Project Summary

Good Life Sorted hired Apiko to build a Java-based elderly care marketplace consisting of three systems: a customer-facing request system, a helper portal (web and mobile), and an admin platform. Apiko handled front- and backend development, database management, and UX/UI design and continues to provide support and maintenance. Since Apiko's involvement sales grew substantially, with the client reporting a 650% increase.

Key Challenges

Need to scale to manage hundreds of helpers and customers
Requirement for a robust marketplace platform to handle scheduling, invoicing (VAT) and complex admin workflows

Project Deliverables

Customer web portal for submitting requests and viewing helper profiles
Helper web portal for profile and visit management
Mobile app for helpers
Admin dashboard for management and invoicing
Backend, database, and UX/UI design

Project Solution

Apiko developed three integrated systems: a customer-facing web portal for submitting help requests and viewing helper profiles; a helper portal (web) and companion mobile app for helpers to create profiles, manage visits and view resources; and a heavy admin backend for scheduling, invoicing (including VAT handling) and overall management. They delivered front-end and back-end development, database management, UX/UI design, and provide ongoing support and maintenance.

Sales increased 650% since June

Quality of Deliverables

“Since Apiko was brought on six months ago, sales are up 650% — especially impressive given COVID-19. Their team is kind, caring, and communicative. Apiko tries to create a partnership, making them feel as if they were a part of the in house team.”
