Challenge	Matthew Dykema, the founder of Crowify, was faced with the challenge of the rising unemployment rates due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He observed that many people were out of work and needed a platform to connect with potential customers. On the other hand, customers were also in need of a platform where they could easily find and hire service providers in their local areas. The challenge was to create a platform that could bridge this gap and provide a solution for both service providers and customers. Matthew, who hails from a small farmer's town in Michigan, had a background in technology and had developed websites on multiple platforms such as WordPress, durple, squarespace, wix, and Shopify. He wanted to leverage his skills to build a platform that could help people affected by the pandemic. Read More
About Customer	The customers of Crowify are both service providers and people seeking services. The service providers, referred to as 'prosters', are professionals looking to offer their services to local customers. They could be offering any of the over 300 different services listed on the platform, ranging from handyman services to piano lessons. On the other hand, the customers seeking services, referred to as 'gigsters', are individuals or businesses looking for professional services in their local areas. They provide details about their requirements, including budget, time and date, location, project details, and photos, which are used to match them with the perfect service provider. Read More
Solution	Matthew decided to build Crowify, a two-sided marketplace that connects customers to service providers in their local areas. The platform was built using Bubble, a no-code platform that provided all the features needed to create the workflows for Crowify. The platform has two sides - a 'gigster' who is a customer seeking professional services, and a 'proster' who is a service provider looking to offer services to local customers. When a gigster arrives on the platform in search of a service, Crowify provides them with over 300 different services to choose from. Once the service is selected, the gig begins. The gigster provides details on the budget, time and date, location, project details, and photos about what their perfect gig would entail. These details are used to match the perfect service provider. Crowify prosters are service-providing professionals seeking to make income. Once the user signs up as a proster, the service professional provides their own history and work experience details, upload photos of past projects, and provides their company details. Once a gig is created, Crowify algorithms match the Gig to a local service provider with over 150 different data points. If there is no direct match, the gig will be listed on the Crowify marketplace for service providers to pick up. Read More Log in to view content
