The Challenge
WiseTransfer's founders identified a gap in the travel transfer market: passengers had no way to pre-book private transfers at competitive, market-determined prices before arriving at a destination. Existing solutions were either fixed-price (no competition) or required passengers to be physically present to negotiate. The platform needed a bidding system, an escrow payment layer supporting both fiat and cryptocurrency, real-time notifications, a driver verification workflow, and dedicated mobile-optimised interfaces for both passengers and drivers.
Our Solution
eWorld Technologies built the platform, now live as WiseHop, with separate React Native apps for passengers and drivers, a Node.js backend with real-time updates over WebSockets, and a Next.js admin panel. Passengers post a transfer request with their pickup details, verified drivers submit bids, and the passenger picks one. Payments run through an in-app wallet, with refunds returned to the wallet. Passengers and drivers can message and call each other in the app. The admin panel covers bookings, driver verification, payouts and disputes, and every change in it is pushed to the apps in real time.
