On-demand platforms are increasingly being adopted by restaurants, media professionals, the healthcare industry, OTT, and hospitality. This has resulted in a clear surge of this trend and it’s becoming the future of the economy.

Personalization influences more than 59% of consumers’ purchase decisions, according to an Infosys’ Rethinking Retail survey.

Hence, it can easily be predicted that on-demand is reshaping the future of customer service.
