Mobile Apps/Ride-Hailing Platform
Wakajugbe
A ride-hailing startup needed a rider app, a driver app, and an admin backend, all built to handle real-time operations from day one. We delivered the full platform: three products on a shared Firebase backend with Google Maps tracking and Paystack-powered payments. Currently in closed testing on Google Play and TestFlight on iOS, awaiting client approval before public launch. Any older Wakajugbe app on the public stores predates this project and was not built by us.

01 The brief
What they needed.
Wakajugbe wanted to launch a ride-hailing service built specifically for the Nigerian market. That meant building three products at once: a rider app, a driver app, and an operations dashboard, all working together in real time. Riders needed to see drivers on a map, get accurate fare estimates, and pay in-app. Drivers needed onboarding, earnings tracking, and navigation. And the operations team needed visibility into everything. The timeline was tight and there was no room for a soft launch that did not work.
02 Our approach
How we built it.
We built the entire ecosystem using Flutter for both mobile apps and Firebase for the backend, covering authentication, the realtime database, and push notifications.
The rider app shows live driver locations on Google Maps, calculates fares based on distance, and processes payments through Paystack. The driver app handles onboarding with document verification, turn-by-turn navigation, and earnings breakdowns under a flat-fee subscription model where drivers keep 100 percent of their ride earnings.
The admin dashboard gives the operations team a live view of active rides, driver status, and revenue. All three products share the same Firebase backend and stay in sync in real time.
