Technology

Our own platform, from booking to receipt.

LaBar builds its own software for every part of a trip. One platform runs LaBar Taxi and LaBar Mini, with each service’s fares, vehicles and areas set separately.

What the platform does

Dispatch

Trip requests go to nearby online drivers, who accept or decline in the LaBar Driver app.

Real-time location

During a trip, the rider sees the driver’s position on the map as it moves.

Fares

Fares are calculated on LaBar’s servers from the road route, in whole kyat, and shown before you confirm.

Driver operations

Staff register drivers in a dedicated app, a separate reviewer approves them, and Center Hubs record inspections.

In-app contact

Rider and driver can chat and call each other inside the apps during a trip.

Secure sign-in

One-time codes by SMS or email, with passkeys for staff actions that touch identity, money or approvals.

How we build

  • One authoritative system of record: trips, fares and payments live in a transactional database, not in the apps.
  • Every money amount is stored in whole kyat, and fare changes are versioned.
  • Staff actions on driver records and approvals are kept in an audit trail.
  • Burmese and English in every app.
