Pollstalker: The Essential Services you Need in a Digital Product

 Even some software and digital companies had business limitations in this pandemic period. We see how the shared business model or the uberisation business model was hardly hit. That happened because some digital companies are partly digital and partly offline in operation.

 So, while the digital component is usually the software technology, the offline component is usually the economic agents that need to come together physically for business to take place.

 This was the problem Codecitty also faced in this pandemic disruption. The start-up was testing a shared economy business model idea when the pandemic came to disrupt the fabric of the idea. According to one of the co-founders, “What we needed to do was to pivot and innovate by  leveraging digital tools.”
