  • Project Description

    Customers expect an easy experience when they order a product so why is ordering a service so difficult? Shopify has transformed the way we sell and purchase products, Mobe will change the way we sell and purchase a service. Mobe provides a fast easy way for anyone to offer their services on their own personalized app. Setting up Mobe is quick and easy. Here are the top 3 problems experienced from the Seller’s side: Service providers are not laptop people, they are mobile people, working with their hands and driving to service locations. Current mobile solutions specialize in one or two things such as a payment portal and scheduling or just payments or just scheduling or invoicing and payments. Mobile workers default to text, it's fast, but hard to keep track of threads and only for messaging. Workers have to go home and do scheduling, answer calls, send information to potential buyers or customers, work never ends. Top 3 problems from the customer side: It's hard to get information about services, pricing, availability from service providers as many do not have a website or an easy way to schedule and pay them They work with their hands during the day, they don’t have time to answer your call much less even remember you or what they did for you. Customer service is low as it’s difficult to get someone out. They mostly text or call you and it’s hard to find them again or remember what service or price they provided in the past for you
