CHALLENGES

Imagine changing the way people get rides in West Africa with an app that’s easy to use and dependable. That’s what we did with Kai Taxi and Kai Driver. We built an app to connect passengers with taxi drivers smoothly, designed just for the needs of Senegal. Our goal was to include local payment methods, make sure the app runs well on older phones, and use as little battery as possible. The challenge was to ensure the app worked perfectly on both iOS and Android while meeting these needs. The result? A straightforward, high-performing app that fits the African transport scene perfectly, showing our dedication to making reliable and innovative solutions.
