe integration.
- Algorithm Development: Developed advanced algorithms for price calculation and ride prediction to improve user experience.
Results
The client is highly satisfied with the results, and the product has become a significant revenue generator. They are now focusing on expanding their marketing efforts to attract more corporate clients and personal customers.
Conclusion
Looking ahead, we have outlined a two-year development roadmap, which includes:
- Developing a new application for a child company.
- Integrating AI features for personalized ride suggestions and improved ride experiences.
- Continued maintenance and support for the current production application.
Our ongoing collaboration aims to ensure long-term success and further expansion for Vert’s business operations.
