Tripmi.ie is an online application that provides the ability to connect with people who would like to carpool with others. The basic service is free while a small fee is charged for groups so businesses and any other kind of social group can promote the concept of carpooling. Tripmi.ie is a 100% secure online community that lets friends, neighbours, co-workers and friends you haven’t met yet arrange carpools. The user has complete control over who can see their profile information ensuring privacy and trust amongst the carpooling community.
This service is provided in the style of a social networking site such that users can build human relationships before accepting or offering each other a space in a vehicle.

Amma Carpool Ireland commissioned this project. The company is built on a vision of change for the environment. ChoiceCuts was awarded the contract to build this online application – the brief was extensive including a requirement for absolute security of user’s information, integration of Google Maps, rich user-interface functionality, comprehensive data management & archiving and online payment facilitation.

After completing an initial review of the site’s requirements we decided to use our own custom PHP framework – this provided the most flexibility and highest level of security without sacrificing performance. We consulted closely with Amma and the graphic designers of the site (Bird.ie) throughout the lifecycle of the project to assist in refining the usability and structure of the application. We gave valuable input into every aspect of the sites development: user interface, process structure, functional behaviour, systems analysis and system testing.

The project was finished to budget and evolved into something more than what Amma had originally expected. Tripmi.ie is a unique site for Ireland which is an ongoing project as the userbase continues to grow.
These screeshots were taken at the time of site launch, the site may have changed since then.
