ABOUT EXECUTIVE ONE SHUTTLE SERVICE Back in 1984 when hiring a cab was considered to be an elite thing, Executive One Sedan started in Georgia with one car and one goal; to provide its clients the finest and economical ground transportation services. Realising the surging need of an elite transport service in the Atlanta Metro Area they relocated themselves here.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES With all the major taxi companies across the globe going the mobile way to expand their businesses, the Executive One Sedan Team knew that they need to take the business to the next level to stay in the race. To keep at par with the ongoing trends in the cab industry, they needed to focus upon 2 major aspects- enhancing customer experience and improving business efficiency. One of the major challenges which the elite taxi company faced in the long run was to provide the customers an experience like never before, by providing an instant taxi service without any hassle and improving the service response time. They; in order to, enhance the efficiency of the business; wanted to improve the overall operational system to serve more rides, improving the quality of the drivers and reducing their free time. A central management system which could help them have a bird’s eye of the business revenue and to keep a check on the driver’s was among their wish list. The major priority of the team was to have a competent and responsive communication system between drivers and passengers in the app which would, thereby, reduce the customer response time. The behaviour of drivers as well as that of passengers is a crucial link in managing cabs on the road efficiently. Therefore, they were in a dire need to have an easy-to-use review system to keep a track of both the driver and the customer too.
It was a herculean task for them to shift from traditional taxi operation system to a tech friendly solution. They endlessly started searching for an outsourcing taxi hailing app solution to help them get out this dilemma and here’s where Taxi Hawk entered.
