About Client
The client is based in the USA and came up with the unique idea of creating an Uber like sensation using electric scooter without any manual intervention. The internet connected vehicle could be the next big thing in the local transport. These dockless scooters are undoubtedly an asset in moving more people towards sustainable electric transportation. The client seeks a highly advanced and quite scalable mobile application armed with IoT and Bluetooth low energy integration.
About Product
This application can be a big leap on local transport, any user searching for a scooter, gets the status of nearby Scooter point on his app. To start a ride, user needs to scan the QR code placed on the scooter and then it gets authenticated with online server. The mobile application will communicate to scooter hardware using BLE to unlock it, by adopting this process we have developed a very secure ride experience. Track your ride using GPS device integrated in scooter, adaptive ride cost calculation and complete history of rides make the riding experience smooth.
The Scooter uses automated lock-up, once the ride ends. The solution also provide monetization to user by feature called 'charger' which enables the user to earn by registering as a charger, the duty of charger will be
Capture.i.e taking a scooter
Charge, charging the scooter

This will give an unfair advantage to the application and will boost the popularity in less time. Brainvire integrated third-party payment system and social media handles. The app is also packed with important features as ride history, profile settings, how to ride guidelines, rulebook and more.
Hardware Integration & Application
The integration of the mobile application with the device in the scooter, exchange of data with the scooter and the app was the primary challenge. Also, the client asked for the connectivity to be sleek and in real time.
The use of IoT and Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) integration by the Brainvire team made the connectivity of scooter device and application as per demand. Bluetooth works well even in weaker internet signal areas.
