Holla fix

Overview

Hectic lifestyle and the tight working schedule have left us with no time for property maintenance. As a result, we end up losing a lot of money whenever there’s a repair job or any household task.

This is where Hollafix enters the scene, it’s an on-demand service company based out of South Africa that offers property management and maintenance services.

As property maintenance has become too time-consuming, painful and expensive – Hollafix aims to create a tool that offers property maintenance services like plumbing, gardening and electrical.

Hollafix has a verified list of taskers and provides services at affordable costs.

Objective

Hollafix aims to create an on-demand service app that connects consumers with qualified service providers without any hassle or fuss and at reasonable prices.

Here’s how it works:

Select your Task

Choose from one of the tasks recommended, or create your own custom task

Describe your Task

Describe your tasks so that our qualified taskers can get a clear idea of the details

Choose a Tasker

Select from a variety of taskers with specific specialities and price points

Approach

From numerous discussions over Skype to the personal client visit to our headquarters in Chennai, this project involved everything. The client visited us from all the way from South Africa to discuss the project, requirements and its scope in South Africa.

Our business associates worked hard to gather all the client requirements and diligently conveyed it to the development team, converting this project into a high-revenue generating business. Our business associates made sure that every requirement and improvisation suggestion is taken into consideration and also implemented.

It not only helped us in delivering in time but also creating a perfect product.

Challenges

Creating an on-demand service app involves a lot of steps, be it integrating SMS gateway API integration or making the app seamless. It’s a great task to make everything run as smoothly as possible.

Here are the main challenges that we faced during the creation of Hollafix app:

  • Payment and SMS gateway API integration: The API – Peach Payments and MyMobile we integrated support only in South Africa. We did API level of testing to develop and test both consoles and in some cases, even the client helped in testing in real time scenario.
