GoDrive Technologies is a mobility startup with a mission to make city transportation more affordable and flexible. They envisioned a driver–passenger negotiation platform — similar to InDriver — where riders could propose their own fares, and nearby drivers could accept or counter-offer instantly.
💡 Challenge
Before partnering with Stevo Digital, the founders of GoDrive had only an idea and a business model, but no technical structure or product roadmap.
They needed:
-
A fully functional mobile app (Android + iOS) for drivers and riders
-
Real-time geolocation and ride negotiation features
-
A secure backend to manage rides, payments, and user verification
-
Scalability to support future expansion across multiple cities
They also wanted a custom algorithm that could calculate suggested fares based on distance, time, and demand — but still allow price negotiation between users.
