MyProviders — shopping app for utilities & insurance
App that was developed by Paralect to setup utilities quiclkyApp that was developed by Paralect to help people move quiclky
Idea
The original idea was to help people who move to new apartments set up their utilities quickly.
MyProviders™ simplifies this hassle by presenting all the utility plans in one app.
Residents only need to fill out one form to sign up and activate the utilities they need. The app constantly updates plans to show the current offers so people can select the right services for their budget.

The goal was to build MyProviders as a two-sided marketplace so lease agents could easily track resident's utilities status and customize requirements based on property policies.
New residents need to set up about six utilities — from gas and electric to TV 📺 and internet 🌐. Each service provider has their own site and people have to visit each one, enter the same info on different forms, and spend a lot of time.
MVP
The MVP version was released to a staging environment in May 2018 after 3 months of development 🛠️.
It included Manager and Resident sites and supported web, tablet and mobile versions. The Resident site allowed the activation of utilities and the Manager site gave the opportunity to add and manage properties, units and residents.

The utility industry is highly regulated, even at a local level, so this new solution faced several legal hurdles. These were successfully resolved and the app was released🚀.
MyProviders was the first utilities marketplace of its kind on the US market 💫!
