   Consumer Process

Booking a Ride:

Consumers can easily book a ride through the OutStation app by selecting from three options: One-Way, Round Trip, or Rental Booking. The app provides a map interface for selecting the pickup and drop-off locations. Once a booking is made, consumers receive a notification when a partner accepts the ride. To register, consumers need to enter their mobile number and verify it using an OTP sent via MSG91. This streamlined process ensures a quick and hassle-free experience for booking rides.

2. Partner Process

Registration and Booking Management:

Partners undergo a three-step registration process:

1. Personal Information: Partners provide their name, mobile number, agency name, and Aadhar details.
2. Driver Information: Partners add driver details, including the driver's name, mobile number, driving license (DL) information, DL image, and driver profile photo.
3. Vehicle Information: Partners select the type of vehicle (Mini, Sedan, or SUV), enter the vehicle's registration certificate (RC) number, and upload an RC image.

Once the admin approves all provided documents, partners can specify the state they operate in and manage bookings in their designated city. Partners can only accept bookings if their vehicles and drivers are verified. They must maintain a minimum wallet balance, recharged through Razorpay, to accept bookings. Additionally, partners are subject to penalties for canceling bookings without completion, with the penalty amount varying based on the delay in cancellation.

Admin Process

Approval and Monitoring:

The admin panel is the central hub for managing and monitoring the entire system. Admins are responsible for reviewing and approving all partner registrations, including personal, driver, and vehicle information. Only after this approval can partners begin accepting bookings. The admin panel also provides comprehensive visibility into all partner transactions, including recharges made through Razorpay. Admins oversee the entire process, ensuring that all partners comply with the platform's rules and regulations, maintaining the system's integrity and reliability.
