Enhanced Fleet Dispatch System for Competitive Taxi and Private Hire Operations

A prominent transportation provider faces efficiency bottlenecks in managing high-volume taxi and private hire bookings, limited map data accuracy, and insufficient real-time vehicle tracking, leading to decreased customer satisfaction and operational costs. Additionally, their existing mobile booking app lacks responsiveness and feature depth needed during peak seasons.
