RideFlow – Turnkey Taxi App Solution

RideFlow enables businesses to launch a fully functional taxi or ride-hailing platform with mobile apps and admin dashboards.

Key features

What RideFlow does, and why each part matters once you are running.

Driver & passenger apps

Native apps for both sides. Nobody hails a ride from a website, and drivers need something that behaves on a moving phone with patchy signal.

Live GPS tracking

The passenger watches the car approach and the trip progress. This is the feature that makes a stranger's car feel safe enough to get into.

Fare calculation & payments

Fares worked out by distance and time rather than negotiated at the kerb, paid in-app or in cash depending on what your market actually uses.

Trip history & analytics

Every trip logged for both sides. It settles disputes, and it tells you which areas and hours are worth putting drivers into.

Admin management panel

Onboard and suspend drivers, watch trips live, set fares and pull the numbers. E-hailing is an operations business more than a software one.

SEO-friendly landing pages

Pages for the areas you serve, so people searching for a ride or a driver job in your town find you without paying for the click.

How it works

A marketplace has more than one customer. Each side needs its own tools.

Drivers

Accept trips, navigate, complete rides and track earnings. Recruiting and keeping drivers is the hard part of this business, well ahead of the technology.

Passengers

Request a ride, see the car coming, take the trip and pay. Safety and waiting time decide whether they open your app again.

You

Vet drivers, set fares and coverage, take your commission and manage the complaints. Licensing and local regulation are your problem, not the platform's.

Who it's for

Towns without e-hailing
Places where Uber and Bolt have never operated and taxis are still phoned for.
Airport and long-distance routes
Fixed, predictable runs with better margins than short urban trips.
Corporate and staff transport
Contracted shift transport where the passenger list is known in advance.
Existing taxi operators
Fleets with cars and drivers already, needing the app rather than the business.

And who it isn't

This is the most operationally demanding product we sell, and the most competitive. Licensing, driver supply and local regulation will take more of your year than the software will.

Built for South Africa

What RideFlow handles that an offshore script has to be talked into.

Local payment gateways
PayFast, Peach Payments and Ozow — cards, instant EFT and the methods South African buyers already trust at checkout.
Priced and invoiced in rands
One-off price, paid in ZAR, invoiced locally. No currency conversion and no exchange-rate movement between quote and payment.
Your data stays on your infrastructure
Self-hosted, so you can answer where customer data lives, who reaches it and how long you keep it — the questions POPIA actually asks.
Support in your working hours
Based in Pretoria. When something breaks at 09:00 SAST, you are not waiting for an overseas support desk to wake up.
Courier options that exist here
Built with The Courier Guy, RAM and Pargo pickup points in mind rather than carriers that do not operate in South Africa.

What's not included

Worth knowing before you buy, not after.

  • Hosting and your domain. Installation on your server is free; the hosting account is yours.
  • Your payment gateway account, and the per-transaction fee it charges you.
  • Product photography, vendor onboarding and the words on your pages.
  • Marketing and customer acquisition — included only on the Custom plan.
  • Source code on Lite, Pro and Pro + Apps. Custom includes it; mobile app source is R39,000 as an add-on.
  • Support beyond your included period, which continues at R6,900 a year.
  • Apple and Google developer accounts for the mobile apps — roughly R1,800 a year and a once-off R450, paid to them directly.

None of this is unusual for self-hosted software. We list it because the alternative is finding out on a call.
