Designing a transportation service is hard
Designing & efficiently operating flexible on-demand mobility solutions, tailored to the needs of local communities, is a challenge. Satisfying the demand, while keeping the cost at the minimum, entails managing a lot of complexity & uncertainties.

Finding a trustworthy orchestration tool is even harder
Available tools in the market do not provide enough insights about the future operation. Mobility providers only learn how their service performs once they invested a lot of time and money into a platform

Optimizing a running service is not easy task
The margin for operating an on-demand mobility service is small. Cutting cost and adapting to changing demand with a better model is essential

Conclusion
Replacing humans with an intelligent tool….
We all knew in the team that we neither have time nor the capacity to implement a whole new application along our main platform that we provided for on-demand mobility providers. However this vision project was an excellent way to think through every aspect of our offering from a different lens and use it as a base for future projects.

What's next?
The vision project is still waiting to be implemented. Even if priorities shifted, we as a team learned a lot during the process. Multiple features that we later developed for the core platform can be traced back to the service design tool vision project.
