Coming to Nigeria. The newly redesigned app from Uber.


Last week, Uber announced the complete redesign of its new driver app.
About 2 years now, complaints have crept up from drivers about the old Uber apps, and Uber has listened.

It appears that this is a result of Uber’s new campaign of treating drivers better. This campaign was called 180 days of change. During 180 days of change, Uber rolled out driver friendly features on the app, features such as in-app messaging, introduction of airport queues among many other upgrades.

In true post-Kalanick form(Travis Kalanick is the founder and former CEO of Uber), the company has embarked on a driver-centric approach to its policy making.

Make no mistake, the customer is still king and is still at the heart of Uber’s network, but now, Uber is determined to treat its drivers as a close partner, because it understands that drivers are the arteries of the network.

Instead of taking the traditional Travis Kalanick approach, Uber did the logical thing, the company teamed up with drivers to redesign the new app. It carried out extensive conversation and interviews and came out with a magnificent and simple app. The most obvious feature is that it shows the most important information without cluttering up the screen like the old app.

The new app is beautiful. At the top of the screen lies a real-time earnings tracker, to let drivers know how much they made on the last trip, it also makes it easier to
• track progress,
• quests, incentives, and goals,

The old app was a bit cumbersome and sometimes, you had to scroll down to see your current earnings.
Also, the surge map has been redesigned. There were colored hexagons to show you the surge, now, you can see an integrated module which shows the street names of where the surge is located, so drivers can know how to place themselves relative to the surge.

Notifications are better too. According to Uber, “the Notifications feature lets drivers see messages about upcoming earning opportunities, feedback from their riders, and information about their account”. Notifications now function sort of like an inbox, where you can see cached messages.

Another really important thing is the new app functions better on old android phones and in areas with poor reception. This is very good news for drivers.
There is also a new status bar that shows drivers where to go to get better boost or incentive earnings.

The new app will take a few months to roll out to rideshare drivers in Abuja and Lagos. So the jury is still out on whether this new driver app will be a hit or a bust. Whichever it is, I’m still itching to get my hands on it and try it out.

Thanks for reading this, new articles coming soon.
Please feel free to comment.

Hello,

Welcome to Fleet Man; Fleet Management by Taxi App Guy.

Fleet Man is Taxi App Guy’s  Fleet Management platform where we manage vehicles on behalf of investors who do not have the wish to monitor their vehicles themselves.

Here at Taxi App guy, we know that return on investment and asset security is foremost on our partner’s minds. Our systems and processes ensure that your money is remitted and your vehicle lives its best life.

We submit our driver operators to the most rigorous security checks to ensure that whoever ends up driving your vehicle is well known by us- and by extension- you. Which reduces the risk of mismanagement by drivers or  non-remittance of your weekly returns.

We also have a tried and tested method of recovering your remittance in case the operator driver defaults, refuses to pay or drops your vehicle and moves on to another one.

We know this is one of the most common and challenging scenarios that occurs in the Partner-Driver contract. Our involvement will help mitigate your risks. We make sure your operator remits your money weekly and on time, in the event that the operator does not meet up to his/her obligations, Taxi App Guy will help you follow up on defaulting drivers and their guarantors to make sure your remittances are paid.

We also do this in the event of vehicle damage by operator.

Our fleet management system is fully automated, making sure you have the best experience with your fleet management company

Here are some of the features we include in our service

·         Vehicle Maintenance Scheduling (Servicing, Brake pads, Oil fills etc)

·         Predictive Maintenance

·         Cost per Mile or Cost per hour to keep a tight leash on your accounting

·         Vehicle Papers Renewal Scheduling (Insurance, Road worthiness, Tint permits etc)

·         VIN decoding

·         Asset, Driver and Fuel Management

·         Issue reporting and management (be notified immediately there is an issue with your vehicle and steps on how to solve the issues)

·         Repair Tracking

·         Fleet operation reports

·         Accident documentation (Hopefully, we’ll never have to use this feature)

·         Location and Activity history

Our clients can download our fleet management app and be able to monitor activities on their vehicle, they can get vehicle inspection reports every morning, they can see service history and scheduled maintenance reports, they can access receipts and other important features relative to your vehicle on our platform.

These are just a few of our services, interested clients can call us to find out more about how we do what we do.

As a client, relating with us is a breeze. Once you call our customer care platform, our system can automatically detect your phone number and make your vehicle details available to our customer service agent and you.

We make it very easy for you to enjoy our services, we know and streamline all the usual bottlenecks involved in investing in ridesharing. And make your investment journey as smooth as can be.
