The Absolute Guide For Building Uber like Apps

Gary Vaynerchuk is an American entrepreneur, author, speaker and an Internet personality who has global recognition. He has been quoted to say that the on demand hyper growth is upon us and within a few years’ time, most of us will be able to get our required services within a 5 to a 60-minute window. This is absolutely true.  Thanks to the invention of Uber like Apps we can get almost anything we want, and at the time we want it. This phenomenal technology has covered a variety of services from ordering taxi rides, to food delivery, carpenters to plumbers and a beauty or a relaxing massage service. 

Why is there a Rage for On Demand Products?

On demand technology has been designed for convenience and mobility and therefore it is quite natural that mobile apps take the pole position to deliver this technology. With the phenomenal success of Uber, the on-demand business model became an overnight hit as everyone realised that this was definitely the way forward. Investors started taking a keen interest in this area and today we see that this technology has given birth to hundreds of Uberprenuers who are using the on-demand technology for furthering their business.

What to Look for Before Building Your Uber Clone

Identify a Problem

The majority of today’s population has a smartphone. That is why mobile app developers are minting a fortune, creating one app or the other for this population’s convenience and ease. The Uber model has been customized to create Uber for X apps which could be almost any service under the sun. We have an Uber for tutors, beauticians, dog walkers, escorts, alcohol, drugs; well you name it and there is an Uber for that.

However, you should always validate an on-demand idea properly before deciding to invest in the service. Make sure that your idea is addressing a specific problem on an everyday basis and not a one off.

Convenience

People tend to go to MacDonalds, not because of the dollar price but because of the fact that it is providing a conveniently tasty meal. The convenience psychology is what is the driving force in this area.

Features like live tracking, ease of payment, facility to rate and review are a must have feature for any on-demand service you launch into because that is what is providing the “convenience” to the public.

Supply and Demand

Make sure you identify the supply for your on demand service. Questions like “Who will use my service to order grocery” should always be hammering away in your mind if you are looking to start a grocery delivery service. This question and other similar ones apply to any service you are thinking of providing.

Match the Algorithm

One of the most important features of an on-demand app is its ability to match a service provider with a customer request. Two algorithms come into play here, namely the automatic matching system and the manual matching system. Your app can do these successfully if you address the following:

-          Start your business locally before expanding

-          Build trust and get more clients on board

-          Successfully manage service providers and the active jobs

Now that you have your work cut out for you, it is now time to address these issues before you design your Uber like apps. Getting an app is not difficult as there are many developers who are experienced in this technology and will be able to give you an app to suit your business requirements. Once you are ready with your ground work just knock on their door and they will do the rest.
