Web and Mobile Development of a Home Services Platform
The client
Helpling is a platform for home cleaning services, connecting cleaners with homeowners. The market it operates in is highly competitive and needs a working balance between innovation and sustainability.
The challengeWhat the teams actually needed
Two sides of a marketplace, each needing its own product, and trust holding the whole thing together.
Challenge 01Backend, web and mobile together
The solution had to cover all three rather than start with one and grow into the others.
Challenge 02An entirely external project
The work was 100% external, which called for unusually close cooperation with the Helpling team.
Challenge 03A wide functional surface
Search tools for cleaners and homeowners alike, sign-up, account management and secure payments all had to be built.
What we did
Two platforms that have to trust each other
The product lets local cleaners offer their services and take payment securely, and gives homeowners an equally good experience on the other side. Trust is the whole proposition.
Sign up, find work, get paid
The cleaner-facing platform covers sign-up, a search tool for local cleaning opportunities, and payment handling.
Search and pay
The homeowner-facing side pairs a local search tool with payments, so booking someone is a single flow.
Rails specialists alongside
Netguru’s Ruby on Rails specialists supported the Helpling team directly.
Built on understanding
The relationship has run a long time and rests on trust and on knowing how each side works, which is what makes the cooperation effective — and the product has been received well by customers and service providers alike.
