The world of taxi apps is booming, but the idea of building your own from scratch can be daunting.
What if there was a faster, more cost-effective way to launch your ride-hailing service?
Enter white label taxi apps.
These pre-built solutions provide a shortcut to your business while skipping the lengthy and costly software development process.
In this guide, we'll explore the many advantages of white label taxi apps, from quicker launch times to features that help you attract and retain riders. We'll also guide you through the process of building your vision, from defining your target audience to crafting a unique selling proposition.
Why build a taxi app using white label software?
The answer is simple – white label taxi app solutions help to bridge your business idea with reality. There’s no need to build a taxi app from ground zero, since the solutions are already there – tried, tested and waiting for your branding.
If you’re still not sure about the benefits of using a white label taxi platform over building your own, consider these advantages:
- Faster development and launch time
White label apps are pre-built, allowing you to launch your service much quicker and skip the lengthy and expensive process of custom development. In addition, such mobility software is continuously updated and developed, complying with the latest regulations and meeting user demands in specific markets.
- Cost-effective solution
Building a custom app requires significant investment. White label solutions like ATOM Mobility offer a cost-effective alternative, allowing you to test and refine your concept without breaking the bank.
Once your app is up and running, white label taxi app platforms help you reduce operational costs by automating tasks and increasing operational efficiency for your taxi business.
- Customizable features to match your vision
Don't be fooled by the "white label" – your branding can make your taxi app unique. A white label platform gives you the freedom to completely customize the app's look and feel without worrying about the technical intricacies of the app’s operation.
How exactly do you personalize your app’s brand identity? It’s simple and fun – start by adding your logo, choosing your color scheme, and creating in-app copy to match your brand’s voice. Think about creating a seamless user experience that reflects your unique concept and resonates with your target audience.
- Scalability to accommodate future growth
White label solutions are designed to be scalable, allowing you to easily add features and accommodate a growing user base. If you choose to build your taxi app with ATOM, you get a user-friendly booking and dispatch software and a powerful admin panel to manage drivers, customers and follow the stats. With time, you can quickly expand to other business verticals and create your unique superapp, keeping it all customized for your brand.
- Improved customer satisfaction & loyalty
Gone are the days of hailing cabs or waiting on hold. Your white label taxi app should have the option to get a ride in seconds, with features that are meticulously designed to be as intuitive as possible. With just a few taps, customers should be able to create accounts, book rides, and track their driver's arrival in real time.
When building custom taxi fleet software, this level of convenience and sense of control can take years. White label taxi apps have refined their features to enhance customer satisfaction and build loyalty. Thus you won’t have to lose customers due to technical glitches or slow features.
How to make your white label taxi app stand out?
Before you take the first steps in building your white label taxi app, take a moment to solidify your vision. What will be special about your app and who will be its target users? This roadmap will guide your decisions and ensure your app caters to a specific need within the market.
Lay out a plan including important aspects of your vision, such as:
Define your target audience
It sure is tempting to offer your services to all the taxi riders on the market, but in reality, differentiation works much better. We recommend defining a user segment that would be the primary target audience for your taxi app. Will you focus on budget-minded students, busy business travelers, or families with young children? Choose a niche that's large enough to be sustainable, but targeted enough to stand out.
Choose your unique selling proposition (USP)
Your USP is what will differentiate your app. For example, are you known for eco-friendly vehicles, flat fares, or focusing on specific areas? Maybe you’re a kid and pet-friendly company that offers extras like different-size booster seats and cartoons on board.
Determine key app functionalities and special features
It’s also important to consider what app features are imperative for your business. Which functionalities should definitely be there besides having a rider app, driver app, and admin panel? For example, do you want to offer in-app chat, rider verification options, multiple payment options, etc., or any other special features?
Beyond launch: how to market your app and get loyal customers
Let’s imagine you’ve already launched your white label taxi app by selecting the right platform (like ATOM Mobility), choosing your branding and integrating the desired functionalities. What next?
To ensure long-term success, ongoing marketing and customer acquisition strategies are crucial for the success of your ride-hailing business.
Here's how to hit the ground running:
Know your riders
Leverage built-in analytics within your taxi fleet software to understand rider behavior and preferences. This allows you to create detailed user personas – representations of your ideal customers. By understanding their needs and habits, you can tailor your marketing efforts for maximum impact.
Targeted acquisition
Armed with your user personas, launch targeted advertising campaigns across relevant channels. Social media platforms, local publications, and strategic partnerships with businesses frequented by your target audience can be effective avenues for reaching potential riders.
Loyalty programs to stay top-of-mind
Entice new customers with attractive introductory offers and discounts. Once you've hooked them, implement loyalty programs that reward repeat rides. This could include points systems for free rides, different memberships with exclusive benefits, or referral programs that incentivize existing riders to spread the word.
Harnessing the power of "deals"
Don't underestimate the power of discount codes and promotions. Strategic use of these tools can attract deal-conscious customers and encourage them to try your service.
Top taxi fleet software, like ATOM Mobility, offers various marketing tools, from loyalty and referral programs to integrated email marketing and push notifications that help stay top of mind and re-activate users.

Unmet demand heatmap: Turn missed searches into measurable revenue growth
📉 Every unmet search is lost revenue. The unmet demand heatmap shows where users actively searched for vehicles but none were available - giving operators clear, search-based demand signals to rebalance fleets 🚚, improve conversions 📈, and grow smarter 🧠.

Fleet operators don’t lose revenue because of lack of demand - they lose it because demand appears in the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s exactly the problem the Unmet demand heatmap solves.
This new analytics layer from ATOM Mobility shows where users actively searched for vehicles but couldn’t find any within reach. Not guesses. Not assumptions. Real, proven demand currently left on the table.
What is the unmet demand heatmap?
The unmet demand heatmap highlights locations where:
- A user opened the app
- Actively searched for available vehicles
- No vehicle was found within the defined search radius
In other words: high-intent users who wanted to ride, but couldn’t. Unlike generic “app open” data, unmet demand is recorded only when a real vehicle search happens, making this one of the most actionable datasets for operators.
Why unmet demand is more valuable than app opens
Many analytics tools track where users open the app (ATOM Mobility provides this data too). That’s useful - but incomplete. Unmet demand answers a much stronger question:
Where did users try to ride and failed? That difference matters.
Unmet demand data is:
✅ Intent-driven (search-based, not passive)
✅ Directly tied to lost revenue
✅ Immediately actionable for rebalancing and expansion
✅ Credible for discussions with cities and partners
How it works
Here’s how the logic is implemented under the hood:
1. Search-based trigger. Unmet demand is recorded only when a user performs a vehicle search. No search = no data point.
2. Distance threshold. If no vehicle is available within 1,000 meters, unmet demand is logged.
- The radius can be customized per operator
- Adaptable for dense cities vs. suburban or rural areas
3. Shared + private fleet support. The feature tracks unmet demand for:
- Shared fleets
- Private / restricted fleets (e.g. corporate, residential, campus)
This gives operators a full picture across all use cases.
4. GPS validation. Data is collected only when:
- GPS is enabled
- Location data is successfully received
This ensures accuracy and avoids noise.
Smart data optimization (no inflated demand)
To prevent multiple searches from the same user artificially inflating demand, the system applies intelligent filtering:
- After a location is stored, a 30-minute cooldown is activated
- If the same user searches again within 30 minutes And within 100 meters of the previous location → the record is skipped
- After 30 minutes, a new record is stored - even if the location is unchanged
Result: clean, realistic demand signals, not spammy heatmaps.
Why this matters for operators
📈 Increase revenue
Unmet demand shows exactly where vehicles are missing allowing you to:
- Rebalance fleets faster
- Expand into proven demand zones
- Reduce failed searches and lost rides
🚚 Smarter rebalancing
Instead of guessing where to move vehicles, teams can prioritize:
- High-intent demand hotspots
- Time-based demand patterns
- Areas with repeated unmet searches
🏙 Stronger city conversations
Unmet demand heatmaps are powerful evidence for:
- Permit negotiations
- Zone expansions
- Infrastructure requests
- Data-backed urban planning discussions
📊 Higher conversion rates
Placing vehicles where users actually search improves:
- Search → ride conversion
- User satisfaction
- Retention over time
Built for real operational use
The new unmet demand heatmap is designed to work alongside other analytics layers, including:
- Popular routes heatmap
- Open app heatmap
- Start & end locations heatmap
Operators can also:
- Toggle zone visibility across heatmaps
- Adjust time periods (performance-optimized)
- Combine insights for strategic fleet planning
From missed demand to competitive advantage
Every unmet search is a signal. Every signal is a potential ride. Every ride is revenue. With the unmet demand heatmap, operators stop guessing and start placing vehicles exactly where demand already exists.

🚀 New feature alert: Web-booker for ride-hailing and taxi operations
🚕 Web-booker is a lightweight ride-hail widget that lets users book rides directly from a website or mobile browser - no app install required. It reduces booking friction, supports hotel and partner demand, and keeps every ride fully synced with the taxi operator’s app and dashboard.

What if ordering a taxi was as easy as booking a room or clicking “Reserve table” on a website?
Meet Web-booker - a lightweight ride-hail booking widget that lets users request a cab directly from a website, without installing or opening the mobile app.
Perfect for hotels, business centers, event venues, airports, and corporate partners.
👉 Live demo: https://app.atommobility.com/taxi-widget
What is Web-booker?
Web-booker is a browser-based ride-hail widget that operators can embed or link to from any website.
The booking happens on the web, but the ride is fully synchronized with the mobile app and operator dashboard.
How it works (simple by design)
No redirects. No app-store friction. No lost users.
- Client places a button or link on their website
- Clicking it opens a new window with the ride-hail widget
- The widget is branded, localized, and connected directly to the operator’s system
- Booking instantly appears in the dashboard and mobile app
Key capabilities operators care about
🎨 Branded & consistent
- Widget color automatically matches the client’s app branding
- Feels like a natural extension of the operator’s ecosystem
- Fully responsive and optimized for mobile browsers, so users can book a ride directly from their phone without installing the app
📱 App growth built in
- QR code and App Store / Google Play links shown directly in the widget
- Smooth upgrade path from web → app
⏱️ Booking flexibility
- Users can request a ride immediately or schedule a ride for a future date and time
- Works the same way across web, mobile browser, and app
- Scheduled bookings are fully synchronized with the operator dashboard and mobile app
🔄 Fully synced ecosystem
- Country code auto-selected based on user location
- Book via web → see the ride in the app (same user credentials)
- Dashboard receives booking data instantly
- Every booking is tagged with Source:
- App
- Web (dashboard bookings)
- Booker (website widget)
- API
🔐 Clean & secure session handling
- User is logged out automatically when leaving the page
- No persistent browser sessions
💵 Payments logic
- New users: cash only
- Existing users: can choose saved payment methods
- If cash is not enabled → clear message prompts booking via the app
This keeps fraud low while preserving conversion.
✅ Default rollout
- Enabled by default for all ride-hail merchants
- No extra setup required
- Operators decide where and how to use it (hotel partners, landing pages, QR posters, etc.)
Why this matters in practice
Web-booker addresses one of the most common friction points in ride-hailing: users who need a ride now but are not willing to download an app first. By allowing bookings directly from a website, operators can capture high-intent demand at the exact moment it occurs - whether that is on a hotel website, an event page, or a partner landing page.
At the same time, Web-booker makes partnerships with hotels and venues significantly easier. Instead of complex integrations or manual ordering flows, partners can simply place a button or link and immediately enable ride ordering for their guests. Importantly, this approach does not block long-term app growth. The booking flow still promotes the mobile app through QR codes and store links, allowing operators to convert web users into app users over time - without forcing the install upfront.
Web-booker is not designed to replace the mobile app. It extends the acquisition funnel by adding a low-friction entry point, while keeping all bookings fully synchronized with the operator’s app and dashboard.
