On Demand App Development is a unique solution that is developed to automate the workflow of businesses and bridge the gaps to improve productivity. The ever-booming IT industry has thousands of companies out there who offer On Demand App development, sooner or later every business land on the shores of these companies because there comes a day when business operations become messy and it can’t be controlled manually. On Demand App Development has gained popularity as it has the potential to disrupt the industries with a unique solution that will empower businesses to have an edge over their peers and outrun them.

**On-Demand Application Development**
The on-demand economic model had the potential to disrupt our conventional economics and how industries operate. Let’s discuss the solutions that have successfully implemented this:

Uber has disrupted the conventional cab service where cab owners had the monopoly to charge unreasonable fares for poor service. The On-demand taxi-hailing apps are being supported by governments as they have drawn the public’s attention to pool the transportation vehicles which helps in reducing carbon emissions and they have also increased the business for this industry.

Online food delivery apps Zomato, Swiggy, UberEATS offered shared food delivery service platform for local vendors so that they can serve their customers on low risk. These vendors can register on these platforms where customer and vendor will pay a small fee for their service.

Reliance Jio disrupted the Indian telecommunication service where companies were using antiquated equipment with 3G and 2G spectrums in hand. Jio brought the latest hardware and launched its service on the 4G spectrum. In Jio’s case charging the customer for data plan instead of calls, high-speed communication channel and bundled apps from Jio helped them to capture major customer base. It’s been more than 4 years still their peers are trying to catch up.

Virgin group got inspiration for Hyperloop from a research paper published by Elon Musk in 2012 where he expressed his vision to develop a transportation system where magnetic passenger pods will levitate and travel through vacuum tunnels to eliminate the resistance caused by air and friction. The idea is disruptive because it will use less energy, provide faster public transportation system to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.

All the above-listed solutions would have never been possible without software and apps.

On-Demand apps can be an ERP, CRM or a BPM because it's not just about product delivery or service apps it about automating the work process which includes finding the available vendor who matches to your preferred cost and can deliver the product when you need it. The process requires the functionality to track packages effectively to handle scenarios.

Walmart, Amazon and Maruti Suzuki are a couple of companies who have opted RFID sensors (Small sensors with 1 to 2 mm radius with inbuilt battery and transmitter) to track the movement of packages in real time even if they aren’t connected to the internet. Whenever these packages come into the range of RFID readers then encoded radio frequency data on RFID tags get registered in the local system with date and time, this data is synced with the centralized system periodically. Therefore, these companies are operating with the least error rate in their logistics division.

Although On Demand apps are unique software solutions for businesses but the following features are common among them.

**Easy Sign-In**
Easy sign-in is being preferred by businesses because they need visitors to email ids for continuous communication to upsell their products and visitors hate to fill forms for creating accounts in order to try the service. For easy sign in social login and SSO, login features are integrated into On Demand apps.
