The whole world is going online, and we are still sitting in the era of 1900’s where people use references to hire workers for their home. Online Service Finder (OSF) is a web application that provides an easy way to find a service provider. It is a marketplace for service providers, as well as consumers. The site offers many different types of services, such as maids, cooks, drivers, home tutors and more. It helps people find what they are looking for by presenting them with a list of providers in their area who offer that service. Our software creates the bridge between the worker and the finder.
Objectives
• Build a marketplace
• Bridge between worker and finder
• Service providers offering their services
• Seekers ordering or hiring those services
• Direct Contact between worker and service seeker
• Hire from a list of available workers based on (Reviews, Work Experience, Nearby Area)
• Feasibility to choose for themselves rather than being assigned by company
• Ability to give feedback
Socio-Economic Benefit
The web-application is of much significance as it is an agile way of hiring and providing services. Time is saved and the risk of security/privacy is reduced. Industries, offices, houses, restaurants, educational organizations are major areas where it can be used. The software can be used in any industry that wants to acquire services which providers on the application are offering. Work like cleaning, washing, fixing stuff is the need of every household. Offices always need guards for the security of its people. There is no better way to get these facilities from a portal rather than depending upon various references. There are many advantages for both the consumer and provider on this website. Consumers get access to reliable services at competitive prices, while providers have access to new customers who are looking for their services online. Transparency is there as users know which person they are hiring.
Methodologies
For development projects like OSF, Agile methodology has been used. Agile methodology is an iterative approach that involves breaking the project down into smaller sprints and working collaboratively to adapt to changes and feedback throughout the project. Agile methodology allows for more flexibility and collaboration, which can be particularly helpful during the development of a new application.
Outcome
Outcome of OSF would be a powerful marketplace platform that will offer a place to get work done as well as find work in a very easy and efficient way.
