PROJECT OVERVIEW

Alb Connect is a location-based app that links people with local businesses, services, and community groups. It uses AI to match service requests with the right providers, offers tools for events and discussions, and includes a web-based admin panel for full control and analytics to improve local engagement and business growth.

Idea Inception

Our client wanted a single platform where people could find trusted local services and also interact within interest-based communities. Existing apps either focused on service discovery or on community engagement, but none offered both in one system. Alb Connect was designed to bring these features together, supported by AI matchmaking and robust moderation tools.

Strategic Objectives

1. Build a secure platform for users, businesses, and admins.

2. Enable quick OTP-based registration for all accounts.

3. Provide location-based search and discovery for services and communities.

4. Use AI-driven algorithms to match user queries with relevant businesses.

5. Allow businesses to manage profiles, list services, and handle subscriptions.

6. Give admins complete control over users, businesses, content, and payments.

7. Support events, forums, and resource sharing within communities.

8. Offer detailed analytics and exportable reports.

9. Include multilingual support for wider accessibility.

10. Keep the app fast and reliable on web and mobile.

Our Approach

For users

We built a quick sign-up with email, phone, or social accounts, secured by OTP verification. They can join communities by location, category, or interest. Posting queries triggers AI to suggest relevant businesses. Services can be explored in map or list view with filters and bookmarks. Users can chat with businesses, join events, share resources, and leave reviews.

For businesses

We created an app to set up profiles with descriptions, pricing, media, and location tags. They can choose subscription plans, access trial periods, and manage renewals. Businesses can reply to queries, manage reviews, and chat directly with customers.

For admins

We developed a web panel to manage users and businesses with verification tools. It supports content moderation, subscription and payment management, community oversight, and performance tracking with analytics and CSV exports.

Combines service discovery with full community engagement tools.

AI-powered service matchmaking for faster, more relevant results.

Separate apps for users and businesses.

Challenges & Solutions

1. Location Search Performance : Large datasets slowed
search results.

Solution: Implemented geo-indexing in MongoDB and optimized queries with bounding-box filters for quicker map rendering.

2. Matching Accuracy : AI suggestions sometimes return irrelevant businesses.

Solution: Enhanced the recommendation model with contextual filters, query categorization, and historical engagement data for more accurate matches.

3. Business Verification : Risk of unverified or fake businesses

Solution: Introduced mandatory document verification and admin approval before profiles became visible.

4. Safe Community Spaces : Forums and chats require real-time moderation.

Solution: Enhanced the recommendation model with contextual filters, query categorization, and historical engagement data for more accurate matches.

Launch your own community and service
platform with smart matching.
