We felt it was a good idea to tell you about how our product works and how it has come to be the fully loaded solution for Home Service Businesses that it is today.
PodiumIO’s journey began years ago when its founders Eric and Franc were looking for a solution for their multi on-demand home service business, Buonaliving.com. After not being able to find a worthy solution, they decided to combine their 35+ years as seasoned executives in technology and management to create functional booking pages for home service industries.
Thanks to their experience Franc and Eric understood there was a number of custom variables involved in pricing home cleaning services, moving, handyman services, car washes, pet services, dog walkers and there was still no perfect option for selling personalized services to the growing number of online buyers of services.

To this day, for many home services, all pricing has to be done through quotes or over the phone. Thus the aim became to provide a dynamic and easy-to-use digital solution to the complex pricing models found in many home service industries.
Since then, PodiumIO has grown from flexible booking pages, to an all-in-1 solution to accommodate the multifaceted challenges that come with running a home service business, both online and off.
Our aim is to give home service business owners the tools they need to build a successful enterprise, where they maximize profit margins, grow their customer base, and significantly simplify their operations.

Real Time Pricing & Booking Pages
Where it all began, our Bread-and-Butter, thanks to our highly customizable Real-Time Pricing & Booking pages, home services can offer dynamic pricing models that mimic the actual selling process. Our pages instantly calculate the price and the estimated time for the service, it then correlates with the live calendar so buyers can immediately schedule an appointment based on your live availabilities, pay online and instantly receive a booking confirmation! In other words, we built a smart online checkout for home services.

For traditional “Call-In’s”, no problem! Simply click on the calendar and process their order in seconds. Everyone is notified instantly!
