Dhaw is a Saudi Arabia-based on-demand photographer app, but it is available for worldwide photographers and users. Considered as an app like Uber for photographers, Dhaw is an easy to use photographer booking app, allowing customers to book professional photographers for different events like wedding, product-launch, real estate photography, portrait photography and other events.
Using this uber for photography app, customers can look for professional photographers along with their portfolios, charges, expertise, total experience and other required information. In short, Dhaw is the complete on-demand solution, including the customer’s app, the photographer’s app, and the business website. One of the most unique features of this photography app solution is connecting photographers and customers from across the world.
Based in Saudi Arabia, our client is a professional photographer and has worked with National Geographic as a photographer. Being a photographer for the past 8 years, he was facing problems in managing bookings, earning records, work portfolios, and packages for different events. With such problems, he was not able to respond to all the requests from customers.
Then, he realized that all the photographers across the world might be facing the same problems when it comes to managing bookings, earnings, work portfolio, and other things related to the photography business.
Realizing this problem, our client decided to develop one such online platform where photographers can manage everything from bookings to earnings, new requests to on-going bookings, portfolio, and packages.
To develop one such online platform, our client started looking for a mobile app development company that has experience in developing such a platform. While searching on Google, our client found our website and landed on our mobile app development page. In fact, he also reviewed our portfolio and was impressed by our work, so he contacted us and shared his requirements.
When our sales representative studied and analyzed our client’s requirements, he instantly understood it because we, at Space-O Technologies, have already developed one such platform for photographers and customers to connect in real-time. So, our sales representative did not take much time to understand our client’s requirements.
As per his needs, our business team prepared a WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) document to give a structural view of the entire project. We suggest our client develop an on-demand solution, including the customer’s app, the photographer’s app and the backend website.
Using this on-demand photographer app, professional photographers and customers can get in touch and communicate pricing, dates, and other things to hire a photographer. Whether users own an Android phone or carrying an iPhone, this hire a photographer app works smoothly on both the platforms.
The photographer app for customers comes with a simple sign-up process to make it easy for users to sign-up, filling required details and verifying the mobile numbers. Once the user sign-up in the app, he/she can log in using an email-id/mobile number and password.
The customer’s app for hiring a photographer allows users to check all the listed photographers in one place. Users can easily find all the listed photographers along with information like total experience, work portfolio, previous clients, cost and other required information.

Once the photographer signed-up with the app, he can create a complete profile, including all the required information like total years of experience, expertise, work portfolio and maintain it on a daily basis.
Once photographers created their profile, it’s time to manage different packages in the photography app solution. As per their rates and expertise, photographers can create different packages to meet their customers’ requirements.
Photographers can manage all their booking requests whether it is new, unchecked or cancelled requests. They can check and take action accordingly.
This on-demand photographer app allows photographers to keep a track of all the earnings, including total, received, and outstanding. Photographers can manage all earnings and make a report by week, month and year.

Apart from photographers, the admin can manage all the customers, checking their profile, requirements, budget and created requests. Moreover, the admin can manage old and new customers with their information.
Admin can create manual bookings for multiple dates. From the app, only single day booking is allowed, but the admin can create multiple bookings from the panel. In fact, he can view all the bookings like active, completed, cancelled, expired and disputed.
The admin panel of an on-demand app solution for photographers allows admin to create reports on the total number of deals, earnings, customers and photographers by month, quarterly and yearly.

Looking to Develop an On-demand Booking App?
Confused about whether your idea will work or not? Not sure how much it will cost? Let’s talk and validate your idea.
While developing photographers on-demand solution, our mobile app development team did not face any major issue because we have already developed one such on-demand photographer app solution, so our team knows what it requires to develop the best photographer app for customers and photographers.
Our assigned mobile app developers faced one small issue in managing instant payment mode in Payfort because it was the new mode of payment in Payfort. However, our team spent some time researching this gateway and in the end, our team solved this issue. Another small change that our team made during post live was Twilio OTP as it did not work well for Saudi numbers; therefore, our team changed it to Firebase OTP.

Appreciation from Clients
Steve

I would like to thank the entire Space-O team for helping us with our photo editing app. We have been working with other developing teams before, and we were able to find Space-O. And all the other developers failed to deliver all great working apps for us. Space-O helped to design the app in a very user-friendly way. They helped us to navigate solutions for the app. And overall went above and beyond with our request.
Olivia Grande

This was the first app I’ve ever developed and they been extremely helpful every step of the way, answering questions, writing recommendations, and tips. If you’re looking for a high-quality app, definitely go with Space-O technologies.

When we started 2 years ago, the main struggle was to find the right developing team, because the problem was we were all quite demanding in terms of quality. And, this showed that we were able to develop some successful apps. But, this would not have been possible without Space-O.

I hired them for a BA assignment for a project. They did a fantastic job. Quite professional and also good at making the customer understand non technical aspects. Put their mind to think like the customer. A guy named Jaimin was assigned as the work lead and really appreciate his knowledge, understanding customer perspective on the assignment and come up with very valid suggestions. Recommended for mobile app development.

We searched online for app developers that had an extensive experience in mobile app development as well as a strong presence in the market. We chose Space-O specifically because of the up-close experience we had with another app they had developed and we wanted to achieve the same high level of standards, quality, and satisfaction. We were looking for brilliant experts and we found them.

Space-O Technologies showed genuine interest in the project. The efficient team delivered quality results at a cost-effective price. We wanted to develop a minimum viable product that would be ready for scalability. It was a great experience working with them. We are so happy that we had the chance to meet Space-O. We love their work. Their project management and structure were amazing. The team loved what they were doing. There was passion behind every single piece of work.

The app was successfully launched and fulfilled original expectations. The Space-O Technologies team was communicative and effective in completing the project. The app is available in the Google Play store, and we’re thrilled with the final product. They were a highly efficient team to work with. They were strong communicators—whenever I had an issue they were available. Additionally, they were timely in getting deliverables to us.
Nick Power

Eugene, Vlad, Jigar and their respective teams have been fantastic on all the various apps they have worked on and developed for us over the past 18 months. They are always proactive, responsive to questions and consistently provide top quality development and design work. The use of Skype, email and their own project management tool also makes it easy to keep track on how a project is progressing. I would highly recommend Space-O Technologies for any iOS development or design.
Mark

I can't say enough about how great of a partner Space-O has been to work with over the past year. They were always pushing the project forward and ensuring quality checks at every turn, even pieces of my app that I should have caught before sending to development. Will definitely be referring any clients of mine to Space-O and will have them first on my list of partners to work with.
