How BeautyonTApp Is Connecting Customers To Beauty Service Providers. Small service providers and independent product manufacturers did not have a tool they could use to connect with customers and customers did not have a tool that they could use to find specific and reliable beauty services in a quick and easy way. The company’s goal is to give South African beauty businesses visibility to global Beauty on TApp users.
Beauty on TApp is a mobile app that was co-founded in 2015 by Mathebe Molise and Sihle Mchunu, who saw a gap in the beauty industry and were inspired to change the South African beauty industry. The founders were not experienced in technology especially IT so they outsourced IT partners who maintained the app. The founders of the mobile application saw a problem and then came up with a solution that would benefit both service providers and customers.
The mobile app gives beauty service and product suppliers a platform to connect with potential customers in the area. It also provides an easy way for beauty service and product suppliers to showcase their work, suppliers are screened to ensure that they only offer the best to customers.
The company’s goal is to give South African beauty businesses visibility to global Beauty on TApp users hence the app was designed to integrate all the beauty businesses in the country so customers can find a reliable beautician or beauty products wherever they are.
This company aims to make the South African beauty industry a top rated one through working with suppliers to improve their businesses as they aim to be associated with the best service providers in the industry. The business started making profit in 2018 and was named as one of the top 20 businesses of the future by Forbes Africa Women. “The business is at a point where it needs to scale and it’s likely we will start looking for funding soon. The best option would be equity funding and to partner with a funder that can assist from a technical perspective as well.” said Molise in an interview with SME South Africa.
