Most service platforms follow a simple structure: a professional signs up, picks a category (plumber, electrician, cleaner), and waits for bookings. But what if someone offers multiple services?
On most platforms, they would need separate accounts, making it inconvenient and limiting their reach.This was the core problem Helpii.se aimed to solve. Unlike other service marketplaces, Helpii allows professionals to list multiple skills under one profile, making it easier for them to get hired.
But an innovative idea alone doesn’t guarantee success. The Helpii team needed a high-performance, scalable, and SEO-optimized marketplace to make this work. They partnered with Raindrops Infotech, a web development company specializing in service platforms.
In just six months, Raindrops Infotech built Helpii from scratch—integrating advanced search filters, a seamless user experience, and a tech stack optimized for speed and SEO.
This is the story of how Helpii went from concept to a growing platform with over 1,000 service providers.

Raindrops Infotech focused on three key UX improvements:
By making Helpii fast, user-friendly, and lightweight, the team ensured high engagement and retention rates.
Helpii isn’t just another service marketplace. It’s built with smart, user-friendly features that set it apart.
After six months of rigorous development and optimization, Helpii.se launched successfully.
The combination of Next.js, Laravel, and a custom-built filtering system made Helpii a powerful and scalable service platform.
For service providers in Sweden, Helpii is now the go-to platform for gaining visibility, attracting clients, and growing their business.
Raindrops Infotech didn’t just build Helpii, they transformed an idea into a high-performance, scalable, and SEO-optimized platform.
