Swiff
Project Brief
The Swiff app is a New Zealand based mobile marketplace for service providers. The app enables users to search for local service providers in their area and connect with them via an in-app profile. The app uses location services to help the user find the nearby businesses, categorized according to the type of service they provide.
Professionals and service provider businesses can also sign up on the app, helping them to connect with customers directly. All the important details such as business type, contact information and area of operation can be added with each business profile in the app. The app has been built using React Native and AWS Simple Email Service has been employed for emails.

Case Study
Set Up Your Business: Local businesses and service providers can make a business account on the app. As shown, there are various parameters to capture business information from the user such as Business name, Business type and City of operation.
A number of business categories have been given for the service providers, to make the searchability easier for service seekers.
Agent Sign Up : Similarly, agents can also sign up on the app and easily choose the predefined categories for the relevant services matching their job role with the business. They can even make a new business account and enroll under it.
On boarding When a user downloads the app, they get to choose what kind of account they wish to make for themselves.
The service provider sign up and the customer sign up is enabled through the same app. The initial screen provides an option to do so, hence increasing the usability of the app. Unlike other e-convenience apps, Swiff uses the same app for the customer and service provider profiles.
