Ingogo is an Australian company that specialises in online taxi bookings, mostly for corporate clients. Cab drivers process fares using a mobile application on Android smartphones.[1] The company services Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.[2][3]
Overview
The company has its own GPS-enabled booking system, and allows any nearby taxi service to pick up a fare regardless of which taxi service they work for.[4] The company was the first in Australia to provide passengers with fixed fares, which included all tolls and charges, and no surge pricing or extra fees due to traffic jams.[5][6] Ingogo's system allows users to book a taxi up to two days in advance.[7] The company has focused on gaining corporate clients such as Qantas.[8]
History
In 2011, entrepreneur Hamish Petrie convinced Moshtix, a company Petrie founded in 2003 and later sold to News Digital Media in 2007, that his idea was workable.[9]
In May 2014, the company closed its internet-based tax receipt service when it was discovered that a security flaw enabled people to access information about clients, the last four digits of credit card numbers and taxi number plates.[10]
In 2015, Ingogo raised $12 million in a funding round that valued the company at $100 million. It claims to have raised more than $16 million in total from Australian investors.[11] More than $4 million came from crowdfunding alone, which was a record on the Australian equity-crowdfunding platform VentureCrowd.[12] The Australian Federal Government has also given the company a grant.[13] Another investor was MYOB co-founder Brad Shofer.[14]
In December 2016, the company postponed plans for a float on the Australian Securities Exchange. It was reportedly considering preference shares or a rights issue in the short term.[11]
In 2021, passengers in New South Wales were able to book taxis through Ingogo using their Opal commuter cards as part of a six-month trial which included ride share and share bike companies.[15]
