The challenge

SmileTake wanted to compete with Uber in Kuwait's taxi market. Their operation ran entirely on phone-based dispatching — no live tracking, no digital payment, no scalable fleet management.

  • All bookings via phone calls and manual dispatch
  • No real-time driver tracking or ride visibility for customers
  • Inefficient driver assignment causing long customer wait times
  • No digital payment or structured ride history
What we built

DH Solutions built a complete three-sided Uber-style ride-hailing platform — a customer app with live tracking, a driver app with full job management, and an admin panel for fleet operations.

  • Customer app — instant/scheduled booking, live GPS tracking, fare estimation
  • Driver app — ride request management, navigation, earnings dashboard
  • Admin dashboard — fleet management, real-time monitoring, dynamic pricing
  • Automated nearest-driver matching for instant allocation
  • WebSocket-based real-time GPS for concurrent rides at scale
