The rider app

Book a car in three screens

Request, track, settle. Every screen was cut back until only what a commuter needs on a Dhaka pavement was left.

Product principles

Five decisions that shaped the app

Safety first

Verified drivers, secure payments and passenger protection. Trip records carry the vehicle, registration and an OTP handover, so both sides of a ride are accountable.

Ease of use

A simple booking process on a clean interface. Saved addresses, a vehicle picker and a schedule step — nothing between the user and a confirmed trip.

Fast rides

Quick response times and optimised routes. Requests reach nearby partners immediately, and the map keeps the rider oriented for the whole journey.

Affordable options

Budget-friendly fares for everyday commuters, with the receipt broken down into trip fare, discount and total before anyone pays.

Local focus

Tailored for Bangladesh's transport challenges. Addresses that match how people actually describe locations, cash-on-delivery alongside digital payment, and behaviour that degrades gracefully when the network does.

One platform, three apps

A marketplace needs both sides served

A rider app on its own is a demo. Gontobbo ships the merchant and driver software that makes supply real.

Rider app

Booking, trip history, live tracking, referrals, saved addresses and ratings.

Merchant app

Fleet owners manage vehicles and drivers, bid on trip requests and reconcile earnings.

Driver app

Accepts assignments, navigates the route, confirms OTP handover and closes out the fare.

Under the hood

How it is built

A Flutter client against a Python service layer, with mapping and messaging handled by managed services so the team could spend its time on the marketplace logic instead of infrastructure.

  • A single Flutter codebase across the rider, merchant and driver apps.
  • A Django REST API behind Gunicorn and Nginx, with PostgreSQL as the system of record.
  • Google Maps for geocoding, routing and the live trip view.
  • Firebase for push notifications and device messaging across all three apps.
  • Staged Play Store rollouts, with crash and error monitoring on every release.
