The Problem

Challenges cab services face daily

Slow booking response — customers call and wait on hold while you check driver availability. They hang up and open Ola/Uber instead.

No driver updates — customer has no idea where the cab is. They call you, you call driver, driver doesn't answer. Frustration all around.

Corporate account management — managing bookings for 10+ corporate clients with monthly billing and usage tracking is overwhelming.

Fare disputes — customer says meter was wrong, driver says it was correct. No record of quoted fare vs. actual.

Airport pickup chaos — flight delays mean wasted waiting time. Customer lands and can't find driver.

No repeat business system — happy customers don't remember your number next time. They just open the app they're used to.

Solutions

How App-ening solves these problems

Real solutions using Rules, Sequences, Journeys, and Campaigns — features you'll actually use.

1

Instant Fare Calculator

Rule Starter, Pro, Business

When customers message with pickup and drop locations, instantly provide fare estimate based on distance and vehicle type:

WHEN message contains location keywords THEN calculate distance using Google Maps API THEN send Fare Quote Template → Show all vehicle options → Display fixed pricing → Include estimated time → Highlight no-surge pricing
What you're using: A Rule that triggers when a message contains location keywords. Instant fare quotes give customers the transparency they expect from apps, without surge pricing.

Workflow tip: Highlight "Fixed fare - No surge!" prominently. This is your biggest advantage over Ola/Uber during peak hours!
2

Quick Booking Flow

Journey Pro, Business

Guide customers through pickup time, vehicle selection, and confirmation in a simple conversational flow:

JOURNEY: Quick Booking START when customer selects vehicle type STEP 1: Confirm pickup details → Exact pickup location → Date and time → Number of passengers STEP 2: Show fare summary → Total fare → Inclusions (tolls, etc.) → Payment options STEP 3: Generate booking → Create booking ID → Send confirmation → Schedule driver assignment
What you're using: A Journey with multi-step conversation flow. A streamlined booking flow that takes less than 2 minutes means customers don't have time to open a competitor app.

Workflow tip: Save customer addresses. Next time they can just say "Home to Airport" and you'll know exactly where!
3

Driver Assignment & Updates

Sequence Starter, Pro, Business

Automatically notify customer when driver is assigned with driver details, vehicle number, and live tracking option:

SEQUENCE: Ride Updates 30 mins before: Assign driver → Send driver details to customer → Send customer details to driver When driver starts: → Send ETA update → Include tracking link When driver arrives: → "Your cab has arrived" → Include exact location When trip starts: → Confirm trip started → Share drop ETA
What you're using: A Sequence with timed steps. Real-time updates match the app experience. Customers know exactly who's coming and when.

Workflow tip: Include driver rating from past trips. This builds trust and matches what customers expect from aggregator apps.
4

Trip Completion Receipt

Rule Starter, Pro, Business

Send automatic receipt at trip end with fare breakdown, rating request, and invoice option:

RULE: Trip Completion WHEN trip status = "Completed" SEND receipt message: → Full trip details → Fare breakdown with tolls → Payment confirmation → Rating request → Invoice option for corporate customers
What you're using: A Rule triggered by trip completion. Automatic receipts eliminate fare disputes and build trust for repeat bookings.

Airport Pickup Coordination

Journey Pro, Business

For airport pickups, automatically track flight status, alert driver of delays, and send meeting point details:

JOURNEY: Airport Pickup WHEN booking type = "Airport Pickup" Track flight via FlightAware API: → If delayed: Notify driver, adjust timing → If early: Alert driver to hurry WHEN flight lands: → Send meeting point to customer → Include driver photo and board → Share parking bay details WHEN customer doesn't appear in 20 mins: → Automated check-in message → "Are you at the meeting point?"
What you're using: A Journey with conditional logic based on flight status. Eliminates wasted driver time on delayed flights.

Workflow tip: Send customer photo to driver and driver photo to customer. This makes finding each other effortless!
6

Corporate Account Booking

Journey Business

JOURNEY: Corporate Booking WHEN employee requests ride via company portal STEP 1: Validate employee → Check employee ID → Verify within travel policy STEP 2: Check approval requirement → Under limit: Auto-approve → Over limit: Send to admin STEP 3: Confirm booking → Notify employee → Assign driver → Add to monthly bill END of month: Send usage report → All rides summary → Employee-wise breakdown → Invoice for billing

7

Post-Ride Follow-Up & Loyalty

Sequence Starter, Pro, Business

After trip completion, collect ratings, handle complaints, and offer loyalty rewards:

SEQUENCE: Post-Ride Engagement Immediately after trip: → Send receipt → Request rating IF rating is 1-2: → Apologize → Offer callback from manager → Create support ticket IF rating is 4-5: → Thank you message → Request Google review Every 10 rides: → Send loyalty reward code → Personalized discount offer
What you're using: A Sequence with conditional follow-ups. Collecting ratings helps reward good drivers and address issues before they become reviews.

Workflow tip: If rating is low, call the customer within 2 hours. Quick resolution turns complainers into loyal advocates!
8

What you're using: A Campaign to a filtered segment. Proactive offers during peak travel seasons capture bookings before customers open competitor apps.

Workflow tip: Send campaigns 2-3 weeks before festivals when people are planning travel. Last-minute offers don't work as well!
