Mobile Apps are no longer just time suckers and a fantasy world outside the reality but over a period of time, on demand market has changed the perception of mobile apps. As a matter of fact, there’s a long list of apps that serve the purpose: making your life easier and saving you time!

With the advent of these handy, newfangled business models, you can “run” pretty much any errand, without doing any running at all. This is especially helpful for those of us who dwell in metropolitan cities, where simple tasks can become horribly complicated by traffic, parking and other mobility issues of densely populated areas.

In this post, Matrix Marketers, a mobile and On Demand app development company suggests taking a look at some of the best new apps that are rapidly expanding to help eliminate the stress of the day to day and keep your life running like a well-oiled machine. These apps will brighten your daily life.

Quality doesn’t come cheap

According to the startup, customer service is a daily challenge since there are two tangents to delivering it. The product and quality of service together help in achieving some realistic goals. The reviews on service provide the opportunity to improve the quality of service to enhance the business,

On-Demand has been a trendy catch-phrase for the mobile app companies like Matrix Marketers emerging within the last decade, all trying to be the cutting-edge technology within their market. The sensitivity involved in providing on-demand services demands that the functionality has to be simple and sound enough. The features like less load time, acknowledgments, notifications and the quick service will increase the scope of your app becoming famous.

Immediate Services

Whenever you are requesting a service from an on-demand app, the instant response is requested. The point here to note down is that the services are requested at a moment which means that at one point in time there will be the huge rush and the hour of the day you will be sitting free. You can consider the example of a taxi or laundry or food app.

This identity crisis won’t make as large an impression in your marketing tactics as it will when it comes to designing wireframes for your mobile app. To match with the customer’s demand and ease, there is a scheduling aspect implemented for ease and convenience to both the user and service provider.

Handstand Screen schedule

Acknowledging the difference will help in the initiatives to evaluate your competition, product conception, and laying out screens for the initial development of your app.

Many issues arise when you start the development for both types of apps, some are a given; demand for services, competitive pricing, contenders in the same market, customer service, etc. Those challenges are relevant for most apps, but the defining matter is being able to have a workforce readily available for spikes in demand and alternately, having enough demand so as not to have idle workers.

Most of the companies have come a long way to deal with the uncertainty of the on-demand apps by forming the ability to implement an algorithm to forecast surges before they happen, increasing the productivity of the app from both ends.

For example, if you are considering the food app, the demand of food orders suddenly goes up if there is rain and at the same time the taxi demand also rises up. So, in our app, if we can predict rain, we will have the setup to deal with the rush hours.

With the recent trend to build for both On-Demand and ‘Scheduling’ apps we, at Matrix Marketers, have gained some insights to be followed by developing the apps. This allows us to sculpt our client’s products based on their market needs, building specific algorithms for more efficient functionality.

On the other hand, after identifying whether you’re building for an On-Demand or ‘Scheduling’ app, you can then determine what functionalities are the best fit for your users. An app to request cabs, we realized within our R&D process that consumers were more likely to hail one based on seeing it versus ordering one from afar. With this in mind, a QR code was applied, now a customer can scan a QR that is placed on the cab and automatically connects them with a driver for the ride.

In the ‘Scheduling’ app space, a mobile app connecting users and personal trainers, massage therapists, and yoga instructors based on the both parties’ schedules. We developed a custom calendar solution in native iOS that allows the trainer to set their availability for training sessions and the consumer to view and book accordingly.

Conclusion

Each technology used was tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual app. Some features in on-demand apps like Geofencing, QR codes or custom calendars, describe the core functionality of the app and also defines the quality of the app. Google Geo-services are available for free but the way they are implemented in the app decides the success or failure of the app. We at Matrix Marketers focus on helping our clients identify this in the initial discovery phase to ease the process.
