FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Motor City Mobility began as a final project for an Entrepreneurship class at Wayne State near the end of 2011. It started by challenging the belief that mobile applications were the ideal solution for local businesses to reach their increasingly more mobile customers. We continue to challenge the status-quo today.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
We try to focus our efforts on servicing local Metro Detroit businesses but we always take projects that are interesting and exciting to us, and in the past that has included businesses from Mexico, Florida, New Jersey and Italy.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
One specific example of how our services impacted a local business far beyond the projectâs initial scope is with a local, pet-waste removal company, Doggie Scoops. After being referred by a previous client, the owner of Doggie Scoops contacted us with interest in having their website redesigned. Half way through our initial meeting we unsurfaced a pain point that had seemingly no connection to their website plans. Uncollected payments. Due to various reasons, they were having a difficult time collecting payments on services already provided. We solved this unrelated problem by creating a simple PayPal payment form on their website, enabling their customers to pay invoices at anytime and from the device of their choice. Doggie Scoops now collects payments, on-time, on 50% of their invoices through the website. Due to the grunt of the work being handled by PayPal, the system requires little to no maintenance on the clientâs end, saving them both time and money.
