Development of a Cross-Platform Lifestyle Service Booking Mobile Application with Video, Chat, and Secure Payment Integration

The client’s existing web platform, serving multiple lifestyle industries, faced limitations in engaging users and attracting new clients. They required a mobile solution that offers high performance, seamless native-like experience, and robust communication features—such as video calls and chats—while maintaining security and performance on low-end devices. They also needed integrated, fraud-protected payment systems and native module support like maps and cameras, which are traditionally challenging in cross-platform development.

A technology-driven platform provider offering booking services across various lifestyle sectors including fitness, styling, food, and talent, aiming to enhance user experience through mobile solutions.

• Develop a secure, high-performance cross-platform mobile application compatible with iOS and Android.
• Enable users to interview service providers via high-quality, smooth video calls and chat messaging.
• Integrate a trusted payment system supporting credit card and in-app purchases for transparent and fraud-protected transactions.
• Implement filtering options for services based on type, location, price, provider ratings, and other criteria.
• Overcome native module limitations in a cross-platform environment, ensuring reliable operation of maps, cameras, and location services.

The new mobile platform aims to deliver an efficient, secure, and user-friendly booking experience for clients and service providers. It is expected to attract new users, increase engagement through seamless communication features, and enable secure transactions, ultimately driving higher service bookings and customer satisfaction. Based on previous implementations, the project anticipates reducing development time and costs compared to native app solutions, while maintaining high performance and native-like user experience.
