Intro of case
Even though the name, size and number of taxis changed, the one thing that didn’t change was that the taxi drivers were working as they wanted. When an app called Uber came into life, all Turkish taxi drivers became agitated and started to put pressure on public institutions. Izmir Chamber of Taxi Drivers met with Izmir Municipality and asked for a “different” application.
When the perspective is different, the brief is different. “A taxi app specific to Izmir, but with the infrastructure and support of “smart city” applications. It should exceed the expectations of customers and taxi drivers”
The company that undertook the technology, i.e. hardware, of the application chose us as a result of a tender.

Main result
Exploration and Research
First, we listened to business goals and user needs. Our team conducted detailed research to collect data on user behaviours and preferences. Based on this research, we developed a UX / UI strategy that focuses on user-centred design principles. This includes creating user personas, journey maps. Design and Prototyping: Once the strategy was set, we moved on to the design phase. Here, we developed wireframes and prototypes, tested them with users to ensure functionality and flow, and shared the app on platforms. The one we created for taxis went live on special tablets.
Testing and Iteration: After the initial design, we did not have the means or budget to test prototypes with real users. We developed and updated the application by testing it on the air. And we realised the project delivery.
