About Metro Taxi
Metro Taxi is a growing ride-hailing company based in Finland. The company operates across several major cities and serves a busy urban population with its fleet of 50 to 70 vehicles.
Metro Taxi aims to provide fast, safe, and reliable transportation to customers who depend on them daily.
As their business expanded, so did their operational challenges. They needed to manage more rides, more drivers, and more data — all while staying in line with strict Finnish government regulations. However, their existing software platform couldn’t keep up.
Their system was slow, outdated, and full of manual processes that made even simple tasks complicated.
Reporting was a mess. Data privacy was at risk. And growing the business felt harder than it should have been. That’s when Metro Taxi reached out to Yelowsoft.
The Challenges Metro Taxi Faced
Growth brings opportunity, but it also brings new problems. For Metro Taxi, the pressure to grow meant more paperwork, more regulations, and more moving parts. Instead of scaling smoothly, they found themselves stuck in operational overload.
Let’s take a closer look at what was going wrong and why these problems were slowing them down.
1. Manual Financial Reporting Was Wasting Time
Metro Taxi is required to submit monthly financial statements that follow specific government guidelines. These reports need to be structured in a certain format and include details like losses, earnings, and trip-level summaries. But their existing software couldn’t generate these reports. It didn’t support the required format.
As a result, their finance team had to manually collect data from various sources, compile spreadsheets, and format every report by hand.
What this meant for the business:
This process consumed dozens of hours every month. It left room for human error and delayed decision-making. Metro Taxi couldn’t respond quickly to changes because their data was always late.
It became a bottleneck for audits and compliance submissions. Instead of focusing on growth, their team was buried in spreadsheets.
2. The Driver App Exposed Sensitive Financial Data
In the system Metro Taxi used before Yelowsoft, the driver app displayed the driver’s own bank account details.
While this may seem convenient, it was a serious risk. GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) laws in Europe are very strict. Any mishandling of personal data can lead to legal penalties, fines, or loss of trust.
Why this was a major problem:
When drivers noticed their bank details were visible, they became concerned. The internal team also felt nervous. It was a ticking time bomb for a potential data privacy issue.
The company couldn’t afford a data breach, especially not when handling financial information. This was a trust issue, a compliance issue, and a legal risk all at once.
3. No Way to Export Ride History
Metro Taxi needed to pull trip data regularly for reporting, internal reviews, and customer service.
But their system didn’t have a way to export this data easily. Every time they needed a ride history report, they had to copy and paste records manually.
What this meant in practice:
Preparing a report could take hours. Customer complaints were harder to resolve because finding trip details took too long.
Managers couldn’t run performance reviews efficiently. Simply put, they had no quick access to the data they needed to operate smoothly.
The Turning Point — Why Metro Taxi Chose Yelowsoft
Metro Taxi wanted more than just new software. They wanted a partner who would understand their problems and build real solutions.
They chose Yelowsoft because we listened, responded fast, and offered a flexible platform that could grow with them.
We didn’t try to sell them features. We focused on solving the problems that were holding them back.
Yelowsoft’s Solutions for Metro Taxi
We delivered a customized, powerful, and easy-to-use ride-hailing software platform tailored to Metro Taxi’s business model.
Each solution was built to remove a specific friction point and replace it with automation, accuracy, and peace of mind.
1. Smart Financial Reporting Built for Government Compliance
We built a custom reporting engine right inside Yelowsoft’s admin panel. It allowed Metro Taxi to generate monthly financial loss statements in the exact format required by Finnish regulators.
How it helped:
With just a few clicks, the finance team could now export clean, structured, and accurate reports.
This removed the need for manual entry and saved dozens of hours every month. It also helped them stay ahead of government audits and internal financial reviews. Reports that used to take days now took minutes.
The best part? No outside software. No formatting headaches. Just plug-and-play compliance.
2. Privacy-First Driver App with Admin-Level Data Control
We redesigned the way sensitive data is handled. All bank account information was removed from the driver app and moved to the admin panel.
Only selected staff members with the right permissions could now access it.
Why this mattered:
This change brought immediate relief. Drivers felt more secure. The business met GDPR standards.
Internal staff felt confident that the system was protecting the company from risk. It built trust — not just between the software and the users, but between the company and its drivers.
3. Easy CSV Export for Ride History and Audit Reports
We added a feature that let Metro Taxi download ride history data in CSV format. Every field they needed — date, driver, passenger, amount, distance, time — was included.
How it helped the business:
Audits became simple. Customer service became faster. Managers could now analyze performance trends, resolve issues quickly, and track operational KPIs with real-time data. No more manual effort. Just smart, reliable reporting at their fingertips.
