On-demand Delivery Apps and Their Role

1. On-demand Delivery Apps and Their Role

2. Introduction Technology has turned the tables on the market for good. Gone are the days when we had to wait for a specific day of the week for our favorite TV series to air. We've also come a long way from going out for Chinese food once a week for dinner to ordering it whenever we want. And public transport? what is it The rise of technology has easily solved many everyday worries. We now have a better lifestyle and the freedom to live as we wish in many aspects. This revolution was only possible because of the advent of the on-demand economy. Simply put, on-demand means getting something we want, when we want it, and where we are. With the help of disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, location-based services, smartphone, and the internet, we can now request products and services right to our doorstep. More than 42% of Americans have used an on-demand service, which translates to more than 87 million. When it comes to service providers in the industry, more than 45 million Americans have offered their services to the industry. Of the 45 million, 51% shared that their lifestyle and financial conditions have significantly improved since the on-demand economy. 2

3. The role of apps in the on-demand economy It wouldn't be unfair to say that the on-demand economy is booming and progressing thanks to mobile apps. If on-demand services have become an inevitable part of our lives in a short period, it is because of the convenience apps offer. To break down the role of apps in the on-demand economy, consider the following: 1. Easy connection between end users and solution providers: Apps have made it easier for businesses to come up with a market-based approach to solving real-world problems. As users search for solutions on one side, apps allow startups to connect them with specific vendors, products, and service providers and get them on demand. It would otherwise be tedious to search for them individually online. 2. Fast and better user interface: Today, on-demand apps have paved the way for a huge user experience. From handmade soaps and custom t-shirts to unique treats and moving trucks, users can view their preferred products and services in detail within their apps and make informed decisions. This would not be possible without a customer-centric approach to On-demand app development. 3

4. 3. Convenient: The applications offer users optimal convenience. When searching for products and services, they can sort and filter search results, read reviews, pay with their digital wallets or cards, and even track their deliveries from a single platform. Apps ensure that customers are always informed. 4. Better personalization of services: By constantly learning about users' tastes and preferences, today's apps can suggest things they're most likely to buy, recommend other TV shows, customize orders, and more. Apps have taken personalization to a whole new level. 4

5. 1. On-demand food delivery app It doesn't matter if we are at work, at a meeting, at a reunion, or a friend's house, the occasion is not complete until we order some good food. Today, on-demand food delivery apps have brought the world closer by allowing users to taste delicacies from around the world in their living rooms. When it comes to food delivery apps, Zomato is an ideal example. Depending on your location, Zomato and similar apps list all available restaurants in your area. You can then choose your preferred restaurant, treat, quantity, and customization details. Once you pay, the restaurant will confirm the order and deliver it to your location. These food delivery apps operate within a certain circle and do not differentiate between small and bulk orders and do not charge service fees accordingly. On-demand food delivery apps are a boon for people who are away from home in a new city due to work demands, those who travel a lot, the elderly, and the generation that doesn't mind paying and is more focused on satisfaction. 5

6. 2. On-demand Entertainment apps We all have Netflix accounts. At least we all know someone who would share their Netflix account. In addition to strengthening human bonds and trust, the on-demand entertainment sector has also exposed us to a whole new world of entertainment that we barely knew existed. While regional TV programs or movies used to be our choice (due to lack of access to other content), we now tune in to programs from around the world. Now we watch documentaries about famous people from all over the world, about space, the underground, climate and everything you can think of. The best part is that we don't even have to wait for the next episode to air. Binge-watching is a trend where you could watch an entire season in one night. Like food delivery apps, on-demand entertainment apps run on excellent recommendation engines. This is one of their key secrets to customer retention. As a trivia note, Netflix came up with House of Cards based on data science and user preferences and tastes. 6

7. 3. On-demand grocery app Yes, technology has also affected grocery shopping. In our hectic schedule, we don't have time to take care of ourselves. Grocery shopping is still far-fetched. Companies like Agorah have figured out that this is a problem that can easily be solved with an app. Apps like Agohra connect users with partners who could buy groceries for them for a price. All users have to do is select items, create a list, and share it with coworkers. They would then bid on the list and the user could choose to who they were going to have their groceries delivered. Once done, the user pays and an associate delivers the groceries to the user's door. 7

8. 4. On-demand home service app One of the other pain points companies noticed was in the home services sector. While purchasing household products was easy, using services was difficult. From plumbing and furniture repairs to pest control and electrical services, finding a reliable service provider has always been a daunting task. With the on-demand home service solution, this problem is also solved. Many individual service providers register on these marketplaces and generate leads. Again, based on location services, they get the details of the house or office they need to provide their services and reach them in time. These apps also offer to track and control features to ensure greater transparency in service delivery. 8

9. 5. On-demand Transportation apps Lyft or Uber users? These on-demand transport services have tackled the fixed pricing mechanisms that private rickshaws and taxis operated with, with their different level of transparency. They also brought an element of professionalism among the drivers and ensured a hassle-free entire journey to reach point B from point A. Today, there are even ride-sharing services that offer cab-on-demand solutions to further save and help reduce fuel consumption. 9

10. Wrapping up If you notice, the on-demand economy is an industry unto itself, with subsets of smaller industries that operate under it. It has not only created employment opportunities for millions but also made life easier for billions out there. Considering the booming scenario of the on-demand sector, if you intend to get an on-demand application developed, we say now is the right time. At Moon Technolabs, we successfully develop and deploy stable and reliable on-demand applications that change people's lives. If you're playing, we're ready to discuss your next big idea.
