1 - Predictable large-scale usage patterns
You must be able to predict usage and patterns, especially if you rely on a model of contractors. Using Uber and Lyst as examples, we know that around 5 pm there will be a surge in demand (and price).

2 - It’s a service with a repeat need
If your on demand service is a one-time thing, it’s not going to succeed. How many times in your life will you need movers on-demand? Not too many. But with Taskrabbit, you can request people with different skills on demand, and that could include movers.

Many on-demand apps are trying to fill the gap between a trustworthy supplier and a buyer. The middle man can facilitate the transaction and connect buyers and sellers with greater efficiency.

4 - Supplier and customer can communicate with ease and in real-time
Every successful on-demand app MUST make it easy for supplier and customer to communicate with each other. If you can’t reach your driver, taskrabbiter, or postmate, the greater the chance of transaction failure.
Your app satisfies the 4 crucial points above and now your business is booming! But is the job done?
PROTECTING USER IDENTITY
With real-time communication comes the concern for privacy, and it is the on-demand app’s job to protect both buyer and service provider’s
personal information. There are a number of solutions apps can use to ensure user’s personal phone numbers are protected:
1 - Phone to Phone Calling 2 - App to Phone Calling
3 - App to App Calling
User is moved to native dialer when
clicks to call
PHONE TO PHONE CALLING
PHONE TO PHONE: THE BACKEND
APP TO PHONE CALLING
Driver receives call on native phone dialer
User calls driver in-app
APP TO PHONE: THE BACKEND
APP TO APP CALLING
Call are both made and received in-app for a streamlined UX
APP TO APP: THE BACKEND
ON DEMAND SUCCESS!
