How can you support local businesses and get the best home services at the same time? This app was created just for that!
Giggo, a local home services app in Chicago, Illinois, announces its latest iteration. The app connects Chicagoans with local small to medium-sized businesses for a variety of services, including laundry and cleaning, among others.
Download it at Giggo's Apple App Store landing page.
The latest iteration improves usability and functionality. Now, you can easily find a local business, book a service for the same day, and receive real-time notifications on where your providers are. If the service provider does not confirm the appointment within two hours, the app allows you to cancel the booking.
This gives a more seamless experience for you. The goal of the app is to support local businesses while adapting to national guidelines to limit social gatherings.
Giggo is an online marketplace for various home services, whether that is home cleaning, laundry, or landscaping. Graeme Gates, the founder of Giggo, says that the app offers a convenient solution for customers looking for a safe way to connect to local businesses.
The app offers several new safety features. One such feature is the contractor code generator, which gives a unique code that is sent to both you and your chosen contractor to verify identity. You can ask the contractor to present the code before allowing them inside your home.
Another safety feature is the strengthened in-house payment option. To limit the use of physical cash, you can pay your contractor using Giggo’s online payment channel after the service has been completed.
Still, Giggo is intended to support local businesses with their visibility and revenue flow. Gates emphasizes that the app does not charge any lead-generating fees, unlike its competitors. This allows SMBs to connect directly with potential clients at no extra cost.
The app also provides instant payments, even on weekends and holidays. This means that local businesses can receive immediate cash flow once clients send their payments. This feature was included to help more companies pay their employees on time.
While Giggo is currently focused on Chicago, there are plans to expand to other cities in the state soon.
