The Challenge

A Nigerian mobility startup needed a full Uber-like platform, rider app, driver app, and ops dashboard, built for low-end Android devices on 3G networks, with USSD payment fallback.

The Solution

Two Flutter apps (rider + driver) with real-time GPS matching, surge pricing engine, USSD/mobile money payment integration, and an ops dashboard for city managers to monitor fleet health.

How We Built It

Market Research

Device fragmentation audit, network condition profiling, payment method mapping per city.

Matching Engine

Geospatial driver matching with PostgreSQL PostGIS, surge zone algorithm.

Rider App

Flutter app optimised for low-RAM Android, offline map tiles, SMS OTP auth.

Driver App

Earnings tracker, trip navigation, USSD payment confirmation flow.

Ops Dashboard

City manager view: live fleet map, driver compliance, revenue analytics.

"Building for Africa means building for constraints most devs ignore, 2G fallback, feature phones, unreliable payments. Ubikon got it on first build."
