Why the World Needs Pigybak

At pigybak, we firmly believe in the power of communities and the importance of supporting one another. While on the surface, pigybak may appear to be just another home improvement application, it is so much more than that. As the founder, I am deeply passionate about highlighting the aspects that make pigybak unique and inspiring. With our launch day fast approaching, I hope to share my excitement and enthusiasm with you through this blog post.

Supporting Small Businesses:

With a personal connection to tradespeople in my family and close circle of friends, I am well aware of the challenges they face. Finding reliable clients can be a struggle, and achieving a healthy work-life balance is particularly difficult for small business owners. At pigybak, we address these issues by grouping jobs in close proximity, minimizing commute times, and allowing two-way ratings for improved client-tradesperson interactions. By enabling more efficient scheduling, we help tradespeople spend less time away from their families and maintain a smoother workflow.

Environmental Sustainability:

Sustainability lies at the heart of pigybak. As an avid thrifter myself, I prioritize eco-friendly practices. We actively contribute to environmental preservation by reducing emissions through our core feature of optimizing travel distances. Moreover, we incentivize contractors to adopt sustainable practices by awarding badges. Additionally, pigybak minimizes paper waste by enabling local marketing through automated, word-of-mouth recommendations, eliminating the need for traditional junk mail. Our app design is also energy-efficient, with streamlined features and minimal content to reduce energy consumption.

Community Enhancement:

pigybak serves as a bridge between cities and citizens, enriching communities in various ways. For instance, we provide service schedules within the app, ensuring homeowners are informed about local initiatives such as leaf pickup. Furthermore, pigybak facilitates coordination for large-scale projects, whether it’s revitalizing a city or aiding in disaster recovery efforts. As a commitment to community support, pigybak donates 5% of its revenue to nonprofit partners like One Step Ahead Ohio, empowering local trades and fostering community outreach.

Promoting Equity:

At pigybak, we champion diversity and inclusivity. We offer a platform for minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses to showcase their badges on their rating pages, providing them with increased visibility and opportunities. Our app design also takes into consideration the needs of visually impaired individuals, incorporating colorblind-friendly colors and maintaining a minimum font size of 10 within the app. Additionally, we strive to maintain fairness in our pricing model, avoiding excessive fees or high percentages of sales for contractors. In the near future, we plan to release a Spanish version of the app to cater to non-English speakers.
