About the Client
Transforming Home Maintenance & Improvement
Tapin Home Services is a Nashville-based company on a mission to make homeownership easier, more affordable, and stress-free through reliable service and smart technology integration. They believe every homeowner deserves quick access to skilled professionals who genuinely care about quality work and customer satisfaction.
With a team of licensed, background-checked experts specializing in everything from handyman repairs and installations to full home renovations and smart home upgrades, Tapin needed a comprehensive digital platform that could connect homeowners with their skilled professionals seamlessly. Their vision was to create an on-demand home services experience where customers could "tap in" to get quality work done right, backed by technology that simplifies booking, scheduling, and project management.
Our Challenge
Building an On-Demand Service Ecosystem
Creating a platform that could handle diverse home services—from simple repairs to complex renovations and smart home installations—while maintaining consistent booking workflows and quality standards across all service categories.
Building an intelligent scheduling and dispatch system that could match customer requests with available, qualified professionals based on skills, location, and availability in real-time for optimal service delivery.
Developing a mobile-first experience that empowers homeowners to easily request services, track technician arrival, communicate about projects, and manage payments—all from their smartphones with minimal friction.
The Process
From Vision to Reality
Discovery & Market Research
We studied the home services industry in Nashville, analyzing competitor platforms and identifying pain points that homeowners face when seeking reliable contractors. We interviewed Tapin's team and potential customers to understand their expectations, focusing on trust, transparency, and convenience as key differentiators in the crowded home services market.
Platform Architecture & UX Design
We designed a dual-sided marketplace architecture serving both homeowners and service professionals. The system was architected to support real-time booking, intelligent job matching, GPS tracking, secure payments, and multi-channel communication. User experience research guided our mobile-first design approach, ensuring intuitive navigation for users of all technical abilities.
Development & Integration
Our development team built a comprehensive platform with advanced features including real-time GPS tracking, automated scheduling algorithms, instant messaging, photo documentation, payment processing, and review systems. We integrated smart home technology APIs to support their smart home upgrade services and created professional dashboards for technicians to manage their schedules and customer interactions.
Testing & Quality Assurance
We conducted extensive beta testing with real customers and Tapin's technicians in Nashville. This included testing various service scenarios—from emergency repairs to scheduled renovations—to ensure the platform performed reliably under different conditions. Security audits verified that customer data and payment information were properly protected, while performance testing ensured fast load times even during peak booking periods.
Launch & Continuous Improvement
Following successful deployment in Nashville, we monitored platform performance and user behavior closely. Regular updates enhanced functionality based on customer feedback, added new service categories as Tapin expanded their offerings, and optimized the matching algorithm to improve response times and customer satisfaction ratings.

Seamless Booking & Scheduling Experience
Homeowners can browse services, get instant price estimates, and book appointments in just a few taps. The platform offers flexible scheduling options including same-day emergency service, next-day appointments, or future bookings weeks in advance. Customers can specify their availability preferences and the system automatically matches them with qualified technicians.
The intelligent scheduling algorithm considers technician location, skillset, availability, and customer preferences to optimize routing and minimize wait times. Automated reminders via SMS and email keep customers informed about upcoming appointments, while easy rescheduling options provide flexibility when plans change.
Real-Time Tracking & Communication
Once a service is booked, customers can track their technician's location in real-time on an interactive map, similar to ride-sharing apps. The platform provides accurate ETAs and sends notifications when the technician is on the way and when they've arrived, eliminating the frustration of waiting windows.
Built-in messaging allows direct communication between customers and technicians for clarifying details, sharing photos of issues, or discussing project scope. The system maintains a complete history of all interactions, ensuring accountability and providing reference material for warranty claims or follow-up service needs.
Smart Home Integration & Project Management
For smart home upgrade services, the platform integrates with popular smart home ecosystems, allowing technicians to configure and test devices during installation. Customers receive detailed setup guides and can access technical support through the app for post-installation assistance.
Larger renovation projects benefit from project management tools including milestone tracking, progress photos, change order management, and digital signatures for approvals. Transparent pricing breakdowns and payment schedules give homeowners complete visibility into project costs, while the review system ensures quality standards are maintained throughout.
