How to launch multi service app?

We are no longer people who like to live by the old order. We like new and exciting technological crutches to support us in our daily needs. Gone are the days when a phone call would be our only means of getting in touch with different kinds of service providers instantly. Now, all we do is rely on a mobile application to get us what we need when we need it. However, today it is not just about individual mobile apps. We have evolved to another step where a single mobile application can help us access the services of many service providers spanning across different trades. This is a very lucrative business. This is why many entrepreneurs are choosing to go this way and launch their own multi service app.

In today’s blog post, we will expound a little more about this and try to get a little more clarity on the following things:

a. What is a multi service app?

b. What is the flow of a multi service app?

c. How to get your own Multi services app in the market?

d. The launch process to such an application

 

Let us take each of these bullet points individually and get cracking with all the information you may need to set up your own business in this direction.

a. What is a multi service app?

Services unlike commodities were long believed to be non sellable items. But today, services are treated just like products, with fixed costs, fixed timings and so on and so forth. Therefore, just like one can sell products on the app, they can now sell services as well.

A multi service sort of combines the ability of many different types of jobs into one. So, instead of having an app to just offer one kind of service, for example on demand beautician services, the same app can now be used to hire many different types of services providers such as on demand doctor, on demand electrician, on demand plumber, on demand massage therapist and so on and so forth.

b. What is the flow of a multi service app?

The flow of an app is a very important detail. It is what determines the ease of access and usability of the app. IF the flow is not intuitive and is too complicated, regardless of how robust your app is, you will never gain the favor of your audience.

The ideal flow of the app should be such that once the user downloads and registers into the app, either using their Facebook, Gmail or Phone number or even by filling out a short registration form, they should reach the landing page of the app.

Once there, the users should be able to see a list of all the services that the app makes available to them. The user can simply click on the service that they want to hire someone to assist with and they would then be able to access a list of all sub categories of services available within the app.

For example, if the user wants to hire an on demand beautician, they click on beauty services. After that, they can see a list of all the beauty services offered for example, hair and make up, styling, spa, massage, facial and so on and so forth.

Now the user must click on the service that they need. On doing so, the app will expose a list of all the service providers that are registered within the app who offer the said services. Along with their names, other details such as their charges, star rating by previous clients and professional experience will be visible too.

Then, the user can select the service provider that they think is best suited for their requirements. After this, the service provider as well as the user should get a notification for the same. The service provider will then reach the mentioned address to provide the selected service.

c. How to get your own multi service app?

While the obvious solution to this question is to be able to build your own on demand multi services app, it is one that is very expensive and time consuming. Building an app can take years and a whole lot of money that you might not have the budget for.

Instead, a very popular option is to go for a ready made white labeled on demand multi services app like the Gojek Clone app built by a reputed company offering white label services and has an experience in the on demand field for over 7 to 8 years.

This will ensure that you don’t end up paying a lot of money because the obvious expense of hiring developers and getting a space is eliminated. The time to reach market is also considerably reduced. Building an app and launching it in the market would take anywhere between a year and a half to two years, while launching a ready made app can be done in less than a week’s time.

d. The Launch process of your own multi services app

Regardless of how good your app is, if you don’t launch it properly and introduce it with the adulation that it deserves, the app will not do well. People need to be told what they are being offered. You must leave no stone unturned in ensuring that you let your target audience know exactly what your app brings to the table and why they should download and use your app.

Make sure that you get in touch with a marketing company or something to create a proper advertising and marketing strategy and devise a campaign that can solidify the impression about your brand and reinforce the idea that you are a trust worthy and reliable brand. Make sure that you speak to your white label on demand mobile app development company regarding any confusion or doubts that you may be having about your business.
