It is enlarging its services across its platform to include mass transportation, delivery and payments to become the region's everyday SuperApp.
The client aimed to boost their cab booking business by streamlining the booking process and increasing customer engagement. Their core objective was to increase ride bookings across various destinations, with a strong focus on Dubai's booming tourism industry by placing tablets at the front desks of various hotels, allowing guests and hotel staff to book their cabs directly.
Limited to B2C Revenue Model
Client earlier had “Business to Consumer” B2C revenue stream & Dubai, being an overseas tourist destination, client wanted to grab an opportunity where businesses & their staff can motivate their guests to use careem for cab booking.
Lack of Tourism-Driven Word of Mouth
Clients wanted to get “word of mouth” globally with the help of tourism but that couldn’t be accomplished since hotel staff were only focused on getting the cabs booked by their competitors.
Inconvenient Booking Experience for Tourists
Guests had inconvenience while booking a cab and scheduling it, since they do not have internet access in a new country & thus, they rely on frontdesk to plan their local trip & book the cab.
