Scheduling And Communicating With Freelancers
Became Easy
KrewCal is the first portal for “Freelancer Technicians and Management”
network. Management can post jobs for their company and invite
freelancers for the jobs. Production Company (website only) can create the profile of management and
pay for each profile online.
The Challenge
The technological world is skyrocketing with a fast pace and in such cohesively snowballing marketplace hiring the resource at the peak time becomes extremely perspiring. Krewcal founder Lawrence Caputo conceptualized a system that would disrupt the staggering recruitment industry. He came up with a notion of swiftly connecting freelancers (categorized by their knack) with the management seeking them
Client Goals
At Codiant, Our design team spearheads the process with the discovery phase, and this project was no different. The goals for our initial discovery session were three-fold:
- understand the client’s business goals
- define and streamline the core functionality of the app
- map and detail the user’s experience
Following a considerable number of requirement gathering sessions as well as tete-a-tete with our client, we were able to understand the “pain points” of the management, and also how we felt a closed communication network could help break down the silos and facilitate better cross-departmental freelancer’s collaboration.
Wireframes
Once we finalized the ideation process and had a clear idea of what we have to design, we started creating wireframes to make the functionality of every section in the app clearer. At first blush, with only minor tweaks on layout and information architecture, we finalized the design and structure.
Networking For Connecting
Check out the design elements that ensures a tighter integration with user
experience. The seamless user flow enables users to find people,
Services, Events, Blogs, Projects and everything in line in just a few taps.
Development
Our fully automated build, test, and deploy process creates a tight feedback loop between
development and QA
so that changes can be made rapidly. The
inception of the development, kicked off by building a system with
four separate user roles viz Admin, Production, Management,
Freelancers. As a next step, they were met with a
multitude of
challenges, most notably:
- Search Freelancers Based on Skills
- Implementing Geolocation
- Check in Based on Geolocation
- Scheduling Jobs on Calendar
- Adding Payment Gateways
