On-Demand Home Service We asked ourselves a simple question: "Why can't we book and buy local services online, just like we order and buy products online?" We knew that if we could find a way, we could fundamentally change the way the world buys local services forever. Today, we buy local services (think: plumbing, air conditioning, handyman, carpet cleaning, appliance repair) pretty much the same way our grandparents did, using a directory. It is true there are search engines and review sites, but even after spending hours scanning results and reading reviews, we still have to check references, call around to compare prices and to schedule a time for an appointment, and then give up half a day waiting for the technician to arrive. When the technician finally shows up to do the work, we are presented with a bill that is usually a complete surprise, and trying to get someone to come back to fix something requires even more work (assuming they return our calls at all). Needless to say, the current process is broken. The good news is that we have spent a lot of time figuring out how to do it better. We looked at every part of the current process and tried to improve on each step. We call it SERVIZ - a faster, easier, revolutionary way to book and buy local services online.
