On demand services are the latest trend to hit the market with mobile apps in the space of a few years. With the advent of these new and exciting Uber business model apps, consumers can essentially get anything run, completed, delivered, taken or sent with the click of a button. This is especially useful for those of us who work 9-5 jobs or live in densely populated cities; where running errands after work can become a task when we’re tired and stuck in traffic. We’ve compiled a list of some the latest and greatest on demand apps and how they’re making our lives a lot less stressful.

1. Laundry Run

LaundryRun launched its on demand services in Melbourne aiming to raise millions in funding like similar on demand startups have. The business partners its service with dry cleaners to pick up or drop off people’s laundry at no extra fee. The service currently runs online with a view to launching an app soon. Their service is aimed at busy mums and dads who have little time to do the washing. This is due to the struggle in managing their working lives and picking up children. Pick ups & deliveries happen on Monday and Wednesday from 6-10pm. This startup promises to make the laundry chore a thing of the past.

2. TidyMe

TidyMe is another fresh entrant into the on demand services industry raising over $750,000 in venture capital. The Sydney service, links customers with cleaners.

Within a year their team has managed to build up its network of local cleaners and developed its client base to more 200 homes to date, pretty impressive!

3. LiquorRun

LiquorRun is taking advantage of the Sydney food & beverage delivery market with its on demand services app. The app nitially launched in Melbourne, has now rolled in Sydney with its business model largely built on beer and getting that beer to the consumer as quickly as possible. Whilst being a predominantly beer-centric service, it has since expanded to include: cigarettes, wine & fast food.
