Understanding the untapped market of chores management

Patra’s vision is to revolutionize chores management so that Canadians can focus on the things that matter to them most, such as spending time with family, enjoying their hobbies, or working on their business. Patra seeks to create a platform that builds connections between helpers and customers. The platform will be a one-stop-shop for all types of chores’ services while allowing customers to add preferences and track their ongoing appointments. Additionally, this will be a platform that easily allows helpers to build a digital presence for their services and improve their impact on our society. Many helpers attempt to operate independently but have limited experience or funds needed to build a digital presence. Patra will enable helpers to be visible to potential clients similar to how restaurants are displayed to customers on Uber Eats.
