Reference excerpt

Nekso is a company that offers vehicle for hire services in Central and South America. Its mobile app allows users to book a taxi and track it in real time.

History Nekso is subsidiary of Blanclink, a holding company that started in Toronto. Currently, Nekso has offices in Venezuela, Panama, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, and Toronto. The application can be downloaded for on devices running Android and iOS, and the user should register a profile with their information, pictures and the payment cards with which they could schedule or cancel the service. Currently the company is operating in countries in South America and Central America such as Ecuador, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, as well as Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, South America, Peru, Argentina, Chile and Mexico. Nekso is also planning for expanding its services to cities in USA and Canada. The Nekso app is available on iOS and Android. It provides a mobile application that serves as a network between users and taxi lines, The taxi user can utilize technology to find taxi service in their vicinity, schedule for a trip and make a transaction. Also, there is panic button that can be accessed by the user and the driver to have his/her location shared if he/she is in danger. At the end of the service the application gives the user the option to rate the driver. The app does not charge passengers, however, it takes a certain percentage of each taxi fare. There are other similar companies that provide E-hailing services such as Easy Taxi, UnTaxi, Auto Amigo. Unlike Uber that competes with licensed taxi companies around the world, these services partnered directly with taxi firms. In October 2017, Wall Street Journal reported that Nekso facilitates 400,000 rides per month and also has 140,000 active monthly users on its platform. The company CEO also announced Nekso's plan to expand their services to some Canadian and U.S cities.

Awards Blanclink, the parent company of Nekso, was chosen as one of Top 50 Startup by Silicon Valley's TiE50 in 2015.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nekso (company)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nekso (company) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Nekso (company) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Nekso (company) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Nekso (company)

In research: Nekso (company) appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Nekso (company) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Nekso (company) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Canadian brands, Canadian companies established in 2015, Carsharing, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
