Company profile:
Taxibeat is changing the global taxi industry. It's an easy to use, convenient and contemporary way to hail and book a taxi using a smartphone. It uses the mobile technology to connect directly taxi drivers and passengers in the same way that Google AdWords connects advertisers and Internet users: taxi drivers advertise their location and availability to nearby passengers who are searching for a taxi using their Taxibeat mobile app. It consists of two mobile applications, one for taxi drivers and one for passengers. While drivers use the application to declare their position and availability, passengers use the Taxibeat app to virtually "see" all nearby available taxi drivers, in a range of about 2 kms. They see every possible information about each driver (distance, car model, customers' rating, services provided, etc) and select which driver to hail with a touch on the screen. Taxibeat launched with great success at May 2011 in Athens Greece, and now expands in a number of countries like Brazil, France, Romania and Norway. Want to join the global transportation revolution?
