Client Requirements

In this busy world, nobody has time to go out and find a home improvement provider.Be it plumbers, electricians, carpenters, cleaners or other service providers. Our client wanted an app that will connect them to the tradespeople in no time.

Client wanted a single app that both user types i.e. consumers and service providers can use. Therefore, it has effective role management coding that brings a seamless experience for both the users. Multiple home improvement services within a single app. In addition to this, a service provider can also use this app as a consumer, in case they want services from other vendors. With effectiverole management and supervision, all the client’s concerns were addressed through a single app which worked effectively for various cases. It has successfully turned an amazing idea into a reality.

Challenges & Resolutions

The challenge –
The app was supposed to find available service providers in relation to the location of users i.e. geo-location filters. Highly accurate and precise results were required taking skills of the service provider and their geo-location into consideration.

How we resolved it –
To overcome this challenge, we implemented a robust and feature rich searchmechanism closely integrated with Google Maps and navigation service APIs so consumers can easily find the tradespeople in their region.

The challenge –
Once the user has found the right match, the second challenge was to manage appointments accurately. It was crucial to providing hassle free experience as a time-slot on service provider’s end couldn’t have conflicted with other client’s requests.

How we resolved it –
We handled this uphill task through development of a versatile appointment booking system featuring time-slot management. It enabled service providers to manage and control their available timings and off day/hours from their profile panel.

The challenge –
Another challenge was notifying service providers instantly upon getting a service request. Similarly, users also needed to be notified immediately upon acceptance of the request. There were 6 other events including payment escrow, payment released and job completion where users and service providers were required to be informed in real-time.

How we resolved it –
Our team of skilled developers implemented Google Firebase with great success featuring highly customized code that delivered real-time and fast notifications for both users and service providers.

The challenge –
One more prominent challenge was handling online payments. Initially, both users and service providers have trust issues.

How we resolved it –
We implemented a robust escrow system so both parties can smoothly deal and we overcame this challenge.
