#system #designpatterns #designsystem #mobile

Introduction

Zeep Service is a mobile application designed to facilitate commuting for students between their homes and campus. It provides a unified platform for both drivers and passengers, enabling efficient travel management. Drivers can view and manage their passenger lists for each trip, while students can book rides either through subscriptions or on a per-day basis, with the flexibility to cancel if needed.

The app also features real-time notifications for both drivers and passengers, allowing drivers to see the total number of riders for upcoming trips, and passengers to accept or decline rides. Additionally, it includes a WhatsApp bot for easy communication with customer support and a dashboard for monitoring app usage.

For reliability, Zeep Service integrates Crashlytics, which monitors and reports application errors, including detailed crash data. Automation processes within the app are powered by Quickwork, a Mumbai-based automation company.
