User Flow for Main Features in Kerjakan App for Job-Seekers and Service-Seeker.

Inspiration

Indonesia is a country with the best tourism and hospitality services in South East Asia. Ever since the pandemic happened, these economic power are now considered non-essential, and are restricted to perform and move our economy, resulting in thousands of unemployment, and bankruptcy. People who enjoy those services are also impacted as the service's availability is declined.

We want to help those workforces to use their skills and work, by connecting those who need their skills directly to them, helping them to get on their feet as soon as possible, all while facing this pandemic. The skill-sets of people working in Tourism, Leisure, and Hospitality sectors are both general (i.e: cleaning, house-keeping, sanitation) and specialized (i.e spa, beauty, pet-grooming) so we make this app for general workers, but caters specially for their need.

We believe that every work is essential, to the community, and the economy.

What it does

A digital platform that connects Job-Seekers and Service-Seekers, or Costumer. It is a place for people with skills to offer what they can do, and for people who want the convenience to get their needs fulfilled.

Job seekers can look for jobs that are nearby to their location, and one that suits their general or specific skillsets. This app will also help them by making it easier for them to be discovered by the consumer.

Service-Seekers can see all the variants of services that are available near them and contact them right away if they want to. They can also make an open vacancy to select the best workers out there that suit his needs and preferences.

How I built it

Design : The design process started in creating the concept of the app and defining problems, and types of users. Wireframing and low fidelity in Figma, developing the visual style based on user preference and demographic in forms of color scheme, illustrations, typography, and iconset. We apply the visuals into high-fidelity UI design.

Development : Kerjakan was built using Flutter, a UI Multiplatform Toolkit Platform. Technologies used in this application are Firebase Google Sign In for authentication, GraphQL Hasura for Backend Development, Flutter Map for Map Engine, and Provider Pattern is used for the design Pattern.

Challenges I ran into

Ideation: Balancing the app design between segmented or general use. The initial plan was to create a general job-seeking platform. We found out the impact of this issue towards a specific industry and later decided to keep both ideas while highlighting the user impacted the most, people in tourism industries.

Development: Adjusting the display in multi-platform for both iOS and Android using Flutter (Adaptive Look). Managing Data using Graphqg Hasura.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We succeeded in developing Kerjakan using Flutter and Hasura GraphQL, where developing UI becomes easier, helpful, and multi-platform instantly. Using Hasura GraphQL made the data management easier, and implementing routes easier.

What I learned

Through Flutter, I learned how to implement unique, interactive, and adaptive UI design. I also learn how to manage data using Hasura GraphQL.

What's next for kerjakan

We hope this application can help people to get back to work and move the economy as soon as possible, and bring Indonesia to the top of SEA Tourism, Hospitality, and Leisure sector once again.
