Miss Uber? Hirna will take the turn
Uber once led the competition in the ride-sharing business in Philippines due to their highly efficient business model. Now that they’re gone, commuters are once again faced with the same dilemma before ride sharing took off. Philippines taxi companies are now in the need of building a fully branded and customized taxi dispatch app to seamlessly manage their day-to-day operations and grow their business. Hirna is a good homegrown Transport Network Companies.
THE CHALLENGE OF HIRNA
Factors like assigning drivers to each passenger, keeping the record of which taxis are available, and their whereabouts need to be done manually in a manual dispatch software. This usually becomes difficult for Hirna as a growing enterprise in the industry.
What’s more, the company cannot measure the efficiency and productivity of the drivers. So, there are chances that the business suffers from under-utilized resources. Eventually, it affects negatively on the ROI.
Thinking of developing their own apps? This will be really expensive and time-consuming, and it even costs Hirna a large deal of resource to run the whole dispatching system. Things will get worse when the company have to manage a team of thousands of fleets as well as E-hailing service in multiple cities. No matter how careful they are, they will soon make a mess.
