Business Model

How partners, agencies, stations, and vehicles relate in the Daakey platform.

Overview

A single partner runs car sharing across multiple countries through one country-level agency per market — each agency operates under its own brand, legal entity, and currency. Inside each country, agencies operate stations (physical pickup/return locations), and each station hosts a fleet of bookable vehicles.

Quick definition

• Partner — the parent company account. Group-level reporting and billing across countries.
• Agency — a country-level operation under that partner. Own brand, legal entity, currency, RBAC scope, signs Client API requests.
• Station — a physical pickup / return location inside a city.
• Vehicle — a single bookable car assigned to a station, telematics-controlled.

Hierarchy at a glance

🏢 Partner	Many agencies (one per country)	Parent company account, group-level reporting
🏬 Agency	Many stations + users	One country, own brand, own legal entity, own currency, RBAC scope, signs Client API requests
📍 Station	Many vehicles	Physical pickup / return location inside a city
🚗 Vehicle	—	Bookable car, telematics-controlled

Worked example

Gulf Mobility Group is a single partner account on Daakey. It operates car sharing across three countries through three separately branded agencies:

Country	Agency (brand)	Currency	Stations
🇦🇪 UAE	Falcon Drive	AED	Dubai Marina, Abu Dhabi Corniche
🇸🇦 KSA	Najm Wheels	SAR	Riyadh Olaya, Jeddah Tahlia
🇶🇦 Qatar	Doha Move	QAR	Doha West Bay

A client in Dubai opens the Falcon Drive mobile app and books the Toyota Land Cruiser DXB A 12345 from Dubai Marina:

1. The booking is scoped to the Falcon Drive (UAE) agency — billing in AED, reporting rolls up to Gulf Mobility Group.
2. Pickup and return both happen at Dubai Marina station.
3. The vehicle's telematics commands (lock / unlock / start) are authorized against the Falcon Drive agency signature.
4. The same client cannot use their Falcon Drive credentials to book a car in Najm Wheels (KSA) — each agency is an isolated tenant. They would register separately under the Najm Wheels brand.

Data scoping by role

Role	Sees
super_admin (Daakey platform)	All partners, agencies, stations, vehicles across the countries
partner_admin (Gulf Mobility Group)	All three agencies (Falcon Drive, Najm Wheels, Doha Move) and their data — for cross-country reporting
agency_admin / agency_staff (Falcon Drive)	Only Falcon Drive's stations, vehicles, bookings, clients — cannot see Najm Wheels or Doha Move data
