Abstract:

In the recent years, especially after covid-19 became a thing, people started finding information about Retail On- Demand Services online rather than relying on local contacts. This makes it a lot easier for people to find and book services online, rather than going out and booking them in person. So, a Django-based Web application with a real time database deployed on cloud that provides details of some service providers (Carpenters, Electricians etc.) in region of Kanuru (Vijayawada, India) has been designed. Data are collected from multiple sources using a scraping code that Beautiful Soup framework is used and stored in PostgreSQL database that is later deployed on Cloud platforms. This helps people from this region to access information quickly and help them book these On-Demand Services Faster.

I. Introduction

Getting information related to On-Demand services from the internet is now the go-to method for most of people these days, especially after covid-19 struck like lightning, and it's a good thing as it helps gathering information quicker and a lot easier rather than relying on local contacts. There are a lot of sources on the internet from which you can gather this information but it might become a hectic process for a lot of people. It is easier for a lot of people to access information quicker from a single source rather than trying to find it from multiple sources [3]. For this purpose, a web application which can help people from at least Kanuru Region to access real time information about on-demand services from multiple sources easily just from one single site is developed. Four services are focussed for now - Carpenters, Electricians, Plumbers and Pest-Control Services. Ease of accessing information is one of the key points for a project to strive. It is kind of hard to locally gather contacts of service providers in pandemic and quite tiresome as well. With the emergence of cloud technologies and people getting accustomed to internet sources for information, web application seemed to be the best approach towards this problem [4].
