How BitPro became Central America’s fastest-growing ride-hailing app

How BitPro became Central America’s fastest-growing ride-hailing app

About the company 

Bit Pro (ex. Taxi Bit) was founded in 2015 in Michoacán, Mexico. It started as a traditional taxi company and became a ride-hailing service with 100% of orders coming from the Customer app.

After switching to the Onde platform, building partnerships, securing investors, and undergoing strategic scaling, Bit Pro became the fastest-growing ride-hailing platform in Central America.

The challenge of automating the taxi business

Bit Pro began as a taxi company operating via manual dispatch, where every order was handled by an operator. This process proved inefficient as soon as the company started growing, so automation became the necessary goal.

At first, Bit Pro chose to outsource app development to a software development company. After spending almost 10 months on development, the apps they got were buggy and unreliable, and Bit Pro had to look for another option. That’s when they found Onde. 

After switching to Onde, Bit Pro quickly achieved user satisfaction and driver loyalty and became the only serious competitor to Uber in Michoacán, Mexico.

Over the next three years, Bit Pro has shown steady year-over-year growth, with the number of orders and passengers doubling or tripling annually. It took four years of dedication to achieve the milestone of 30,000 orders per month, marking the journey to real success. 

Scaling to Costa Rica

Now that the company had excellent service and user experience, it was time for Pro Bit to scale and build partnerships. In 2021, a group of drivers formed a drivers association in Costa Rica, of which the founder of Bit Pro was also the president for three years in a row.

After finding investors, the company has expanded to Limon in Costa Rica and has become Uber’s main competitor in the region once again, growing twice in half a year. 

Additionally, Bit Pro began to establish strategic commercial alliances with many businesses and the Chamber of Commerce in the Caribbean region.

Building an international brand

Bit Pro is now going global: the company began its operations in Guatemala and significantly shortened the growth period there. Rather than entering the capital city, they chose to start in areas we could better control, such as Quetzaltenango (Xela), invest economically, and take a highly strategic approach to marketing.

A similar strategy was applied in Panama. After conducting in-depth research, they decided to launch in the David, Chiriquí region.

Bit Pro continues to seek opportunities across various markets, strategizing and growing along the way. They prioritize relationships with drivers, starting from small cities, and investing heavily in marketing.

Our commitment and efforts to help drivers see themselves as a key part of the app — being heard, valued, and included in improving the platform and working conditions.
