About

  • Mahindra - A leading multinational automotive company known for compact and electric vehicles (EVs) wanted to extend its expertise into mobility services. Their aim was a mobile-first shuttle booking platform that lets commuters book EV shuttles with the ease of modern ride-hailing apps, while promoting sustainable last-mile connectivity.

    • Business Challenges

    The client wanted to impress their clients with seamless shuttle booking and riding. The tech giant faced two challenges:

    (i) shuttle booking and tracking by customers

    (ii) route planning and dynamic shuttle allocation for drivers.

    Their existing solution wasn’t able to mitigate the challenges.

    The client was looking for an advanced app solution that helps their customers and drivers with effortless shuttle booking and riding.

    • Manual booking and dispatch processes caused delays and inconsistent service quality.
    • No real-time shuttle visibility, which left passengers uncertain about arrival times.
    • Inefficient ride assignment increased idle vehicle time and operational costs.
    • Separate apps and disconnected workflows for riders and drivers reduced coordination.

    • Solution

    Built a mobile-first shuttle platform using delivery management software principles focused on dispatch, tracking and engagement:

    • Customer app with secure login, one-tap booking and saved locations for repeat users.
    • GPS-enabled tracking that provides real-time shuttle position and ETAs.
    • Smart ride assignment algorithm that prioritizes nearest available EVs and minimizes deadhead distance.
    • Dedicated driver app with navigation, live ride details, status updates and messaging.
    • Engagement features: ratings, comments, push notifications and in-app feedback to close the service loop.
