Question

eCabs is a newly created taxi service company that provides online booking for clients in the Lusaka province. eCabs has considered developing a simple website for an online booking System with the capability to enable clients access from their mobile devices and to book for a trip. At the time of their first booking, clients should be able to enter their details into an online form, along with their credit card details. However, clients can also have an account with eCabs and for any subsequent bookings, they can log in to their own account and make a booking for a taxi. They need to be able to enter their trip origin and destination. The system will give them an estimate of cost according to their trip description.

Assuming you have been assigned to design and develop the system for eCabs. You are given three weeks to come up with a blueprint of the system design and present the design to a team of consultants. The online booking System should be able to perform a number of activities such as adding or creating a new customer, checking for available taxis and drivers in the area requested by the customer, calculating cost of trip, issuing online ticket or receipt and processing all bookings transactions. You may add any other possible functions that you deem necessary for this system to function in this business case.

Provide a justification of why this system needs to be developed and ensure that you are professionally convincing to senior management ?
