A Fairer Ride-Hailing App? Let’s Find Out.
Think of Uber. Every time a driver completes a ride, a big chunk of their earnings goes straight to the platform. Fair? Not really.
Now, imagine a ride-hailing app where drivers keep more of their hard-earned money. They choose between:
- A fixed-time membership (24, 48, or 72 hours) where they pay once and keep 100% of their fares.
- A pay-per-ride model where they pay a small fee for the first few rides, but after reaching a limit, all earnings are theirs.
This isn’t just a concept—it’s exactly what Raindrops Infotech helped build. A new kind of ride-hailing app that challenges the traditional commission-based model and puts drivers in control of their earnings. This app is called Saaruche.
But here’s the real question:
How did Raindrops Infotech develop such a complex app in just two months?
What tech stack did they use? What challenges did they face? And more importantly—why should businesses looking to build their own ride-hailing app trust Raindrops Infotech?
Let’s break it down.
The Challenge: Building a Unique Ride-Hailing Platform From Scratch
The client had a clear vision:
- Put drivers first. Give them better earning opportunities.
- Offer flexible pricing models. Unlike Uber, where commissions eat up earnings, this app lets drivers choose how they pay.
- Ensure a smooth and fast user experience. No one likes slow apps, especially for booking rides.
But here’s where it got tricky.
Most ride-hailing apps follow a simple commission-based model. Building a system with two different pricing models required a completely different approach.
On top of that, the app needed:
- Accurate GPS tracking for live ride updates.
- A robust payment gateway for seamless transactions.
- A smooth booking experience for both drivers and passengers.
And the biggest challenge? Speed. The client wanted the app built fast—without compromising quality.
The Solution: How Raindrops Infotech Made It Happen?
Raindrops Infotech is known for its smart development strategies—building apps efficiently without cutting corners. Here’s how they pulled this off in record time.
Step 1: Picking the Right Tech Stack
To ensure the app was fast, secure, and scalable, Raindrops Infotech chose:
Flutter for the front-end → A cross-platform framework that allows the app to run smoothly on both Android & iOS with a single codebase.
Laravel for the backend → A powerful PHP framework known for speed, security, and scalability—perfect for handling thousands of ride requests.
Google Maps API for real-time tracking → Ensuring precise pickup & drop-off locations and accurate distance calculations.
Stripe & Razorpay for payments → Safe, fast, and seamless transactions for both drivers and passengers.
Firebase for real-time notifications → Instant updates on ride status, payments, and new ride requests.
This tech stack wasn’t chosen randomly. Each tool was picked to ensure high performance, security, and a flawless user experience.
Step 2: Rapid Development Without Starting From Scratch
Most companies would take 6+ months to build a ride-hailing app. Raindrops did it in 2 months. How?
Instead of building everything from zero, they used a smart development approach:
- They started with an existing prototype. Since Raindrops Infotech had worked on a similar project before, they already had a base structure in place.
- They focused on customizations. Instead of reinventing the wheel, the team modified and optimized the prototype to fit the client’s unique requirements.
- They used agile development. Weekly sprints, regular testing, and immediate feedback loops helped the team move faster and fix issues on the go.
This approach saved time without sacrificing quality.
Step 3: Testing & Fine-Tuning for a Perfect Ride Experience
No app is perfect on the first try. Before launch, the Raindrops team rigorously tested every part of the system:
- GPS tracking accuracy → Ensuring precise ride locations.
- Booking flow optimization → Making the ride request process seamless.
- Load testing → Ensuring the app could handle thousands of users without lag.
- Payment gateway security → No risks, no delays—just smooth transactions.
- User experience refinements → Making sure both drivers and passengers could navigate the app effortlessly.
After multiple test runs, adjustments, and refinements, the app was ready to go live.
The Result: A Fully Functional Ride-Hailing App in Just 2 Months
Most ride-hailing apps take at least 6–12 months to develop. Raindrops Infotech built this one in just 2 months—without compromising on quality.
- The app works flawlessly.
- Drivers love the fair pricing model.
- Passengers enjoy a smooth booking experience.
- The client is happy and now attracting investors!
Yes, you read that right. Investors are already showing interest in scaling this app. That’s the power of a well-built product.
