A complete ride-hailing ecosystem with real-time driver tracking, in-app payments, dynamic pricing, and offline-first architecture. purpose-built for the African market.
Visit SiteWhat We Were Up Against
Shaxi needed a ride-hailing platform that could handle the unique realities of the African market. unreliable internet connectivity, mobile money-first payments, and the need for real-time driver matching across areas with poor GPS coverage.
Key Pain Points
- Unreliable mobile data in many service areas required offline-first architecture
- Payment ecosystem dominated by mobile money, not credit cards
- GPS accuracy issues in densely built urban areas
- Need for real-time driver matching with sub-second response times
- Dynamic pricing that accounts for local market conditions
- Both rider and driver apps needed to work on low-end Android devices
How We Solved It
We built a Flutter-based cross-platform system with a Laravel backend, designed from the ground up for the constraints of the African mobile ecosystem.
What We Built
- Flutter for native-feel cross-platform apps that run well on budget devices
- Offline-first data sync with conflict resolution using background queues
- Integrated Paystack and mobile money SDKs for seamless local payments
- Custom location service with cell tower triangulation fallback for poor GPS areas
- Real-time WebSocket-based driver matching with geographic clustering
- Dynamic pricing engine with time-of-day, demand, and traffic inputs
- Admin dashboard for fleet management, analytics, and customer support
Measurable Impact
Shaxi launched successfully and quickly gained traction in the Ghanaian market, validating the offline-first and mobile money-first approach.
