A technology-enabled marketplace connecting customers and service providers — bookings, availability, payments, notifications and a mobile experience.
Vacay Sitters is a marketplace concept connecting customers with service providers. Marketplaces carry a specific set of technical problems beyond a typical website: matching supply and demand, managing availability in real time, handling bookings and payments, keeping both sides informed, and doing all of it through a mobile experience people will actually use.
The problem space:
Two-sided marketplace mechanics — customers and providers
Booking and availability management
Payments between parties
Notifications and communication
A mobile-first experience for both sides of the platform
We’ll publish the full build details and outcomes here as the platform progresses.
