A what3words Case Study
Jeeny, a leading ride-hailing app in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, faced frequent problems with inconsistent addressing and a rapidly changing urban environment. Riders often entered addresses that the app didn’t recognise, had to pick nearby landmarks, then direct drivers manually — causing detours, higher fares and a risk of getting lost.
Jeeny integrated what3words, becoming the first app in KSA to accept 3‑word addresses so passengers can enter an exact drop-off point. The change delivered smoother trips with no extra directions or detours, reduced wasted time and cost, and enabled Jeeny to predict driver availability and optimise operations more accurately.
