The Role of Location Based Technology in Uber Success

Traveling through busy cities with the traffic is irritating with the hired vehicle and also you may think that the hired vehicle is not comfortable when compared to your own vehicle. Also, whenever required to travel from required place at the exact time or for immediate need, the cabs are not available for certain time.

Many major cities have car cab facility, but the customer is not getting frequent service in their location. Whenever the customer needs cab, they don’t have the choice to wait until the cab arrives. This is even difficult for the particular customers like who are working and they need to reach on time and they cannot be delayed for the particular place or location. Uber, a multinational travel company, found a much needed solution for this dilemma and succeeded to a great extent.

Uber‘s Initial Days

The company like Uber tried to come over this complex problem. Uber was founded by Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp. How Uber started this venture? Once Travis Kalanick was in Paris, he wanted to reach conference, but by that time, he didn’t get any car cab on time to reach the conference. That situation made him to think about this much needed cab service. Not only he, so many customers were facing the same problem and for this reason when Uber was started by Travis Kalanick, and Garrett Camp.



Now Uber is serving across the world, including India,USA, Australia, France and Netherland. There are many car cabs companies competing with Uber in the traveling services. Why Uber is unique because the register car cabs drivers are the not the employee of the Uber, they are the owner of their own vehicle. Uber is just acting as a guide or middle man between the customer and the drivers, by this Uber is getting high profit. Uber is not like other companies which have owned the car as well as drivers as employees.

Uber App

The customers or the travelers can book the cab through mobile application which is available in Google play, Apps Store and many other app stores. By choosing the best mobile apps developers among the top app development companies Bangalore, India and across the world, Uber selected top company and developed app with next generation features and introduced a mobile application for their business. The app features include, once the app is downloaded in smartphone by the users, then they can book cab, when the Uber alerts to the user, where the driver is passing near to him, by this the customers can know the accurate pickup time easily
.



Uber is also providing services on different rates for different vehicles like other car cabs services. In the app, Uber allows users to compare the prices with others cabs. Once the user is confirmed booking with Uber cabs, then Uber sends the exact time of cabs arrival to customer’s location.

Uber is having two kinds of payment method: Time and Distance. The cabs runs more than 18km/hour, then it is calculated as distance and another one is time based where the rate is calculated on below 18Km/hour. Why this method is followed? The customers need to get the best fare for their ride.

There are two types of apps upgraded that is UberPop and UberPool. UberPop App allows non-professional taxi driver to serve the customers through Uber app. The UberPool app helps the customer who is travelling to the same location or same direction, when customer can share the fare. This application is helpful for customers as well as drivers. But the payment gate is strictly managed by Uber and the customers need to pay according to that to the driver.

Uber has also recently launched UberBOAT services in the Istanbul, and UberChooper is flight service with the partnership of Blade by uber from new york city to the Hamptons. Uber is now atop of the Traveling services sector.
