In this post, we are discussing the facts on Ondemand Apps to render good services.

Business Model and Competitors

While service providers like electricians and carpenters can be booked and paid for the app, an automated match-making algorithm will play a crucial role in shortlisting white collared professionals. Some of the most common apps are doing pretty well in the on-demand marketplace.

How to Make Money?

The application must gradually add more revenue streams. Here are few suggested tips by our team of marketers for urban lifestyle services providing on-demand apps:

Sponsored profiles – A few service providers extend extra help to get more business mileage. Sponsored profiles can help in the task.

Advertisements – It is seen that a website with the mobile app is a perfect combination to get good advertising of the app. The app introduction and the other important information regarding the app can be published on the website and on mobile, the app can just start with a click.

Service intro pages

Each service should have a separate screen with a relevant background and text that helps in accessing the app.

Information gathering

Gathering information about the app before installing the app is in user’s benefit as well as for the service delivery. After questionnaire, placing information service can be a smart move.

Program your app in such a way that as projects will list all the work assignments that you will order, service providers hired will automatically get added to Favorites. Both the screens can have buttons to initiate the search of service professionals.

Menu button

• Tasks like Login, Logout, and Account settings can be managed through the Menu button. Carry Call and Share features can also be performed by a button.

• Call feature can offer option to connect with team to share queries or doubts and

• Share can help you recommend the app to your friends and family

• Both these are highly important features to retain the customer and spread brand awareness.

Service Rendering Search for Providers app

On-demand apps require entirely unique features to list and manage their leads through the service marketplace. The apps have two sides of execution, the online marketplace, and offline process management. Here are the features that will make your app a game changer of service marketplace:

• Sign Up process
• Profile screen
• Menu button
• Leads dashboard
• New Leads
• Ongoing projects
• Clients

Working on App

Service providers can also find it difficult to understand app features. Hence, under menu button, place all the given pages. All the main tabs and features should be explained through the simple process like a bubble message.The designing of the app becomes more critical when you come to know that the app you are building is for software professionals.

The important features are discussed on the website and it must be considered that the app should have sound technology that works in the backend such as:

• Matchmaking algorithm
• Database of providers
• Leads management functionality

Plenty offline marketing efforts have also gone into creating a growing platform for service providers. Though the servicing team provides every required feature in the app the design has to be within the limits of US/UI design guidelines.

Auto-next functionality

On-demand apps focus on the automated features which don’t require shifting of pages. Take care of this aspect while designing your service app.

Overlapping

Overlapping of navigation elements can’t be accepted in case of on-demand apps. Make sure such design issues don’t appear in your service rendering app for which your company has such high expectations.

Response time

The response time plays an important role in developing the successful app. Poor response time leads to loss of customers and revenue. Customers want a timely response to their queries which should not be neglected.

The working of on-demand should be such that the people should be able to use it without anybody’s assistance. Sometimes, we may neglect the fact that app has to be used by a person who has less technical knowledge.
