Flickassist

Flickassist helps trade plate passengers connect with trade plate drivers to arrange lifts

Hoping to revolutionise the journeys of trade plate drivers in the UK, Andrew came to me with the idea for Flickassist in 2018: a trade plate driver look-up system that allows plater journey matching to easily arrange and offer lifts, utilising Google Maps API for geolocation and geocoding, and SMS notifications for drivers.

Working with another local developer, Gareth Griffiths, we designed and developed a bespoke WordPress website complete with performant WordPress theme and integral plugin. Utilising a proprietary matching algorithm the website intelligently pairs up drivers that are likely to cross paths during the course of their work enabling them to offer each other lifts between locations, helping them get to their next appointment without hassle.

The site went live in 2019 but getting it into the hands of drivers was unfortunately hampered by covid and associated lockdowns. Andrew is looking to drive forward interest in Flickassist in 2023 and beyond.

    I was close to giving up after 8 years as a blogger. No matter what I did or who I got to help me, the hacker was one step ahead. That is until I enlisted the help of Jem Turner who managed to rid my blog of hacks and give me the confidence to blog again.

    Working with Jem has been nothing but a pleasure. From the get go she was friendly and understanding. She knew exactly what I wanted and already had a plan in place from the first phone call!

    She kept to the schedule she laid out and was very transparent the whole way through and I cannot recommend her enough. Even when problems arised (admittadly my own fault) she sorted them out without a fuss. She responded to every question I had in a professional and curteous manner.

    I will definitely be using her in the future for any WordPress work than I need.

    Magiboards has been working with Jem for 9 years. She single handedly developed and continues to maintain the Magiboards’ website. Our brief to Jem was to design something which we can easily update ourselves. This has worked very well, leaving our budget to be spent on continually adding new areas to the website.

    An excellent web programmer, Jem understands what we are trying to achieve and always delivers. I would highly recommend Jem to any company wishing to use her services.

    Jem’s knowledge and experience of the WordPress platform has proved invaluable to Source in the time that she has been working with us. Her ability to quickly and efficiently build a WordPress website from the visuals provided is second to none – as is her willingness to support our in-house development team with their WordPress projects. Source would have no hesitation in recommending Jem to anyone looking for an experienced WordPress developer for their project or agency.
