Marketplaces are meeting points where buyers and sellers can connect with each other. Online Marketplaces are no different but use technology to make the interaction quicker and with a lot more information being made available. Evolving from some of the more traditional functions of directory services, classifieds, forums and consumer reviews; a modern marketplace ultimately maximizes this, saves time and money for everyone by actively facilitating price competition and simplifying payment processing.

SGconnect is one of the most recent exciting developments in this area, providing something a bit different from other start-ups and more established business directory websites.

The immediate focus and scope for the SGconnect marketplace is primarily supporting services which are purely local to Singapore, to help avoid all the ‘noise’ from overseas businesses and web-advertising.

The main principle is to help promote the good, and expose the consistently bad! Through encouraging sharing of user experiences and rating of service providers, the aim is to provide an independent source to communicate ...
... current and historic levels of service from previous customers in an online business portal where both users and service providers alike can keep coming back to.

The SGconnect marketplace is independently owned through a locally registered partnership in Singapore. All reviews are validated to help avoid fraudulent and/or fake reviews. This provides user confidence and encourages sharing of experiences, information and comments, both benefitting service providers to find out where they can improve or where they are doing well, and provides potential customers with a validated and honest review.

The premise of the user is to create a job request on a single simple form, which will be reviewed by service providers, who then provide quotes for the user, who in turn compares and selects what they perceive to be the best match.

SGconnect then ‘connects’ the service provider and the user, with the option to manage payment directly, or through their platform as the job progresses and is completed. This is ideal for larger projects such as renovations as well as one off services like photography or transport services.

To facilitate the collection of ratings and reviews, SGconnect promotes it sister site rate.sg so local service providers can collect validated reviews from their customers in a quick and easy process. This is a single form ratings page allowing a user to quickly input 5 different rating criteria against the service provider, which are stored on the provider’s profile on SGconnect.

Even better, SGconnect runs promotions with local service providers to reward customers for collecting reviews, by providing credit to their SGconnect user account, which in turn can be used to pay against any services booked through the marketplace. A great result for both buyers and sellers.

The SGconnect marketplace is both available through a responsive website, and via mobile apps on iOS and android to help make the communication and connections as swift as possible, and accessible to all.
