Momento

OBJECTIVE:

TO DESIGN AND DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE EVENT SERVICES MARKETPLACE PLATFORM FOR MOMENTO, A STARTUP THAT CONNECTS EVENT ORGANIZERS WITH VERIFIED VENUES, CATERERS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS ACROSS THE PHILIPPINES.

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO REVOLUTIONIZE EVENT PLANNING IN THE PHILIPPINES BY CREATING A CENTRALIZED DIGITAL MARKETPLACE THAT ELIMINATES THE STRESS AND UNCERTAINTY OF COORDINATING MULTIPLE VENDORS. THE PLATFORM WAS BUILT TO SERVE AS BOTH A DISCOVERY AND BOOKING TOOL—DEMONSTRATING THE CAPABILITY TO DELIVER A SEAMLESS USER EXPERIENCE FOR CUSTOMERS WHILE PROVIDING VENDORS WITH POWERFUL TOOLS TO MANAGE THEIR LISTINGS, BOOKINGS, AND CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS.

THE PLATFORM EMPHASIZES TRANSPARENCY, TRUST, AND EFFICIENCY, ENSURING THAT USERS CAN EASILY BROWSE SERVICES, COMPARE PRICING, READ VERIFIED REVIEWS, AND BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE—ALL WHILE VENDORS GAIN ACCESS TO A BROADER CUSTOMER BASE AND STREAMLINED BUSINESS OPERATIONS.

PROJECT GOALS INCLUDED:

• DESIGNING A RESPONSIVE AND MODERN MARKETPLACE ACCESSIBLE ON ALL DEVICES
• CLEARLY PRESENTING ALL EVENT SERVICE CATEGORIES INCLUDING VENUES, CATERING, PHOTOGRAPHY, RENTALS, DECORATIONS, AND ENTERTAINMENT
• IMPLEMENTING SECURE BOOKING AND PAYMENT INTEGRATION USING PAYMONGO FOR PHILIPPINE PAYMENT METHODS
• CREATING AN INTUITIVE USER EXPERIENCE THAT BUILDS TRUST THROUGH VERIFIED VENDORS AND TRANSPARENT PRICING
• DEVELOPING A VENDOR DASHBOARD FOR SERVICE PROVIDERS TO MANAGE LISTINGS, AVAILABILITY, AND BOOKINGS
• BUILDING A SCALABLE DATABASE ARCHITECTURE TO SUPPORT GROWTH FROM GENERAL SANTOS CITY TO NATIONWIDE COVERAGE
• ESTABLISHING A REVIEW AND RATING SYSTEM TO ENSURE QUALITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY

THE PRIMARY GOAL IS TO DELIVER A POLISHED DIGITAL MARKETPLACE THAT TRANSFORMS EVENT PLANNING IN THE PHILIPPINES, COMMUNICATES MOMENTO'S VALUE PROPOSITION EFFECTIVELY, AND POSITIONS THE PLATFORM AS THE GO-TO SOLUTION FOR STRESS-FREE CELEBRATION PLANNING.
