What was the business need?
The Time Bank brings together people willing to help. Users use their skills and time to help others and in return get paid in the form of… time.
Such an initiative was born out of the need for integration, strengthening ties in communities and just the desire to help.
What was the challenge?
- Include all task dependencies that the user may want to perform.
- Simultaneous operation of the user in the two roles of contractor and principal without switching roles.
- Implementation of the application in a new language.
- Introducing the app to the stores – responsive application.
How did we do it?
The person we contact to exchange time does not have to be previously known to us. The contact between users is mediated by the Time Bank application.
The way the app works is simple: people willing to share their knowledge, skills or simply their company (going out for coffee, to the movies or finding a partner for a wedding) fill out a form and can start using the app.
It is very important to remember that any work done is equal to each other. The hour a plumber spends fixing a faucet is equal to an hour of English tutoring.
Among the Time Bank’s services, users have a really wide field to choose from: from repair work, weeding the garden, school tutoring, to legal advice, to going to the movies together, or workshops on songwriting and guitar playing.
