DesignSilc

Transport and automobile software development company

DesignSilc is a global transport and automobile software development company with teams in Dhaka, Austin and the UK, serving clients in 38+ countries. We develop ride-sharing and rental apps, bus and coach ticketing platforms, fleet management systems and car dealer and workshop software for transport operators and automobile businesses. Our apps handle the practical details of real roads: live GPS tracking on patchy networks, card, wallet and cash payments, multi-language driver interfaces and SMS tickets for passengers without smartphones. Our 70+ developers have delivered 1,000+ projects since 2015.

On the automobile side, we build software for new and used car dealers, vehicle importers, motorcycle showrooms and service workshops: vehicle stock with VIN, chassis and engine numbers, customer leads, finance and instalment tracking, job cards, mechanic time and spare-parts stock. Each system can start as a focused MVP, for example rider and driver apps or a workshop job-card system, then grow in phases. Every transport and dealer system now ships with AI built in: it predicts breakdowns and seat demand, catches fuel mismatches and lets your own AI assistants query trips and vehicles through an MCP server.

Mobile apps for transport and automobile

We build Android and iOS apps in Flutter or native code for riders, drivers, passengers, fleet managers and workshop customers. Driver apps are tuned for budget Android phones, handle weak signal by queuing GPS points and offer multi-language interfaces including English, Arabic and Bangla. Passenger apps support seat selection, Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay or local wallets such as bKash, and digital tickets. Workshop customers can book a service, approve estimates and get updates when their car is ready.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a ride-sharing app cost to build?

The cost of a ride-sharing app depends on vehicle types, matching logic, payment methods, admin features and whether you need iOS as well as Android. DesignSilc gives clients in the USA, UK, Middle East and beyond a fixed quote after a free discovery call. Most clients start with an MVP of rider, driver and admin apps for one city, then add features and areas in phases.

How long does it take to build a ride-sharing or bus ticketing app?

A ride-sharing MVP with rider, driver and admin apps typically takes 10 to 16 weeks for a first release. An online bus or coach ticketing system with seat maps, counters and e-tickets typically takes 8 to 12 weeks. DesignSilc includes field testing on real roads and devices in your launch market before public release.

Can your fleet software work with GPS trackers we already use?

Often, yes. DesignSilc can integrate fleet management software with many GPS tracking devices and telematics platforms that provide a data feed or API, and can also use the driver's phone as a tracker. You get live maps, trip history, fuel and maintenance logs, and alerts for overspeeding or unauthorised stops across your whole fleet.

Do you build software for car dealers and vehicle importers?

Yes. DesignSilc builds dealer software that tracks each vehicle by VIN, chassis and engine number from purchase to sale, with costs, photos, leads, bookings, finance schedules and registration status. Dealers selling new, used or imported cars and motorcycles can see stock, margins and payment follow-ups across branches in one place.

Can workshop customers get SMS reminders for their next service?

Yes. DesignSilc workshop software stores the full service history of each vehicle and automatically sends SMS, email or app reminders when the next service is due by date or mileage. Customers can also receive estimates for approval, job progress updates and invoices, which helps workshops bring customers back more often.

What AI features does DesignSilc fleet and ride-sharing software include?

Our transport systems include an operations copilot, predictive maintenance per vehicle, seat demand forecasting with fare suggestions inside your approved chart, live ETA prediction, fuel slip OCR and fuel mismatch detection, driver safety scoring and crew rosters that respect rest hours. Workshops get a job card diagnosis assistant and parts demand forecasts, and dealers get price suggestions for used vehicles. A passenger chat assistant answers seat, fare and refund questions on web and app, and passenger SMS for delays are drafted for staff to send.

Can Claude, ChatGPT or our own AI agents connect to the fleet system?

Yes. Each system includes an MCP server with tools for live GPS positions, trip lists, ticket sales, workshop failure predictions, parts stock and expiring vehicle papers. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or agents your team builds connect with role-based permissions, seeing only the depots, routes or branches their user can access. Extra trips, fare changes, job cards and purchase orders are created as drafts for a manager to approve, and every tool call is logged. The AI model is your choice, either a cloud provider or a private model on your own servers.
