SmartCab: WhatsApp Taxi Booking with No App to Install
In Switzerland as across the world, independent cab drivers face the same reality: ride-hailing platforms that set the rates, impose the rules, and own the client relationship. Olivier Fouvy wanted to change that. His idea went further than building an alternative: not a better platform, but freedom from the interface itself. Entering the era of "interface-free" — freeing the customer from yet another app.

When drivers take back the wheel.
A private dispatch infrastructure built for independent cab drivers and fleet operators in Geneva. SmartCab replaces dependency on ride-hailing algorithms by giving drivers full ownership of their clients, pricing, and network. The app handles the complete driver workflow — from AI-powered WhatsApp booking to team dispatch, custom pricing rules, and automated invoicing — across three subscription tiers (Lite, Pro, Premium) available on iOS and Android.
