WicWac is a platform that connects consumers with in-home service providers, offering a convenient and seamless experience from booking to payment. Our app simplifies the process of finding and hiring local businesses for a wide range of services, including home repairs, health providers, pet care, and more. For service providers, WicWac provides the benefits of having their own app without the need for time-consuming and costly development. With no monthly fees, WicWac aims to build a strong community and serve its purpose of connecting consumers and service providers.
The main goal of this project is to compile a comprehensive list of service providers and in the students' city, community, and area, as well as vocational training providers. The students will be responsible for conducting market research, including outreach activities to engage service providers and demonstrate the benefits of joining the WicWac platform. Additionally, the students will identify key stakeholders within vocational schools responsible for partnerships and procurement.
