Remember back to the beginning of the year. It is 8 AM and time to go to the office, but your car is in the shop, so you click on your phone and order a ride-hailing service. Now 12 PM, you can hear your stomach grumbling, so you order food delivery from your favourite local restaurant off of a delivery app. After lunch, you have to make some calls but realizing you have no credit; you have to go online or to the store to get some. Having finished work and are home cooking dinner, you realize you have forgotten an essential ingredient – oh, bother! You go on your phone, again, to order from the local shop to have them send it over. In one day, an individual can use their mobile an infinite amount of times, and there is an app to coincide with every need. Unfortunately, we have to use a separate app for everything, leaving our phone screens in what can only be described as chaos and not always remembering which folder we put each app.
As many of us across the UAE are continuing to practice social distancing and voluntarily putting ourselves into self-isolation to hinder the spread of the virus, we are now more than ever relying on technology to help us in our everyday lives.
With the Careem Super App, the homegrown brand has made headway as the first multi-vertical technology platform app in the region to allow users a one-stop-shop to cater to a wide variety of requirements, offering efficiency and most importantly, saving you time. Tailored to the local needs, it will provide all services under one roof, with a complete roll-out of the app across the region by June 2020. The Careem Super App is a game-changer for the region for easy and hassle-free access to services, focusing on three areas: Mobility of People – everything they do to move people and get them to where they want to go, Mobility of Things – getting people the things they need when they need them, and Mobility of Money – a single, safe and secure payments system for all services. The Careem Super App is an essential tool for people with busy lives who want to spend time on what really matters, offering everyday life essentials, made simple.
