This showcase demonstrates the sophisticated architecture and technical implementation of the RCN platform - a multi-tier web application that successfully generated thousands in revenue before being discontinued due to COVID-19 market conditions.
Seeking Technical Partners: If you're looking to build sophisticated web applications with complex business logic, multi-platform architecture, and scalable systems, let's discuss potential collaboration opportunities.
The Rideshare Collision Network (RCN) was a groundbreaking multi-platform web application designed to revolutionize how rideshare drivers connect with collision repair services. This complex ecosystem was built to serve different stakeholders in the rideshare collision repair industry.
Built with modern web technologies, the platform was designed to connect rideshare drivers with a specialized network of body shops. The system successfully generated thousands of dollars in leads for participating businesses during its operational period, demonstrating the viability of the technical solution.
While the project was discontinued due to COVID-19 market conditions, it demonstrates expertise in full-stack development, complex business logic implementation, and scalable system architecture. This showcase highlights capabilities in building sophisticated web applications for potential collaboration on similar complex projects.
Integrated Platforms
Database Tables
PHP Files
Architecture
Front-facing website for rideshare drivers to find collision repair services, submit estimates with photos and detailed descriptions, and connect with certified body shops.
Fully hosted custom websites for body shops with integrated estimation system, or embeddable widgets for existing websites - all connected to the centralized lead management engine.
Shop managers could access leads from their own websites or the central RCN platform, with real-time communication tools and comprehensive tracking from inquiry to deal closure.
Customers could submit estimate requests through individual body shop websites, embedded widgets, or the main RCN platform - all feeding into a centralized system.
Real-time messaging between customers and shop managers with photo sharing, estimate discussions, and appointment scheduling capabilities.
Owners could track manager response times, lead conversion rates, and analyze "CLOSE_DEAL" vs "LOST_DEAL" outcomes with detailed reasons for optimization.
