Eco Ride

Building a fully automated payment processing system for a Saudi ride-hailing platform - from fare capture and driver payouts to ZATCA e-invoicing and daily reconciliation - running end-to-end with no manual intervention.

“Shyphan automated our entire payment flow. We went from chasing spreadsheets to payouts and invoices that just run themselves.”

Overview

Project overview

Eco Ride partnered with Shyphan to deliver one hands-off payment engine. Eco Ride was growing fast, but every ride still meant manual work behind the scenes - matching payments, calculating payouts and issuing invoices by hand.

Shyphan built an automated payment processing system that connects Eco Ride’s app and payment gateways to finance, so fares, payouts, invoices and reconciliation all run on their own. The build combined Payment Automation Engine and Invoicing & Reconciliation, configured around how the business actually runs.

Within weeks of go-live, Eco Ride’s payment operations were faster, cleaner and effectively hands-off. Measured outcomes included 100% Automated Reconciliation, 95% Faster Driver Payouts and zero Manual Invoicing. The project was delivered by Shyphan across Saudi Arabia.

The Challenge

Six payment gaps slowing the business down

Eco Ride was growing fast, but every ride still meant manual work behind the scenes - matching payments, calculating payouts and issuing invoices by hand.

Manual Reconciliation

Finance matched thousands of rides to gateway payments in spreadsheets every day.

Delayed Driver Payouts

Payouts were calculated by hand, so drivers waited and disputes were common.

No Automated Invoicing

ZATCA-compliant invoices were created manually, one trip at a time.

Fragmented Payment Data

Card, wallet and cash data lived across the app, gateways and separate sheets.

Failed & Pending Payments

Failed and pending charges slipped through with no automatic retry or follow-up.

No Real-Time Revenue View

Leadership had no live picture of revenue, commissions or driver liabilities.

In Their Words

“Payments were eating our team’s time. Every day started with reconciling yesterday’s rides before we could do anything else.”

Our Approach

Five-phase delivery in 6 weeks

We rolled the system out in controlled phases so live payments were never at risk while we automated the flow behind them.

5. Go-Live & Hyper-careFull cutover to automated processing, daily support and a tuning sprintStable, hands-off system

Why the phased roll-out worked

A parallel run proved every payout and invoice matched before we switched off the manual process.
Live payments kept flowing throughout, with zero downtime for riders or drivers.
Finance and ops adopted the dashboards with confidence because they had already validated the numbers.
