StarofService opens opportunities for Indonesian professionals

http://www.starofservice.co.id/

StarOf Service.co.id is an online marketplace dedicated specifically to services that help people find real and trustworthy professionals. After its huge success in the European Market it is all set to mark its presence in Indonesia. The website, through the launch of its online market place in the country, is largely planning to boost its international presence. With approximately 520 million workforce, it saw the country as a huge pool of skilled manpower, professionals, and semi and unskilled labor which would prove to be vital for the success of this platform.

Founded by Lucas Lambertini, Mael Leclair, and Toni Paignant last November 2013, StarofService was built upon the principle that almost anything can be bought online. “However, when it comes to services, everything becomes more complicated.” Toni Paignant, COO and co-founder explains, “Whether it’s finding a handyman, a sports coach, or a photographer or a DJ, one generally loses a lot of time looking for someone who is competent, available and affordable,” Paignant said. “Our idea was to allow anyone to be able to request an online service.” With an algorithm that geotags and alerts the best professionals within one’s area, StarofService is hitting two birds with one stone, Awan Rimbawan, StarofService Indonesia’ Country Manager said. “These professionals will receive the customers’ requests and will then offer a bid for their service. Upon receiving these bids, the client will then compare and make an appointment with the professional of his or her choice.” StarofService allows businessmen to advertise their services for free, helping them gain visibility through an optimized profile for search engine optimization or SEO. Continually drawing a lot of investors, StarofService has recently closed a $1.195 million deal with Point Nine Capital. Funds earned were used to open its offices in the international market, with their team now expanding into 80 countries worldwide. Lucas Lambertini, the company’s CEO explained, “The market in which http://www.starofservice.co.id positions itself is much bigger than most people think. No company has taken a dominant position nor conquered the international market. Our ambition is to take this position, and we were lucky enough to find the right investors who share our vision of becoming the leading one-stop shop for service providers globally.”
