Furthering its mission to ‘Safe Power’ the Indian populace by improving the country’s safety landscape, BetterPlace, India’s leading digital background verification aggregator, has tied-up with doorstep utility services provider HouseJoy. Under the move, BetterPlace will provide stringent identification checks, antecedent/address verification, and criminal/court record checks for the service providers. In addition, BetterPlace will also help Housejoy obtain a police verification certificate for every service provider.
The pan-India partnership, which came into effect in Q2 of 2015, is meant to provide exhaustive antecedent verification of service providers and their employees leveraging HouseJoy’s platform. Moreover, the company aims to continuously monitor verified individuals with frequent address and criminal checks to ensure the highest level of safety.
Speaking on the partnership, Pravin Agarwala, Co-founder & CEO, BetterPlace, said, “Doorstep delivery of essential home services such as beauty solutions, plumbing, and electricity requires the individuals to often spend 1-2 hours inside homes. As such, safety becomes a prime concern for both the consumers and the service provider. This is where BetterPlace’s disruptive technology geared towards improving the security landscape of India comes in. Empowering service providers as well as consumers make informed choices, BetterPlace’s B2B/B2C background verification helps simplify the process of verification and increases the safety factor for our users.”
Speaking on the partnership, Sunil Goel, Co-Founder, Housejoy.com said, “At Housejoy, we treat the issue of Customer safety with utmost importance. Our customers should feel comfortable with the service providers entering their homes. We facilitate this trust and comfort by doing a thorough background verification of our service providers. We have partnered with BetterPlace to do a thorough background verification as they help us with Identity, Address and Police verification for all our service providers. Betterplace has a platform that helps us to do all the above in a seamless manner and a faster pace.”
