Discover the story behind the development of the Chauffeur Taxi Booking System plugin, how it evolved and what awaits us in the future.
In 2015, we released our Car Wash Booking System plugin on the CodeCanyon platform. This plugin filled a niche in the automotive industry, as it was the first of its kind, suitable for managing car wash services. It became a success, motivating us to further explore the market and identify other untapped opportunities in niche products.
We discovered a high demand for a booking system dedicated to transportation services, such as limousine rentals, airport transfers, and taxi bookings. At that time, we identified only one similar product on the market. After the success of our Car Wash Booking plugin, we decided to take on the ambitious challenge of creating a chauffeur and transportation booking system.
The development process wasn’t easy. While there were few WordPress plugins serving this industry, several commercial solutions already existed, though they were complex and costly. We recognized two key advantages that set us apart: first, our plugin was designed for WordPress, a free, widely accessible platform. This meant anyone with a WordPress site could purchase and immediately set up a booking system without the need for technical expertise. Second, our plugin was affordable. Unlike subscription-based or high-cost commercial software, which can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars annually, our product was a cost-effective alternative. Additionally, our plugin offered complete flexibility with no limits—whether it be the number of vehicles, bookings, or routes.
Despite the significant workload and initial challenges, we succeeded in developing a product we were proud of. Version 1.0 was officially launched on December, 2017. The first few days were exciting, with a considerable number of users showing interest. We received plenty of support, as well as suggestions for improvement, which continue to drive our development to this day. Just days after the inaugural release, we rolled out our first update, introducing new features.
From its initial release, the Chauffeur Taxi Booking System has seen numerous enhancements, evolving into a comprehensive tool for managing taxi bookings. Below is a look at some of the most significant updates through the versions:
We believe our plugin stands out because it meets the needs of the market effectively. As of this writing, our plugin has been purchased by over 5,000 customers. Many of our users have provided valuable feedback, showing us what needs improvement and what’s missing. We have always taken these insights seriously and continue to do so, as many of our users are experienced fleet operators who understand the industry well.
Additionally, despite the extensive range of options available in our plugin, we ensure our customers are never left unsupported. Our forum is always open, and we typically respond to queries within 24-48 hours.
Moreover, purchasing a single license means you receive all future updates at no additional cost. Many of our early adopters have been with us since version 1.0 and are now enjoying version 7.8.
Our journey since version 1.0 has been incredible, but it doesn’t end here. In fact, we have a lot of exciting things planned and we’re excited to see what the future holds. If you haven’t tried the Chauffeur Taxi Booking System yet, now is the perfect time. Experience firsthand how our plugin can transform your booking process.
