Corporate Cab Sharing & Booking App – Optimizing Employee Transportation
Client: A large enterprise with its own fleet of company cabs, looking to optimize corporate transportation for employees.
Industry: Corporate Transportation & Employee Mobility
Technologies Used: Flutter (Android & iOS), .NET Core, SQL Server, Google Maps API, AWS
Project Overview
The client required a Corporate Cab Sharing & Booking App to provide employees with a seamless way to book and share rides in company-owned cabs. The goal was to improve cab utilization, reduce fuel expenses, and enhance employee convenience. Zenkins developed a feature-rich mobile application using Flutter for cross-platform development, with a .NET Core backend and Google Maps API for real-time GPS tracking and route optimization.
The solution enabled employees to:
- Book company cabs based on location and schedule.
- Share rides with colleagues traveling on the same route.
- Track cab movement in real-time and monitor KM traveled for cost management.
- Improve safety with an emergency SOS feature.
This system streamlined cab operations, reduced fuel wastage, and provided real-time reporting for better cost control.

- Inefficient Cab Utilization: Cabs were often underutilized, leading to unnecessary expenses.
- Lack of Ride-Sharing Feature: Employees traveling in the same direction couldn’t easily share rides.
- No Real-Time Tracking: Employees had no visibility into cab location and estimated arrival times.
- Manual Cost Calculation: Distance traveled and cost per ride were not automated.
