However, almost all the cities need some kind of transportation even in the lockdown situation for so many reasons, be it delivering essential items to the public or delivering medicines or medical instruments to medical professionals in the case of emergency. Since micro-mobility transportation by nature allows social distancing, it has so much potential to serve people in this crisis compared to any other transportation.

How to make most out of existing business in the crisis period by ensuring a healthy ride: 

• Disinfecting shared hardware after every use:

According to the United States Environment Protection Agency, the virus can live up to 72 hours on steel or plastic substances. So apart from daily cleanings, it is very important to disinfect all the common contact points e.g. handles, seats, brakes, bells, etc. after each ride for the safety of both owners and users.

• Revise the work policy:

It is very essential to follow some hygiene routines for the safety of the staff and commuters. E.g. use of gloves and masks should be made compulsory for both user and owner, frequently washing hands, avoid taking meals together and anything that is needed and possible to implement.

•  Working responsibly:

As the symptoms of the coronavirus take two weeks to manifest, there is some personal responsibility to keep the authorities updated about your health. It is a shared responsibility of both owners and users to do their part in minimizing the transmission of the infection.

• Work as a union:

Follow the guidelines published by the local public health authority and support their efforts to prevent the spread of the virus. Try to be in close contact with them for better policy implementation.

How to start an e-scooter sharing business ensuring the safety of people during covid-19 successfully?

Although the micro-mobility sharing industry is in flux, the dynamic and agile nature makes it essential in the time of crisis. Now is the time to hold the opportunity but with efforts of reducing risks and sustainable mobility.

Design tricks for an e-scooter app:

• Nearest e-scooter discovery:

In the previous version of the Bird’s app, our team has noticed that an overcrowded map filled with overlapping logos makes the nearest e-scooter discovery and e-scooter selection process very tedious for users.

Instead, opt for a cleaner screen, in which by clicking on the number icon, the map zooms in and shows the exact location of the e-scooters of that nest. 

• Locate the e-scooter:

For that, our UI team has suggested two mobile app UI changes. First is the image of the last known parked location and the second is the approximate address of the e-scooter.

• Provide outstanding features:

You can add features like showing the battery percentage icon on each e-scooter icon on the map. Also you can integrate a feature that asks destination from users, and after analyzing watts needed to reach there, it only shows e-scooters with enough battery power.

• e-scooter reserving:

This feature can help users book the e-scooter up to 30 minutes. After reaching near the booked e-scooter, the user can simply unlock it. Here it is worth mentioning that during the time period of 30 minutes, any other user cannot unlock that booked e-scooter and a user who has booked that e-scooter cannot unlock any other e-scooter!

Strategies you can adapt to sustain the market in crisis period:

• Provide convenient mobility with safety:

You can provide an in-app wallet to make an online payment, riders can use the cashless ride and physical contact can be avoided.

• Health first policy:

Being a startup at this time, you need to be alert about maintaining all the safety measures to be a trusted brand.

• Tie-up with popular stakeholders:

You can tie-up with local government or hospitals or restaurants or local vendors and provide them vehicles for their communication purposes. Which may stabilize your initial customer base.

For any application development you need to research the market, identify potential users and their existing problems and then plan the features accordingly. This analyzing step is very essential to make any app successful especially in this critical time when the established players are pausing their business.

E-scooter app works the same as the other on-demand apps. You can refer our dedicated blog on how to develop an on-demand e-scooter app during covid-19.

Coronavirus pandemic isn’t only affecting the day-to-day life of billions of people, but it is also affecting the performance of the global market. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has already downgraded the real GDP growth projections for almost all economics by a significant percentage.

Amid such an unsettled situation, business owners and entrepreneurs do not prefer to invest their money to start any kind of app-based business.

However, extensive research done at the Coruscate by our business experts suggests that this temporary slowdown is unknowingly fueling the many good business opportunities which will start popping up once we contain the coronavirus.

Because coronavirus is changing the service adoption pattern of the users. For instance, people nowadays prefer to order food online through contact-less delivery rather than going out.

There are many other businesses like on-demand food delivery businesses which have already been experiencing the highest-ever user base due to the coronavirus outbreak.

So, if you are an entrepreneur and focusing on the business opportunities during and even after a coronavirus outbreak, we will make you familiar with the 5 app-based businesses which will thrive once we contain the coronavirus outbreak.

But before discussing that, we need to address the most anticipated question:

When will we successfully contain the coronavirus outbreak?

Though no one knows the exact answer, one thing is very certain that the results of strong measures taken by different countries will start popping up from mid or late April and by September or October, we can fully control the coronavirus outbreak. And if we consider the worst-case scenario, the coronavirus outbreak may last until we find a vaccine which is estimated to be market-ready around Christmas-2020 (or even before the United States presidential election).

Meaning, you have next six to eight months to be prepared to get everything out of the market which will skyrocket once we contain the virus.  So, if you want to grab this business opportunity created by the coronavirus outbreak, the following are the 5 app-based businesses which you can consider.

5 app-based businesses that will thrive after we contain the coronavirus outbreak

Though the aftermath of the coronavirus outbreak will be very severe, there are a few app-based businesses that will witness the positive side of the coronavirus outbreak.

Following are those 5 app-based businesses that will thrive after the coronavirus outbreak.

• E-scooter sharing business

   

Superpower USA and all other countries are promoting social distancing which is the best weapon we have right now to combat the coronavirus outbreak. But people travelling in crowded public transportation are at a higher risk of the coronavirus as they are not at the safe distance from fellow passengers in a crowded bus or train.

Currently, when the coronavirus outbreak is at its peak in Europe and the USA, people from all around the world opt more for solo travel and avoid public transportation as much as possible. Coronavirus is teaching people to avoid crowded places and people will continue applying this learning even after the coronavirus outbreak.

If we look at this changing travel pattern from the business perspective, an e-scooter is the most affordable and easy medium for people who want to travel solo. By giving them easy access to your e-scooters, you can build a very large user base.

However, you have to ensure that your team disinfects the throttle of the e-scooters many times in a day!

• On-demand food delivery business

   

This is one of the businesses which has already been experiencing the positive side of the coronavirus outbreak. Even during a pandemic, the UK on-demand food delivery segment has increased by 11%. According to CNBC, Southeast Asia’s top on-demand service provider, Grab’s food delivery business has witnessed the rise in demand by 20% in the last few days.

One of the major reasons behind the surge in on-demand food delivery industry is the changing service adoption pattern of the users. Amid coronavirus, people do not go out in crowded restaurants to be an easy victim of coronavirus. Instead, they order food online.

Food delivery companies are also introducing new features to make sure the virus-free food packages. One of such features is non-contact delivery.

If you want to know more about developing a food delivery app to launch it in the market during the coronavirus outbreak or after it, you can read our dedicated blog on it.

• On-demand grocery delivery business

   

Grocery is one of the essential requirements of the people. They can, of course, visit nearby supermarkets to buy the grocery. But considering the risks, people nowadays order grocery more through on-demand grocery apps and unknowingly develop a habit to order through grocery apps more often.

This is what we are experiencing in the USA. According to Apptopia, US on-demand grocery apps have been experiencing a rapid increase in the numbers of daily downloads.  If we compare the average daily downloads in February to March 15 2020, Instacart, Walmart Grocery and Shipt have seen their daily downloads surge by 218%, 160% and 124%, respectively.

• Home workout apps

   

To contain the coronavirus outbreak, cities across the world impose total lockdown. This leaves no other options to people for workout except home workout apps. These apps enable people to take care of their health while not leaving home.

There is already a large user group available which does not prefer to go to the gym. Instead, they use home workout apps to save costs and time.  The coronavirus outbreak is causing the irruption of many such user groups. You can promote your home workout apps to these people and earn a lot of money through the subscription model.  

• Online teaching apps

   

Education sector is one of the worst affected sectors due to the coronavirus outbreak. As of 16 March 2020, governments in 73 countries have announced or implemented school closures, including 56 countries which closed schools nationwide and 17 countries with localized school closures.

During such a dreadful time, the online teaching apps come to rescue. It lets students around the world keep studying from their homes. Like home workout apps, a large number of users have already been using many such online teaching apps. But this usage is expected to be doubled as parents will continue taking all precautions even after a coronavirus outbreak.
