Flickassist helps trade plate passengers connect with trade plate drivers to arrange lifts
Hoping to revolutionise the journeys of trade plate drivers in the UK, Andrew came to me with the idea for Flickassist in 2018: a trade plate driver look-up system that allows plater journey matching to easily arrange and offer lifts, utilising Google Maps API for geolocation and geocoding, and SMS notifications for drivers.
Working with another local developer, Gareth Griffiths, we designed and developed a bespoke WordPress website complete with performant WordPress theme and integral plugin. Utilising a proprietary matching algorithm the website intelligently pairs up drivers that are likely to cross paths during the course of their work enabling them to offer each other lifts between locations, helping them get to their next appointment without hassle.
The site went live in 2019 but getting it into the hands of drivers was unfortunately hampered by covid and associated lockdowns. Andrew is looking to drive forward interest in Flickassist in 2023 and beyond.
