About Us
Beat is a platform that transforms the way people move in their cities. Tap on a button on your smartphone and you get a ride in just a few minutes.
In early 2017 Mytaxi, a subsidiary of Daimler A.G, acquired Beat. Beat started its life as Taxibeat, 6 years ago in Europe and 3 years ago expanded its operations to Peru where it serves millions of rides every single month. It is already establishing its position in South America with Chile being the latest new market and Colombia following soon
How are we going to achieve that?
By constantly growing our world-class engineering team and developing projects such as car-pooling, personalized services, real time pricing mechanisms, routing and dispatching algorithms and fraud detection/prevention systems. To this end we are opening a new engineering hub in Berlin that will work in close collaboration with our Data Science and Big Data teams in Athens on building the next generation of intelligent systems, serving both our analytics teams and our product teams.
