Descout
Background Checking Solution For Ride-Hailing Businesses
Industry:
Project Status:
I will not be wrong to say that ride-hailing has become a need in our day to day lives or atleast till teleportation becomes real. Even at that, expect some ride-hailing 😂
Product Description
There has been a rise in the complaint of drivers in the ride-hailing business. One driver having undergone some level of ban from a ride-hailing service registers on another one and passes the verification process. The challenge with this process is that drivers tend to replicate bad behaviors.
This is where descout comes in play. Descout is a product with a focus on providing basic background checks for drivers while showcasing reviews and past records from other ride-hailing service.
What makes descout a viable solution
Primarily, descout is there to ensure quality driver verification. With this understanding and goal, the following factors are considered and defined:
Market Size: The ride-hailing industry is growing rapidly, and with it, the demand for safer and more reliable services.
Competition: The existing competition in the market for driver background checks and review platforms are possibly non-existent except for the traditional background checks. By leveraging on this, the unique selling proposition was defined and setup.
Unique Selling Proposition: Providing Updated Employee Records For Ride-Hailing Businesses For Their Drivers(Riders).
Case Scenario
With descout, you can be sure that your drivers have proper background checks. To better explain the solution, here are scenarios and contexts that the solutions made possible.
#1: Searching For A Rider
Say for example, a certain ride-hailing company (e.g uber and bolt) has a list of riders to check on descout. All that is needed is the full name and National Identification Number (NIN).

#2: Viewing and Screening A Riders Track Record
After which, they get to search and view details of that driver/individual. This view provides well-detailed information’s of the driver being searched for.

#3: Seconding As A Third-Party Operator For Businesses
In creating a useful product, the user type is a very important finding to make and define. Descout is expected to not be an end-user focused solution (for now) but business focused. By this, we mean our primary users are businesses.
One of the many offerings descout has in place for businesses is the 3rd party connections such that descout could be linked to the in-house products of ride-hailing businesses.

Putting Responsiveness Into Consideration
In order to come about increased user experience, mobile responsiveness had to be prioritized. The aim is to allow users access descout easily from any device regardless of size.
Currently, the focus is on solving the problem of how the driver’s data will be gotten. Feedbacks and possible investment conversations are very welcome. To have a feel of The Descout Product, see instructions below:
