Shaxi Driver App
Empowering Drivers with Smart Ride Management
The driver-side companion to Shaxi's ride-hailing platform. featuring real-time ride requests, earnings tracking, navigation, and offline-capable ride management built for African roads.
What We Were Up Against
Shaxi drivers needed a dedicated app that could handle ride requests reliably in areas with poor connectivity while providing clear earnings visibility and efficient navigation.
Key Pain Points
- Drivers needed to receive ride requests instantly even on 2G/3G networks
- Earnings tracking had to be transparent and real-time to build trust
- Navigation needed to work offline in areas without data coverage
- App had to run smoothly on low-end Android devices common among drivers
- Push notifications needed to be reliable for time-sensitive ride requests
- Driver onboarding and document verification required a streamlined flow
How We Solved It
We built a lightweight Flutter app optimized for driver workflows, with background services for ride matching and offline-first data synchronization.
What We Built
- Flutter app optimized for low-RAM devices with lazy loading and image caching
- Background service for receiving ride requests even when app is minimized
- Offline ride tracking that syncs when connectivity returns
- Real-time earnings dashboard with daily, weekly, and monthly breakdowns
- Integrated Google Maps navigation with offline map caching
- Firebase Cloud Messaging for reliable push notifications
- Document upload flow for license, insurance, and vehicle verification
Measurable Impact
The driver app enabled Shaxi to onboard thousands of drivers efficiently, with high satisfaction rates and reliable ride acceptance.
