Have you ever felt that in the last 10 years, there has been a surge in the number of app-based businesses? If yes, then it is because of the success of the taxi giant Uber. Uber owes its success to its less ownership model. They operate millions of cabs worldwide but none of them is owned by them. Not only in the taxi business, but the Uber business model is also replicated in many other areas by many startups and some of them have tasted success in it too. Below I have mentioned some of the successful on-demand app-based startups and the specific strategy that made them successful. Cab industry Lyft: Lyft operates in the US and Canada as of now. It is a direct competitor to Uber in the US. Two people started Lyft in 2012 as a ride-sharing platform in some US universities. Now its yearly revenue stands at $2billion. Their success strategy is that is treats the drivers the same way it treats its customers. Go-Jek: This Indonesia based taxi firm is the first of its kind in Indonesia and also the first unicorn startup. They started as bike riding firm in 2010 with 20 bikers but now offer over 18 services like handyman, taxi booking, food delivery etc in their app. Today, the total value of the company is $10 billion. Food delivery GrubHub: This is the world’s no.1 food delivery company operating from America. It went public in 2014 after going through a series of fundings. Their success strategy is that they pamper the customers with 24/7 customer care service. DoorDash: It is the second largest food delivery company in the US just behind GrubHub. They started this company in 2013 from the Stanford dorm. After that, they got a series of funding which also includes funding from Sequoia Capital. Beneath, they are a rigorous data-driven company. Courier delivery Dropoff: Dropoff is one of its kind courier delivery firm which follows same day, last mile delivery. Unlike consumer delivery model, dropoff work on B2B model and they are the first of its kind. The on-demand courier delivery market is still untapped in many countries. The competition is not much in this market unlike cab booking and food delivery. Postmates: It is somewhat different from Dropoff in the sense that they deliver goods locally via C2C model. Their success strategy is, they deliver goods between stores which are only offline.

What is unique in this startup is it offers telemedicine services with specialized doctors. This firm is based in New Zealand. They offer naturopathy and homeopathy treatments also. ClassPass: This app allows interested people to book fitness classes of any kind like yoga, aerobics, indoor cycling, martial arts, etc. It operated in 2500 cities worldwide. They are more than a fitness class because they offer health advice. Hometeam: This startup is dedicated completely to the care of older adults. Hometeam connects caregivers with the elders. They are banking on the aging population in the US. Similarly, the UK, Japan, Australia, China are on the verge of becoming an aging population and there are good scopes in these countries for elderly care startups. Handyman services Handy: Handy is an online two-sided marketplace for house cleaning, installation, AC repair, plumbing, laundry, and other home services in one app. It was founded by two college grads in their final year. They wanted to create a marketplace for home services with the same model as that of the Uber. TaskRabbit: This is similar to handy. It is the first on-demand handyman services firm that came as early in 2008. Now, this firm is acquired by IKEA and it is currently operational in the US, UK, and Canada. More than 60,000 workers have registered with TaskRabbit. Even many people have turned it a full-time work with TaskRabbit. Miscellaneous Petcab: They are a successfully running pet taxi firm in Asia. They offer many services including veterinary, grooming, hospitality and many more at affordable rates. Businesses similar to this have great potential in the US and UK. MiumMium: This is the largest app cum web-based chef marketplace. Choose a chef of your choice to cook at your home. They are operational in more than 10 countries with the US and Canada as their main function. Above you have seen different on-demand startups similar to the Uber business model that is successful. All of them are unicorn startups in the sense that each of them is valued more than $1 billion. They just took the core of the Uber business model and built the remaining with their innovation and creativity that’s why they are successful. Just like the above startups, SpotnRides have created and deployed apps for many exciting startups.

How Machine Learning is Revolutionizing Truck Dispatch Process
The latest buzz word in the tech industry is Machine Learning (Hereafter we will call it ML). ML comes under artificial intelligence. ML gives computer software the ability to learn, correct themselves and improve their task performance. In simple words, ML enables the software to take own decision and be intelligent. In the truck industry, every process can be made smart if we use ML. Truck fleet management industry is poised to reach $16 trillion by 2025. Below are some ways on how ML can help truck fleet management Inventory optimization Machine Learning helps monitor both inventory and truck loading at the same time in a balanced way so that one is not affected by the other. Machine Learning can even manage the suppliers and the number of trucks available for delivery. Smart learning algorithms in ML offer all these information ahead of time so clients know the exact price and availability of inventory for future delivery. Machine learning also offers the best strategy to optimize inventory using data analysis. Cost reduction One of the important reason for using Ml is cost reduction. Since all the stakeholders involved in truck logistics use apps loaded with machine learning, all the process make wiser decisions and help reduce overall costs, and improve delivery systems. Overall costs including inventory costs are reduced because of ML. ML also aids in quick customers redressal and response. Visual Pattern Recognition Artificial Intelligence coupled with ML can recognize patterns and images, which can be used to inspection and maintenance in supply chain networks. Get Free Demo – WhatsApp | Skype Load Cost Estimation Since the price of the product is volatile, it is difficult to estimate the cost quickly. Machine learning features help monitor these conditions and choose the right price based on delivery time. Machine learning uses previous data to predict future stats and figures. Machine Learning algorithms also monitor a series of factors such as traffic, weather, socio-economic challenges that help companies reach a fair price. Route optimization Already there is a route optimization tool used by many truck logistics firms. But ML-based route optimization is more efficient since it takes lots of factors into account before giving the optimum route. Data Analytics Machine Learning works with an enormous amount of data to make the system smarter and better. Apart from that, this data can be used to extract some meaningful information using data analytics. Forecasting demand for new products, inventory requirement, distance traveled by trucks, costs incurred per delivery can be ascertained using the report from data analytics. Companies are now coming forward to keep their ML systems updated to have an efficient data analytics process. Technology Innovation Technology innovation is the important driver in any industry, as the logistics industry stresses under the pressure to deliver goods faster and cheaper. The supply chain system should be constantly innovated. The on-demand apps incorporated with machine learning offer a convenient solution for this dynamic industry. More can be done using machine learning apart from the above uses. The data we get from ML can be used to revolutionize the truck dispatch business. It is important to make use of these data properly and it is complete with the user. ML combined with artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things will always position your business ahead of the competitors.

Cost and Features of Developing a Mobile App Solution like UberEats for Restaurant based Food Delivery Business
The restaurant business is a highly competitive market. You have to constantly innovate to be in the competition. Now with app-based food delivery system, you can be different from the competitors. Mobile food delivery system can act as indirect marketing for your restaurant. People may come to know about your restaurant dishes and prices even if they are far away from the restaurant. If you are a small restaurant but have exciting dishes, surely online food ordering app will help a lot for your business. Cost of developing a food ordering app like UberEats for your restaurant Firstly, I would definitely recommend using app clone scripts which is similar to food delivery apps like UberEats and Foodpanda for your business. Because developing an app from scratch is very expensive and it will take a lot of time. Developing from scratch costs anywhere in between $20,000 to $40,000. There is not a definitive price for developing an app using app clone script. But the cost is way below the cost of developing from scratch. The platform(iOS, Android) in which the app is going to work influences the cost of developing a lot. So, be clear with the platform you are going to use. If the app needs to cover large people then it should be designed to work on the web also. Factors that influence the cost of app development App UI/UX is very important since it helps to establish a connection with the customer. Compromising on the UI/UX design can be detrimental to the business. Even it costs a lot, spending in app design is worth it. Size and scalability of the app, whether it needs a database or not. This factor plays a crucial role in determining the number of funds required to develop the app. If you need to scale the app to unlimited users, vast operation region then the cost increases accordingly. Advanced features like data sync, geo-location, in-app camera, priority delivery, and push notification add to the cost of the app. Wallet feature and its inclusion also affect the overall cost incurred in developing the app. Indispensable features in food delivery app Once you have decided the budget and features required based on your business model and operating region, approach the right vendor for the UberEats clone script. SpotnEats is an app development firm which specializes in creating apps dedicated to on-demand markets. SpotnEats can develop food delivery app similar to UberEats for your business. We can alter the app based on your requirement. Menu browsing and ordering are made easier and hassle-free for the user in our app. Apart from the features you ask, there are some features which are necessary to the food delivery app. Table reservation feature Apart from food ordering and delivering on the app, the user who wants to dine in at your restaurant can reserve the table. This feature should be made in such a way that the user can reserve the table, specify the time and also order the food so that the user doesn’t need to wait for food. Ordering and payment feature The payment system is imperative in an on-demand app. Multiple payment options should be there so that it is flexible for people to choose the convenient payment option. The payment system is designed to be very safe and secure. SpotnEats follow a set of standards while establishing a payment system. Menu browsing This feature should be on the front page of the app. The user should feel easy to use this. Its design should not irk the user. The menu bar should have proper search option with proper arrangement of food according to their cuisine. The user should be able to find the menu subcategories and able to move the dish to the cart for ordering. Offers, Referrals, and Discounts To make the customer use the app for the first time it is necessary to provide offers and discounts on the food menu. In a survey, it is found that many people use food delivery app just for the offers and discounts on it. Using push notification, offers, referrals, and discounts can be sent to the user. In addition to the offers, repeated users can be provided with loyalty points. Such a feature can build a brand image among the people’s mind.

Understand the Technologies Behind The Splendour Success of our On-demand Taxi App Booking Solution Similar to Uber
Everything in this world is influenced by demand. All the product and services firms work to balance the supply-demand ratio since failure to balance it can be detrimental to the company. The same applies to on-demand taxi companies. They hold the number one position in the on-demand market. But that should not make them complacent. So, they have to constantly innovate and improve their solution. Even the on-demand taxi industry was introduced after a series of innovation in the existing taxi services to the point that its services are provided on demand. Below I have mentioned the working of some of the features taxi solutions and the technology stack behind them. Notifications All on-demand services send notifications to their users. Taxi companies also send push notifications, SMS, alerts, etc to their users. Push notification Text notifications and push notifications are sent for the following stages. For the driver: Accept/Decline ride request For Customer: Ride accepted, ride declined, cab arriving. Normally, push notification is not sent when the user is offline. SpotnRides use Google Cloud Messaging(GCM) for its Android app and Apple push notification service for iOS app. SMS notification Twilio, Nexmo, Plivo, and Sinch are the leading SMS notification, service provider. GPS location GPS is used for two purposes in taxi solution. One is to locate the device and second is for route navigation. The first priority while providing this service is real-time updation and accuracy. The technology service used for this is. Inter-app communication The driver app and the customer app has to be able to communicate between them. Improper communication between them will earn a bad name for the company. Most of the communication takes place on the cloud. But the driver app should be always online for communication. Some of the instances where they communicate are. Sending ride request to drivers Live Location Pick up and drop off location Chat between driver and passenger app Cancellation Payment The payment in cab booking services is not limited to cash payment. Digital payments like eWallet, net banking, credit/debit card can also be done. Split fare feature is available in case of carpooling in the taxi. Payment gateway Braintree and Swipe are the two biggest payment gateway system that is widely used. Infrastructure and storage Web panel SpotnRides use the latest language like node JS for web panel development. Mobile programming language Above is the list of all technologies used for mobile app development processes like image loading, architecture, logging, networking, etc in both Android and iOS. The list I mentioned above is the best in the market. Even leading on-demand firms like Uber, Ols, Postmates, Lyft, Airbnb, just to name a few uses these technology stacks. An added advantage of using the best in the market technologies are bug-free, error-free, and a seamless application. Our flagship products include SpotnRides and SpotnEats.

Things to Do to Start an On-Demand Taxi Company Apart from Developing an App
Taxi industry overview The app-based taxi industry is no. one in the on-demand market among other services. The app-based taxi service has now moved to other areas like limousine service, airport shuttle, pet taxi, just to name a few. The growth and penetration of smartphones and the internet have propelled the taxi business to new heights. Industry giant Uber operates millions of cars and none of them is owned by them. And this less ownership model is the reason for the success of this industry. Now is a great time to enter this business. Already many of the new players have tasted success in their local region. Apart from developing a booking system for your company, there are many other things to do like whether using own fleets or not, getting on-board the drivers, marketing plan for the company, etc. Before seeing the above things, answer the following questions Competitor analysis You definitely need to analyze the competitors in your region and find their revenue model, pricing, features offered, target audience, etc. This allows you to try new things and be different from them. Target audience This area is very important. First, know who your target audience is and then take a survey to find whether the operating regions have got the target audience. Sometimes people start businesses in the area with a very small target audience and end up incurring huge losses. How is the future? There is huge potential for business growth at the macro level doesn’t mean that the same applies to small business run in a local region. So, be clear with the future prospect of your business. Establishing the Taxi fleet There are two ways you can add taxis to your company. One is by buying all the taxis required for the business. Two is attaching third-party cars to your company. Buying the entire fleet for your business is very costly and not everyone can do it. Calculate the ROI, Annual growth rate estimated revenue of your business before deciding to buy the fleet. If you own the fleet, there will be additional expenses like maintenance, inspection, repair work, etc. Compute the unit economics for the business if you own all the fleet. Clearly, the cons of owning the entire fleet outweigh the pros. Also, the Uber model of less ownership is completely removed when you decide to own the fleet. Instead, you can allow third-party persons to attach their car in your taxi business. They can join as a partner and for every ride, a particular commission is sent to them. In this case, you invest only on the app development and other infrastructure. This model can be a new source of income for those who have a car and want to monetize from it. In firms like Uber and Ola, drivers are earning more than $800 per month. Payment settlement for the drivers is made every day. There are some procedures to be followed before attaching a third party vehicle. The car owner has to provide some documents like license, insurance, registration certificate, proof, tourist permit, etc. Overall when you see that attaching a car to the company is more beneficial both for business and the car owner. Legal documents required to run on-demand taxi firms Below I have mentioned some important documents required to run your on-demand firms. This list is made keeping in mind the US. For other countries not all of these documents are necessary. Business and liability insurance Tax Payer’s ID Fire certificate Certificate of Incorporation Business License Non-disclosure Agreement Employment Agreement (offer letters) Employee’s Handbook Operating Agreement for LLCs Insurance Policy Online Terms of Use Online Privacy Policy Document (basically for online payment portal) Company Bylaws Building License Financing your taxi firm Although starting an app-based taxi booking firm is not much capital intensive but customer acquisition and market expansion may require a lot of investment. Before choosing the way to finance your firm, have a perfect business plan and revenue model. Here are some of the ways of financing your company. Raising money from personal savings and sale of personal stocks and properties Raising money from investors and venture capitals Sell of shares to interested investors Applying for a bank loan Pitching your business idea and applying for business grants and seed funding from angel investors Customer acquisition and marketing plan Even if you have a great product/service, it is meaningful only if you take it to the people. You have to woo the prospective people, target audience towards your business. When it comes to taxi booking market, the starting point of customer acquisition is making people download your taxi booking app. One-time discounts, referrals, offers can be provided for users who download the taxi app. Apart from this, you have to be sure that you elevate the brand name and company profile while promoting. Below are some of the ways to market the app. Advertise your business in relevant magazines, radio and TV stations. List your business on local directories/yellow pages Attend international transportation expos, seminars, startup fests, and business fairs Create different packages for different category of clients in order to work with their budgets Use social media platforms to promote your business. Join local chambers of commerce and industries around you with the aim of networking and marketing your services sometimes you are likely to get referrals from such networks. Engage the services of marketing executives and business development managers to carry out marketing Strategies to boost your business Boosting business sales can be done through existing customers, social media, print media, etc. Word of mouth through existing loyal customers can be very useful and also instills a sense of trust. Providing cab service at a discount to certain company employees or business organization or particular townships through tie-ups. Brand all your official cars and ensure that all your staff members and management staff wear your branded shirt or cap at regular intervals. Develop the app booking system at SpotnRides So far we
