With applications across 18 categories including news, social media, entertainment, and more, AppGallery prides itself by providing users with a high-quality, innovative, and secure apps experience. This is the result of close collaborations with global developers on three fronts. First, a set of fully open Chip-Device-Cloud capabilities to accelerate app experience innovation. Second, a comprehensive full life-cycle operation management support to help developers succeed in business. And third, one-stop operational support for developers worldwide covering the entire development cycle, to incentivize innovation and ensure ecosystem prosperity. With 33 years of science and technology experience, as well as technical expertise thanks to a focus on R&D, Huawei provides strong backing for ecosystem development.
AppGallery has recently teamed up with Taxi Libres, Columbia’s largest taxi company. With more than 30,000 vehicles available across the country, Taxi Libres has more than 30 years’ experience in transport, as well as insurance policies that protect the passengers they ferry. They are also part of the Columbia National Police Cooperating Network. With the Taxi Libres app, city dwellers in Columbia can book taxis at their convenience. Both Huawei and Taxi Libres engineers worked closely, especially to fix bugs on the app before publishing. Huawei also offered their phones for app testing. As a result of this close collaboration, the app was published on AppGallery in just 10 days.
“The taxi market in Columbia is a competitive one for local operators as Beat, DIDI and Uber occupy a large share of the pie. Our challenge was then to increase traffic, downloads, and taxi users via one central platform. Given the large market share, Huawei enjoys in Columbia, especially when more than 50% of our taxi drivers were using Huawei mobile phones, and the potential we see in AppGallery in gaining more clout, our decision to partner with Huawei was a natural one,” said Maritza Hernandez, Director of Technology, Taxi Libres.
The Taxi Libres App on AppGallery is enabled by five different HUAWEI Core and Capabilities Kits, optimizing Huawei’s unique hardware and software capabilities for an innovative experience – HUAWEI Account Kit, HUAWEI Analytics Kit, HUAWEI Push Kit, HUAWEI Maps Kit, and HUAWEI Location Kit. A first in Columbia, the Taxi Libres App is integrated with Account Kit that is equipped with simple, secure, and quick sign-in and authorization functions. Huawei users who are logged into their Huawei account can directly and conveniently login to the Taxi Libres App.
Analytics Kit, exclusive to Huawei, provides multiple capabilities to analyze user behavior and attribute data, thereby allowing Taxi Libres to gain in-depth insights into their users and how they interact with the app to finetune the app experience. With Push Kit, users can use the in-built instant messaging and real-time message receipts function to communicate with their drivers. The company can also accurately push messages to select users in tailored messaging styles.
Location Kit provides hybrid locations, combining GPS, Wi-Fi, and base station location data, to get precise user locations more quickly. The Map Kit has collected more than 120 million pieces of POI information and over 344 million addresses, covering more than 200 countries/regions. This brings about a higher degree of accuracy while using up less memory.
Huawei constantly works on collaborations with the world’s top app developers to create quality apps. All applications developed in collaboration with Huawei, along with thousands of other quality apps, are available on Huawei’s open and secure app distribution platform, AppGallery. One of the top three app marketplaces globally, AppGallery is available in more than 170 countries and regions and connects 700 million users to Huawei’s smart and innovative ecosystem.
