Techno Exponent, a leading IT company has developed Desty and MT.
The team of Techno Exponent has created a taxi booking application called Desty. Passengers can book rides instantly by using Desty, a user-friendly app in the USA. This app is available both in Apple Store and Google play. The users can easily log in to the app with an OTP. This app needs to access your GPS to find your exact location for pick up. Both pickup and drop locations are available on the home page and users can choose mini vans, cars, luxury cars, and SUVs. Choosing any of the transport will help you to get your booking confirmation by placing the order after successful payment. Also, the driver can reject and accept the request placed by the customers.
To make the booking process easier we used Laravel technology-
Desty App:
