BeRider’s Data-Driven Success Story
BeRider, one of the first projects built on the HoppyGo Mobility Platform, has experienced impressive growth in the competitive electric scooter-sharing market in Prague. By utilizing the full potential of our platform, BeRider has not only enhanced user experience but also optimized operations and significantly boosted revenue. In this post, we’ll dive into the tech-driven strategies that powered BeRider’s success.
The Core: A Data-Driven Strategy
BeRider’s approach was built on a solid foundation of data analysis, focusing on reducing costs and maximizing revenue without compromising service quality. Every feature was strategically evaluated for its impact on business outcomes, balancing benefits, complexity, and development costs.
Dynamic Pricing: Real-Time Adjustments for Maximized Revenue
One of the standout features that powered BeRider’s growth was dynamic pricing. The HoppyGo Mobility Platform enables real-time pricing adjustments based on demand—allowing BeRider to stay ahead of competitors with fixed pricing. This dynamic pricing system, managed automatically by our platform, made the pricing incredibly flexible, without the need to require IT or legal changes. By lowering prices during low-demand periods and increasing them during peak times, BeRider boosted utilization and revenue, projecting a 12% increase in yearly earnings.
Reservation Fees: Optimizing Scooter Utilization
To combat idle scooters and increase revenue, BeRider implemented a reservation fee system via the HoppyGo Mobility Platform. Users could reserve a scooter for free for the first 10 minutes, after which they would incur a small fee per minute. This feature solved the issue of scooters being blocked without generating revenue while also allowing flexibility to adjust fees based on demand. This improved overall scooter utilization and created an additional revenue stream by enabling users who truly needed a scooter and were willing to pay for it to book one.
Seamless User Experience: Powerful App Functionalities
The BeRider mobile app, powered by the HoppyGo Mobility Platform, is at the heart of their user experience. With our platform, BeRider was able to offer users:
- Easy account registration and verification
- Prepaid credit packages for hassle-free payments
- Real-time scooter location tracking, pricing, range, and damage reporting
- Reservation, rental management, and ride history tracking
- Access to bonus zones, bonus vehicles, and Dual Profile features
- Comprehensive customer support, FAQs, and tutorials
- Flexible account settings for personalized use
As a white-label solution, our mobile app is available for your vehicle-sharing business too.
Bonus Zones, Penalty Zones & Bonus Vehicles
The HoppyGo Mobility Platform allows service providers like BeRider to create customizable bonus zones or penalty zones on the map, where scooter pricing varies to incentivize specific parking behaviors. By offering cheaper or more expensive parking rates, these zones encourage users to park scooters in desired locations. Additionally, the bonus vehicle system incentivizes users to move underutilized scooters to high-demand areas, further optimizing scooter distribution and operational efficiency. Penalty zones allowed for the expansion of the service area while covering the increased costs of maintaining a larger zone.
Scalability: Seamless Expansion to New Markets
Our platform is designed with scalability in mind, making it simple for BeRider to expand into new cities and countries. The front-end application integrates seamlessly with Lokalise, allowing easy translation into new languages. While BeRider initially supported Czech, English, and Slovak, adding additional languages is simple, reducing expansion costs and enabling BeRider to scale quickly while distributing overhead across multiple markets.
Conclusion: Software as a Growth Engine
BeRider’s success is a testament to the power of the software that underpins its operations. From dynamic pricing to user-friendly app features, their tech-driven approach enabled significant growth and operational efficiency. By continuously evaluating features based on their impact, BeRider has thrived in the competitive scooter-sharing market. The collaboration with the HoppyGo Mobility Platform has provided them with the flexibility and scalability to maintain a competitive edge and secure long-term success.
