About the Customer

Careem is a cab-for hire organisation which is based in Dubai. It runs its operations in more than 100 cities, covering 15 countries including South Asia, Africa & Middle East.

Careem details

Project Details

The client aimed to boost their cab booking business by streamlining the booking process and increasing customer engagement. Their core objective was to increase ride bookings across various destinations, with a strong focus on Dubai's booming tourism industry by placing tablets at the front desks of various hotels, allowing guests and hotel staff to book their cabs directly.


Problem Statement

Limited to B2C Revenue Model

Client earlier had “Business to Consumer” B2C revenue stream & Dubai, being an overseas tourist destination, client wanted to grab an opportunity where businesses & their staff can motivate their guests to use careem for cab booking.

Lack of Tourism-Driven Word of Mouth

Clients wanted to get “word of mouth” globally with the help of tourism but that couldn’t be accomplished since hotel staff were only focused on getting the cabs booked by their competitors.

Inconvenient Booking Experience for Tourists

Guests had inconvenience while booking a cab and scheduling it, since they do not have internet access in a new country & thus, they rely on frontdesk to plan their local trip & book the cab.


Our Development Approach

  • Lobby Tablet Booking System: Install a tablet on the hotel lobby through which the hotel staff or guests can directly book a ride for any destination. Passengers can connect through consumer mobile apps whereas drivers can connect through driver apps.
  • Property-Based Reward Points: When a cab is booked from a particular destination certain points are earned by that specific property which can be reimbursed twice a month to the referrals.
  • Cashback Incentives for Hotels: Hotel property earns certain cashback points on every cab booking, hence they are motivated to give more business to the client.
  • Affiliate Revenue Channel: A new revenue channel was introduced which can be used by affiliates as a referral bonus to hotels and their staff.
