Ethiopia in the African continent is becoming a business hub of all sorts; different industries like agriculture, construction, tourism, transport, etc in Ethiopia are transforming to the next level with the rise of technology and the internet; businesses that seriously required innovation are being aided by cheap cloud computing and digital advances. New age ideas that created waves in the US and Europe are slowly entering the Ethiopian market; chances are bright that they too will be well received by the African environment. Connectivity was a serious issue that hampered the growth of the overall Ethiopian economy. This is now a problem of yesterday. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur or a business owner, then you better take a look at the tech startup models across the globe. Now we will see about the present startup scenario in Ethiopia. What is the Scope for On Demand Startup in Construction and Tourism Industries in Ethiopia? Startup market in Ethiopia The African continent’s seventh-largest economy with 100 million population is poised to become the largest startup hub of Africa. Already some tech startups are doing well despite global competitors. Angel investors and venture capitalists(VC) have grown to a great number in Ethiopia and are on the lookout to fund exciting and people-oriented startups. Two main critical issues for launching a startup: funding and connectivity is no longer present. Below I have explained the potential for startup ideas in two major industries in the Ethiopia market. I made good research to find the area which can do the much-needed disruption in the market. Construction sector in Ethiopia and ideas for a tech startup The construction segment in Ethiopia employs more than 2 million people with a GDP contribution of 9.5%. Not to mention that many of the workers are from low-income families. Hence, this segment is the lifeline for many families. The year-on-year growth of the construction sector is 12% and foreign direct investment is pouring fast because of the demand for affordable, quality housing and commercial space. On-demand construction Problems in the construction sector are many and prominent of all is to find workers, skilled professionals like architects, and getting equipment on time. I think the on-demand uber-like model can solve this. Uber app-based taxi booking model can be universally used for many services; this is the logic behind using the Uber model. Mobile apps can be used to connect service providers with customers in a matter of time. You can launch this startup as a platform for service providers to list their service; customers just search for the appropriate service and connect with them; for every booking, you can charge some commission. The on-demand model consists of three interfaces each for the customer, service provider, and admin. A smartphone app is present for the customer and service provider. Get Free Demo – WhatsApp | Skype Working of the on-demand construction app The customer(construction firm/individual) registers all the details in the customer app along with the need as a description. Search results are displayed based on the description and location entered. The user now finds and sends a request to the service provider. The service provider in his mobile app gets a request which can be accepted or rejected based on the situation. After the request is accepted, the user gets the location of the service provider until he reaches the location. After service is over, an invoice is generated for both the users. Architects, laborers, professionals, civil consultants, and equipment lenders shall register in this app to get maximum visibility. Apart from tech entrepreneurs, construction firms and enterprises can operate this on-demand construction business. Tourism in Ethiopia and digitalizing tourism The government of Ethiopia is using the tourism sector to eradicate poverty. This 6% GDP contributor uplifts millions of people from the clutches of socioeconomic disadvantages. Ethiopia is home to scenic places, hill stations, museums, monuments, cultural heritage centers. The tourism sector in this place mainly fuels tourist guides, hotels, and room rentals. People from all over the world who enter Ethiopia are the target users of the tourist services. Here too you can apply the on-demand Uber model to access the services. Tourist guides and hotels shall list their services online so that users can access it efficiently. Working on the On-demand tourism app is not very different from the on demand construction app. Who can operate the on-demand Uber for the tourist app? Room rental booking app An online marketplace can be created just to access the hotel service, room rentals, and cottages. Examples of such services are many across the globe. Space listing apps like Airbnb and OYO are market leaders in this segment. There is no big capital investment in this startup model since it is a marketplace you just have to create the app solution and market it. Tourist guide app In the same way, you can launch a standalone tourist guide booking app. Multiple payment options and languages must be present so as to cover more tourists. The incoming tourists shall pick the right guide based on location, language, etc. Both the above ideas are impressive and won’t take much time to launch. To make your work easy, I recommend you to use the on-demand app solutions available readily in the market with the option for 100% customization. SpotnRides on-demand Uber like app You need not search elsewhere for a 100% customizable app solution for your construction and tourism startup when you have SpotnRides. SpotnRides is one of a kind solution that was built using the bottom-up approach. As of now, SpotnRides solution is being used by many startups in the Middle East, the US, and Africa.

Why SpotnRides is the Trustworthy Uber Clone Script to Launch an On Demand Taxi Business in 2020?
Getting into entrepreneurship is the new fad among young people and they are more cautious than ever; sudden failure of many startups within a year of their launch is the reason for this. Tools and resources available in the market to leverage data are increasingly used now and the rate of success of startups has increased a bit. So, it is safer now to enter the startup segment. Having said that, the year 2020 is going to be great for the on-demand segment, especially the taxi booking market; experiences and insights available from brands like Uber, Luft, Grab, and Ola have made the online taxi booking market attractive for entrepreneurs. Choosing the online taxi booking idea for your entrepreneurial journey assure you half success; rest is also assured if you use the Uber clone solution. Advanced Uber-like taxi booking apps targeting the global market is available with SpotnRides. It is also the top trusted Uber clone script so far when you go by our market share. SpotnRides Uber clone solution is known for its standard architectural framework with which it is built; code quality is another area SpotnRides has proved its mettle; UI/UX design of this solution gives a sense of hold over navigation and browsing. Let me now explain the features in the SpotnRides app solution. I have deliberately avoided some basic features in order to show how SpotnRides different from the rest. How SpotnRides Uber Clone Solution Differs from Others? Trademark features in SpotnRides Location sharing The safety of the riders is now taken to the next level using location sharing. Once the rider gets in the cab, he/she gets a notification whether to share the real-time location. The user shall share the location with more than one contact. The contact tracks the route and can find any deviation from the specified route. This tested feature has got a good response from our existing clients. Cab no. plate intimation This feature also is aimed to ensure the safety of riders. After the cab has arrived at the pickup point, the rider gets a notification to check the cab’s no. is the same as that of the displayed no. in the app. The mechanism behind it is very simple and top firms like Uber have just adopted it. SOS button Both the above features ensure safety but it is not absolute. To ensure complete security to riders, we have the SOS button. SOS button is displayed in a seemingly better position in the rider app; in case of emergency, one-touch on the SOS button sends a distress message to pre-selected contacts. This feature is also present in the driver to ensure the driver’s safety. Estimated time of arrival(ETA) The enhanced version of the estimated time of arrival in SpotnRides gives the rider a more precise value. Traffic data, cab speed, and optimized distance for a pick-up are processed using an updated machine-learning algorithm to give the best results. The same technology is used to estimate the time for reaching the destination. Heat map Heap map uses a large amount of existing user data to find the place of maximum taxi booking demand. This helps the admin to streamline the cabs by sending notifications to the drivers. Just like the ETA feature, the heat map option is upgraded by our technical team to be more accurate. Call based booking Cab booking from the rider app is ineffective if the GPS in the smartphone is not working. So we decided to bring the traditional method of booking a cab through call. This option shows if the GPS is not working. Users who feel booking from the mobile app is not okay can resort to manual call booking. All in one admin web panel The all in one admin web panel is a centralized system to connect with all other users and oversee the entire operations. Booking status, cancellations, payment receipts, commissions debited, active rides, are displayed in real-time in the front panel. Daily/monthly/semi-annual sales and other financial parameters can also be viewed. Direct call and chat The chat and quick call option in the driver and rider enables them to use it in times of need. We have made special changes to this feature where the driver cannot view the entire no. of the rider; this we did to ensure some safety. What kind of support do you get from SpotnRides after the app is live? SpotnRides after-sales support is a class apart in terms of timing and quality. We are among the most sorted on-demand taxi app development firms also because of our commitment to provide better assistance. App updates, technology recommendations, bug fixing, etc are provided free of cost for some time. We constantly renew our products with relevant technologies and intimate the same to our clients Assistance in social media marketing with a special focus on user acquisition is also done. Scaling the app solution relative to the startup expansion is effortlessly carried out by our experienced team. Free addon features based on its ease of incorporation. Cost of SpotnRides We always believe in reliability and authenticity; the solution is made with utmost care keeping the cost-conscious clients in mind. Hence, our SpotnRides solution is not priced above the average script cost in the market. That said, we get a single time payment and then charge only for add-ons. Final words! It is now or never!. The on-demand taxi booking business is apt for those who need not spend money on assets, still, build a large startup. To discuss more about our solution, catch us on hello@spotnrides.com.

Tips to Attract Millennials to your Taxi Booking Startup Brand Using SpotnRides
The cost of car ownership is making the young generation to change their attitude towards transport. This case is not isolated and is obvious across the world, especially in the US. On-demand taxi booking startups like Uber and Lyft came as a boon to the millennials; a smartphone with a network is necessary to book a taxi. It is even found in a survey that taxi startups like Uber have a large proportion of young users than any other startup services. Now the situation is spreading to other on-demand services. New taxi startups that are serving at the local level are yet to enjoy the demand from young users because of a host of issues. If you are a small-time tech entrepreneur running a taxi startup, then it is high time that you make changes. Here in this blog, I have explained the measure you must take to attract millennials to your brand. We develop SpotnRides, a taxi booking app solution for startups; it is based on our experience in this segment we try to bring as many insights to address this issue. What are the Tips to Attract Millennials to Your On-Demand Taxi App Booking App Startup? Network connectivity Having a wi-fi inside the cab can be a better way to attract young users. Not to mention that millennials are staying online most of the time and their work also demands that. So, a wi-fi facility inside the cab will be of much help. You can even mention this while the users are booking the cab. Millennials are even ready to pay a little extra for the network facility, so you need not worry about the cost. Combine with the local network provider to materialize this feature since network providers can get more users because of this. One-touch seat sharing This option is similar to carpooling, but the carpooling feature does not allow anyone to be picked up anywhere along the route. Instead, you bring a new feature called one-touch seat sharing to allow the users to share the seats to any of their friends along the route; the fare is then split based on distance traveled. Millennials like to socialize and the option of one-touch seat-sharing not only reduces the taxi fare but also improves the socialization factor. In one-touch seat-sharing, the rider adds the contacts to which the seats will be shared and the location of pick up is sent to the fellow riders. The cab driver gets the location of stops to pick the new riders. Get Free Demo – WhatsApp | Skype Keep up with industry trends Unlike the previous generations who are not very cautious about the value in terms of comfort, millennials are way too concerned about the values offered by taxi services; this value consciousness starts from the using the app until the taxi ride ends. So while developing the customer app itself gives more emphasis on creating values like not letting unwanted notifications, ads, and easy navigation. Be in line with the latest industry trends especially in the on-demand taxi booking market since young users vales the latest trends more than anything else. Even the ride quality is a part of creating value, users normally hate bumpy rides, hence focus on getting professional drivers. This may sound absurd but if it can make a significant change, then it is worth pursuing. Optimal pricing strategy Cost plays a significant role in the deciding factor for young users and they are ready to pay any price if it is totally worth it. In the taxi booking app solution, the algorithm only decides the fare based on waiting time, distance, speed, and the type of car. This mechanism is far better than the unregulated taxi industry, but not very attractive for the present young users. Try to figure out the factors that affect the taxi fare and compromise of any of the factors to reduce the fare; compromise cannot be on comfort and facilities. The type of car used can significantly bring down the cost. You can even go overboard and decide on the type of vehicles that can be registered in the app. Choosing the type of vehicle There is definitely an option in the app to choose the type of vehicle based on the seating arrangement. But, what I want you to do is to give options to select the cab based on the car brand, luxury, and other factors. Not all of them will be used to ride in a particular type of vehicle. While getting on-board drivers, try to build diverse taxi types to cater to young users. Final say! I think most of the tips I explained above has a lot to do with the app solution. SpotnRides, as I said before is well versed in customization of the taxi booking solution. Many of our existing taxi startup clients have adopted these tips and said to have captured a niche young users. These features won’t take much time since our team is used to quickly incorporate new functions. Interested to join with us? Then feel free to send us a mail to hello@spotnrides.com.

Non-Technical Factors you Should Look Before Developing App for your On-Demand Taxi Startup
Extreme automation is happening in every field and taxi booking is no different. Uber first released an app to book a taxi from anywhere and anytime. Uber also introduced third-party taxi attaching. So literally anyone with a taxi booking app setup can launch their own startup without any capital for other assets. If you are one of them like this, keen to enter the on-demand taxi segment, then you must have started to develop the app solution. I’ll recommend you a much better way to build the app solution later. For now, we will see some non-technical factors you should look into while or before developing the taxi app solution. The taxi booking app market is overcrowded with a lot of small startups; to differ from others it is more than a need to make subtle changes. There are some non-technical factors which I will discuss shortly which have enough space to play with. What are Some Non-Technical Factors You Should Look Before Taxi App Development? A glance at your competitors First things first, take a look at your competitors and find out how they view the taxi app market. It is better to look into successful well-operating peers. Also, find where you are relative to your peers. This will give an idea of where you should start. Competitor neglect is a serious issue that will drive your business to a dead end. Licensing and documents In order to get more drivers on board, some taxi startups will overlook the basic idea of quality drivers and cars. Have a stringent mechanism to filter drivers and pick the right one; a significant change can be observed when quality drivers are used. Licensing and documents related to insurance, driving permit, and inspection from govt. depts. must be carefully overseen keeping in mind the future safety of riders. It is better to have an automated mechanism to check driver licensing and even show it to riders while booking increases the credibility more. Type of cars used Just because it is a taxi you cannot allow all types of cars to register with your service. Have a mandatory regulation in place for cars like for example, only cars manufactured after a specific year is accepted, cars must successfully pass pollution standards, etc. You can even go overboard and certify cars based on comfort and luxury. Get Free Demo – WhatsApp | Skype Driver satisfaction Off late I am seeing many on-demand taxi startups not paying attention to the drivers and driver app. This has led to a high level of log out from the driver side. Give the same preference to drivers like how you give to riders. Make sure the driver app is good in navigation, browsing, usability, and look & feel. Like how you have a quick response customer care option in the rider app, have the same in the driver app to address immediate queries. No compromise on the app development Technical error in the app can break the startup function which cannot be rebuilt. Like I said before, join with an experienced app development firm for your startup. Some experienced firms leave no room for error. One such firm is SpotnRides. SpotnRides is specialized in on-demand taxi app development and we offer pre-built MVP solutions. You need not worry about the app solution and instead focus on other non-technical factors. Have the USP right in front I hope you have already sorted the apt USP for your startup, if not please do it. We have a dedicated blog for estimating the right USP for on-demand startups. Now, your USP should have a direct connection with the users; In the app solution, try to project it in a way the users are able to get it effortlessly. For a highly competitive market like the taxi startup, generating a USP and making it reach the users is of paramount importance. USP can be in the form of features or experience. You can also discuss with the app development partner to place the USP. Reworking on the UX/UI design Uber app solution is mostly taken as a reference by app development firms to build apps. I recommend you to rework at least on the UI/UX design to give a different feel to the users. Reworking on it is easy and the only thing it requires is a professional designer with expertise in advanced tools. The same app development firm you are working with can definitely handle this task. The app design should have your firm’s signature in it and this is the first step towards branding. Final words! These non-technical factors are important and have the potential to change the game. To accomplish this you shall partner with SpotnRides. Like I said before, SpotnRides is a better-placed firm in the on-demand app development market.

Help Daily Travellers with your On-Demand Shuttle Transport Startup using SpotnRides Uber like App Solution
Long-distance commute on a daily basis and office commute are tedious in the present city environment. Obviously, there are options like cab and riding own vehicles. The former option is not always pocket-friendly and on a daily basis, it seems impractical. The latter option demands physical strength to endure the traffic. So, both options are not entertained. Next suitable but yet to tap opportunity is the shuttle service. Shuttle services typically mean shuttling between two places with stops in between. You can ask if this model is already there? But the model of premium shuttling service is yet to be tapped in the private sector. It would be a good idea for you to launch a shuttling services startup to provide affordable transport to daily commuters. The ROI and the potential for earning big is huge in this startup model. I strongly recommend you to use the on-demand app-based model for this startup business. Already, Grab and Uber have stepped into this domain.

Urban cities It is obvious that most of the commercial establishments and important spots are in the outer area of the urban cities. Launching a shuttle transport to connect the heart of the city to the outer area will be very well received by riders. The cost of transport is generally high in urban cities and now the demand surge has added to the woes. It is highly practical to step into the urban market using this market. Villages If you worry about the operational cost in the cities, then the rural segment might be the better option. The ridership in villages in very low and they look for a subsidized yet comfortable means of transport. So, have an eye in this market. MNCs and commercial organizations Business parks have a lot of commercial establishments and MNCs. Recurring rides are popular in such areas because of the round the clock business activity. Nowadays we can see business parks in almost all tier 2 and tier 3 cities. The per capita income of the people in their business establishments is good. Hence, on-demand shuttling service will be a hit. Get Free Demo – WhatsApp | Skype On-demand app solution for shuttle services and its working If you think this shuttle transport is impressive and decided on the target segment for operation, then it is time to look into the app solution. The overall app solution is similar to that of the typical Uber taxi app. We at SpotnRides have a readymade version of the shuttle transport solution for entrepreneurs like you. Let me now explain the interfaces it has. Passenger app The passenger app is available on both iOS and Android. The rider just needs to download the app, register details, enter no. of passengers, ride destination, pick up point, and seats preferred. The driver gets the request and sends the time of pick up and fare for the ride. The passenger can choose between a one-way ride or a round trip. Our passenger app is customer-centric with more emphasis on user experience. A foolproof design ensures ease of usage without any hitches. Driver app The route is completely optimized and dynamic to allow a seamless ride for the driver. The driver gets notified about the stops and bookings at each stop. After every booking, he will get the details of payments. The route for the ride is not fixed and can be changed frequently based on demand. The algorithm in the driver app ensures the route where maximum persons have a common destination. Admin dashboard The admin dashboard is a central console that is used to monitor all functions of the operations. Fleet management, driver working status, total rides, total bookings, demand fluctuations, the status of ongoing rides, etc are displayed in real-time in the admin dashboard. The admin also manages the load factor i.e. maximum occupancy per ride to improve mobility. All feedback from the driver and passengers after each ride is shown in a separate panel on the dashboard. Admin dashboard can also run analytics to get valuable data regarding startup. Finance tools are also present which is easy to use. Niche features in this shuttle transport app Advanced booking system Routine commuters can use the scheduled booking option to reserve seats in advance. This feature is synced with the calendar and reminds before the ride. Recurring orders are also possible wherein the rider specifies the start and end date during which the booking is made automatically. Daily commuters in the same route like this feature very much. Sustainable mobility Long term sustainability and smooth commute without any hassle is the USP of this shuttle service. To ensure that, the software get data of the riders, traffic, driving time, and average distance to build algorithm; this algorithm further optimizes the function to ensure sustainable mobility. Customizing the service Sometimes this problem arises in shuttle transport wherein the driver needs to delay starting the ride or offer a new ride later.

What Payment Module for 2020 You Can Add in your Taxi Booking App Startup and How SpotnRides Can Help?
Instances of failed transaction in payment is haunting the on-demand taxi industry. At present, more than 50% of the taxi fare is paid in cashless format. This is a giant stride in the on-demand taxi segment, but failed transactions are a serious issue that affects the reliability of the taxi service. If you are operating or yet to launch a taxi startup like Uber, then you must be apprehensive about it. The overall time and cost associated with cash payment is considerably high, which make the need for digital payment inevitable. Some taxi startups may overlook the concept of digital payment, but while you are in an intense market, cost-cutting is good and hence, you don’t shift your focus from the vital cashless transaction. Here in this blog, I have explained some secure and reliable payment modules. I recommend you to take notes on it and implement it for the year 2020. Before going into the new payment types, let me explain some points to increase the success rate of the existing payment system. This you can discuss with your taxi app solution developer. What are Some Secured and Reliable Payment Modules for Taxi App Development? Super smart payment page The payment page is where the mode and other details are collected. This page size, responsiveness, and validation have a huge influence on the payment success rate. Working with the app and web app developers will give you insight into building the apt payment page. Neat handling of failed transactions Sometimes transaction fails because of some internal issues in the network which you have less control with. Still, it can be turned around by reverting to the payment page and showing other options. The latest payment gateway systems are having this feature. The reverting time to the payment page should be quick and look for this factor. Intelligent routing in some gateway Few payment gateways integrate with multiple processors. The benefit of it is that if anyone processor failed it will pass on to another swiftly. Even if one processor is down for some reason you can still use the system. International transactions, dynamic currency changes, etc are not supported by some processors. So in all ways, an intelligent routing is better. Get Free Demo – WhatsApp | Skype Status inquiry in the riders mobile app This happens quite a few times, the fare will be debited from the account but the customer app will not show that the amount is paid. The payments page can be modified to have a status inquiry option to check completed payments. Some gateway system sends notifications quickly to the user and so it is imperative to choose the right payment gateway system. Payment methods for 2020 Debit card services Uber recently launched its Uber debit cards which can be used for all their services. It was an instant hit among its users because of the security features, reliability, ease of use, and instant customer care response. It is easy to tie up with payment companies for your company debit card. Payment commission is nil, quick transaction time, no minimum balance. You can give exciting perks for riders who use your card services like discount for card users, free rides, etc. Code payment This system is somewhat opposite to that of what I explained last; because this technology eliminates the use of typing digits from the debit card. The code payment uses the latest EMV technology. Every time you use card payment, a unique digit is verified every time. But in the EMV technology, payment account is identified with codes and it changes every time a transaction is made. This is highly secure and computerized mode of transaction. Frictionless payment using virtual card Similar to the debit card services, you can have a virtual card embedded to the customer app. This type is called frictionless payment and is predicted to be the no. one payment method in 2020. This frictionless payment using a virtual card follows a two-step process. If the account is already signed in, then payment can be sent in one touch. Amazon, Paypal, and a few more are some companies that currently offer frictionless payment. Final words! If you have the idea of partnering with a development firm for your on-demand taxi app solution, then like I said before, find someone who is well versed with digital payment modules like frictionless payment and code payment system. Generally, the payment module is third-party applications and the skill of a development firm lies in perfectly integrating the right system to the solution. I strongly recommend SpotnRides for your startup. To get more queries and info about SpotnRides, send an mail to hello@spotnrides.com. We are always available at your disposal.

On-Demand Market in Kuwait is Booming. Get an On-Demand Mobile App Solution for your Startup from SpotnRides to Make a Mark in Kuwait Market
Kuwait is a city of business opportunities. Any new business model picks up easily without much effort. Now there is an opportunity to solve a problem using the on-demand Uber model. Per capita consumption of resources is very high in gulf cities. Now we are in an era where it is necessary to indulge in collaborative consumption. Climate change also makes it vital to share resources. Here we can use the aid of on-demand technology for collaborative consumption. The on-demand model also known as the sharing economy has good potential in cities like Kuwait. A city where the carbon footprint is considerably high, on-demand sharing model for transport and delivery will be of much use. Why On-Demand Services Booming in Kuwait? Why on-demand in Kuwait? There is no scarcity of services in Kuwait and so there is no reason to not adopt the on-demand model. Per capita income in Gulf countries stands at $55,000 which is higher than the global average. Hence, on-demand services will be a hit among the people in Gulf cities. Getting funds to launch a tech startup or transform existing business service to the on-demand model is relatively easy in Kuwait. Let us now see some of the services that can work well in Kuwait. This we are listing after a lot of research in consumer behavior, purchasing power, service industry, in Kuwait. Courier and parcel delivery Roads in Kuwait needs a special mention because of the speed in which couriers are delivered to customers. There is a well-connected network in Kuwait for parcel delivery and so there is no issue with the supply chain. This sector can be further expanded and costs can be cut using the Uber for courier model. The traditional courier firms engage delivery persons and separate fleets for delivery. This model is now outdated. In the Uber for courier, third party delivery agents are engaged to receive and deliver parcels. Same day delivery is possible here with minimal cost. No big assets are required for operating Uber for courier startup. Semi-skilled labor can get employment opportunities in Uber for courier business. You can earn a commission for every order. On-demand transportation Now is the right time to enter the Kuwait market using the on-demand taxi startup because the government recently lifted the ban on women from driving cars. The no. of cars per person is high in Kuwait and so the traffic time is substantially high. On-demand taxi like Uber will ease the traveling time for commuters. Traditional taxi firms can be transformed into digitally powered fleet management systems. Individual entrepreneurs can launch an on-demand taxi as a marketplace model. Already Careem and Carpool Arabia are doing good in the on-demand space. There is more scope for long-distance ride-sharing. This is again an online marketplace where car owners share their upcoming trips. Roadside assistance app Tow truck and roadside assistance are a common sight in Kuwait and other gulf cities. This industry itself is making a revenue of a million dollars. At the same time, it also demands a technological change that makes access efficient. This can better be brought under the on-demand model. Any vehicle owners at any point of time and place can book roadside assistance from the app. Like others, it can be operated both as a marketplace and a standalone app. Get Free Demo – WhatsApp | Skype Construction app The present state of Kuwait is because of its construction industry which gave a drastic facelift to it and placed Kuwait among the most important cities in the world. Still, it has a long way to go. More than a quarter workforce in Kuwait is employed in the construction and its related industry. An Uber-like app for construction can change the way it worked so far and can give a complete fillip to it. Construction workers, semi-skilled people, professionals, engineers, architects, and equipment can be accessed through the app. Construction companies can save time and valuable money using this app. You can launch this app as a startup and help companies connect with the service providers and vendors. On-demand Hospitality No one can deny the scale of the tourism sector in Kuwait. Being close to the sea with a lot of luxury hotels and attractive tourist destinations, the need for affordable and quality room is inevitable. Residents of Kuwait can be a part of the tourism sector by sharing extra space by listing on the Uber for room rent app. Airbnb works by the same concept except that they are not well connected in the Gulf cities. So we strongly recommend Uber for the hospitality startup idea. You just need to launch the app solution and get a commission for every room listed and booked. On-demand doctor booking Why spend time on traveling when you can book a doctor from the app and request his visit directly to home? This idea can revolutionize the healthcare of the state mainly in rural areas. There is a special app made for this like Uber. Users just need to download the app; search medical professionals; request a visit, and pay online. As simple as that. Household services Laundry, car wash, house cleaning, lawn care, and many more services are usually outsourced in Kuwait. In this sector, many service providers are not able to efficiently connect with customers. So they end up losing time and money. App-based searching and booking can go a long way in helping the service providers in the household sector. The working concept is similar to that of the Uber model. Other potential on-demand/ sharing services Online food ordering and delivery Online tow truck booking from mobile app Tutor booking Construction equipment and workforce booking on app SpotnRides on-demand app-based solution On-demand app solution consists of a separate interface for each stakeholder.
