We are founding a company to provide a car pooling service in our area, to allow people driving alone to share their travel cost with other users going to the same destination. We need a complete car pooling system allowing user-drivers to post Trips and share them with other user-hitchhikers. When a user-hitchhicker looks for a Trip from A to B, the system will provide results based on Trips posted by user-driver together with public transportation (bus) alternatives and TripAdvices. The concept of TripAdvices is to show Ads posted by our user-commercial-partner, showing offers related with user preferences and Trip details. For example: UserA wants to go from A to B and query the system. The system will propose the Trips posted by UserB and UserC plus 2 Buses that can take him to B. If any Ads in the system match the search query (because of user preferences or because the local business is on the way to B or other parameter), should be displayed together with the search results. The system should be realized as a backend side API, served as webservices, on which the data will be stored and the operation performed, and a frontend side, calling the remote APIs from a client application. The client should be realized as Android app, iOS app and Website. The backend engine should be preferably implemented in JavaScript (NodeJS). The system should be able to handle payment from user-drivers to the business owners, everytime a user-hitchhiker confirm to join a user-driver trip, the user-driver pay a fee to the business owners. The system should also provide an administration panel to manage user-commercial-partner profiles and normal users profiles, track Ads performance and statistics, user history, payment history and other information. The system should support Spotify playlist, to allow user-drivers and user-hitchhiker to search a playlist and to eventually associate it to a Trip, by proposing and voting song. Design and Technical documentation is considered part of the system, that should be easily exportable and easy to customize for other companies to allow them to provide their own car pooling service for their own community (for example for schools or big companies that want to offer car pooling to their employees). We need a quotation as soon as possible, and a prototype with basic functionality will be requested at an early stage of the project. The prototype should use fake data but being able to perform a query from a client (AndroidApp or Website) to the backend. The fake data should include also one or more Ads matching the query based on position. The complete realization of the system is expected 180 days after the acceptance. We would like to handle the project with an Agile SCRUM approach, submitting user stories and joining weekly sprint planning meeting and sprint review. The source code should be well documented and tested, unit test and automated test cases execution are part of the system to be realized. Code coverage information should be easily available and automatic reports should be weekly generated including information about failed test, code coverage, Runnable and Testable Features completed per sprint, team velocity and other metrics and key performance indicators to be defined together. Please refer to the attached document for some use cases and a draft feature list, we are open for discussion and clarification and we hope to find a team of professional and passionate software engineers and to engage in discussion about the best way to realize it and to meet business requirement.

Hi, It is really a great concept to work with. Most of the robot bidders here will make their bids without knowing what you are looking for and also people who has done some car pooling website they will bid with comments that they have done a similar thing before which is not at all similar to your expectation. We have completely understood your requirement and went through the attached document for wish list of functionality. Let me ask you few questions which need to be clarified beforehand. Questions *************** 1. Who will make the sprint break ups? You or us? 2. Why did you say about the back end implantation specifically on Node.JS? 3. Do you want to sell the webservice or API to individual customers who need same data? 4. Can you please elaborate the payment method to the business owner? Suggestions ************** 1. If you can response then we will be able to attach our proposal document we are going to create for you. 2. You have preferred AGILE methodology (with SCRUM approach). I suggest you to discuss after finalization of the SOW such that we can give both of our input to choose the best approach Why We ************** I represent here a company which is a partner of Microsoft Corporations. We have good numbers of skilled in-house professionals who are ready to start for you. We have good rank in freelancer.com. We are special because we are not robot and we don’t compromise with quality. Regards Mit

The concept of app is very interesting "Car Pooling" but here are few more recommendation from my side. Until this few variables seem to be missing: 1) Each traveler should be able to mark start and end of journey. After user marked Start of journey, app will update user location to server at a regular interval of time say 15 mins,so that business owner keep updated with their last known location. If last known location will be same for at least 1 hour and it is not listed as any place in google places, business owner should get a alert. 2) In case end of journey is not marked by any of the traveler after estimated journey time + possible delay time, business owner can call himself to check whereabouts or call 911 if no one is reachable to ensure their safety. 3) Luggage: In case user-hitch-hiker has more than 2 z*y (some units for bag) luggage, he will have to report so that user-driver can check the space availability. 4) Daily Car-pooling for office-home journey and weekly car pooling from work town to home town should be an option as free or one time fee basis. I think it can be USP of the application as every one will find it useful whether he is a frequent traveler or not. 5) If in any area, user-hitch-hiker can find list of say more than 20 user-driver , he/she should be provided search option based of user profile data like Gender, Age, Marital Status. 6) Option within the app for user to share his experience of journey on facebook.

Hello, Hope you are fine, I have few questions if you could help me with answers :- 1) I see a small flaw in you business Model, where there is a provision of waiting time for the users who got confirmation for pooling the car 2) Users Drivers profile will be verified to prevent crime ? 3)Business should also know the demographic profile of users siting in cars else they will not pay you money. I give attention to detailing when it comes to complex APPS , I will share my best examples once you are happy to talk to me. Warm Regards, Derick
