How enriching an existing app with a tenant screening feature and integration with social media enabled users to find roommates with similar interests and even mutual friends and allowed a US startup to leapfrog their competitors.
The company provides their customers with the ability to find potential roommates, whether they have a room, are looking for a vacant room or want to go in with someone to search for a new apartment. A proprietary algorithm will match the user personality, lifestyle and preferences with other roommate prospects and then will display personalized best matches.
The customer asked for few small adjustments on the website and the implementation of one big feature – tenant screening.
We were requested to:
For users:
Find out if you have mutual friends on Facebook
Review a questionnaire about a potential roommate before renting
Find roommates that meet your interests
Invite your friends through an email, Facebook, SMS, WhatsApp or personal URL link
For service:
Tenant screening is a feature that allows the user to check potential roommates before renting. It was realized as an independent function on the website. Thanks to this feature, the company receives income from every request for a tenant screening report.
There is an auto-update on the MailChimp list when the user signs up, deletes or deactivates his/her profile on Diggz.
If the user has not registered on Facebook, he/she can log in to Facebook for account verification only.
