Opportunity
Portugal has a huge market for on-demand home services. This marketplace is highly fragmented and almost monopolistic due to the lack of sufficient home service providers. In spite of having such a potential marketplace, there are only a few service providers rendering the online facility.The busy lifestyle of the current generation makes them one of the largest consumers of online personalized home services as they prefer assistance right at their doorstep. These platforms act as intermediaries between real-world services and instant online services that efficiently provide support exactly when consumers need them.
The client recognized the necessity of a comprehensive online door-to-door service platform and decided to deploy software that works as a single point contact for the customer to avail various home services.
