Case Study: Bounce achieves faster, more accurate scooter sharing with Google Maps Platform and Searce

Making urban mobility more accessible in India with Google Maps Platform

Bounce, an Indian mobility platform, sought to make urban transport more accessible through a scooter-sharing app that could scale rapidly and provide a reliable user experience. The company partnered with vendor Searce to implement Google Maps Platform as the core of its map-based application, which needed to accurately guide users to available vehicles and efficiently plot routes through India's complex city landscapes.

Searce helped Bounce build its solution using multiple APIs from Google Maps Platform, including Maps Javascript API, Place Autocomplete, Geocoding, Directions, Roads, and the pivotal Distance Matrix API. This implementation resulted in a 15% improvement in location accuracy, a significant increase in user conversion rates, and fewer cancelled rides. The platform's scalability and reliability supported Bounce's rapid growth to a fleet of 35,000 scooters, achieving an average of eight rides per vehicle per day.
