Solutions
- Our web designers crafted a particularly user-friendly and engaging design for the website.
- The development team at Adorebits leveraged PHP & Laravel to craft an interactive and feature-rich marketplace platform for booking housekeeping services.
- The app was made robust with secure authentication & authorization access for different types of users (clients, housekeepers, admin).
- The marketplace application was integrated with the category, address and date schedule filters. So, the client could search for the housekeepers in his vicinity and according to the date on which he requires the service.
- The client can transparently check all the service listings, check the price, housekeeper’s profile, experience, reviews, etc. and then send an invite for the task.
- The developers also added a message feature through which a client can directly connect with the service provider.
- The service providers could update their profiles, add their services, mention their prices, include additional transportation fee, add their experience, reply to messages, and accept job invites.
- The developers made a custom admin panel that can be used to manage the clients and housekeepers.
- The admin could also manage the service listings, content on the platform, and respond to the help & support queries.
- We integrated robust payment gateways that are popular in Japan.
- The admin could manage the payments, refunds and his commissions seamlessly.
Results:
- We were able to build and deploy the marketplace platform within 180 days.
- The platform started gaining good popularity across Japan within 2 months after its launch.
