EKOW Rideshare App
EKOW is a robust transportation system that connects riders with drivers, offering both on-demand and scheduled ride services. The platform features real-time GPS tracking, turn-by-turn navigation for drivers, and transparent upfront pricing so riders always know what they'll pay.
It operates across defined service areas with geofencing technology, supports multiple payment methods through Stripe integration, and provides drivers with a full payout system including instant payouts via Stripe Connect. The platform enforces safety through driver verification workflows, SSN-based account verification to prevent unauthorized use, and proximity-gated arrival confirmation.
Beyond the core ride experience, EKOW includes a comprehensive admin portal for platform management — covering ride monitoring, settlement queues for failed payments, driver approval workflows, financial reporting, referral tracking, and configurable system settings. The system supports both a responsive web application and native mobile apps for iOS and Android, with real-time communication via Socket.io, push notifications through Firebase, SMS messaging via Twilio with TCPA-compliant double opt-in, and email notifications through Microsoft Graph. A referral system drives organic growth, while a credit center allows rider account management, making EKOW a full-stack transportation platform built for operational scale.
