Our take
Everybody needs household services at some point whether it is for the occasional moving day or weekly cleaning, but it can be difficult to find a local serviceman. Advertisements are everywhere online and in paper formats, but there is usually no way to verify the competence or good-natured intentions of the worker.
Helpling provides an online marketplace for finding local cleaners, gardeners, constructors, and other workers, allowing users to book on-demand help from their smartphones. Prices and ratings allow users to search for workers that fit their preferences whilst helping provide positive reputations for successful workers, and Helpling provides liability and theft insurance to ensure that all services are conducted safely and legitimately.
Whilst various other local service marketplaces are tackling similar challenges, Helpling has an unmatched scale in the industry, with verified workers and services operating in ten different countries. Furthermore, the combination of an easy-to-use mobile application, quality control, and insurance encourages users to migrate away from the minefield of informal advertisements and towards a regulated and formal framework for home services.
