“The new product for companies and their clients provides the opportunity to order electricity, plumbing, device installation, cleaning, malfunction diagnostic and resolution, guarantee return, and other services conveniently. Our business model is unique not only in Europe but also outside of it”, – says Gediminas Jankus, co-founder and CEO of Discontract.

Innovation allows us to be unique

The product, developed by Discontract provides the opportunity for physical store managers, Real Estate owners and administrators, insurance providers, and apartment community representatives to login into their corporate account on the company‘s webpage and create orders for themselves or their clients.

E-commerce stores also have the opportunity to integrate API – Application Programming Interface – including the service ordering option. This allows clients to bundle purchase the product with the installation service included (which would be provided via Discontract).

The user only needs to click a single button and choose the appropriate time and date. The system immediately automatically assigns the service provider.

Business clients can order various services from the top-rated service providers. The system for business allows the users to observe orders in real-time, while the Discontract customer support division is providing answers to client questions 24/7. 

The service for companies is already being used by a lot of business clients, some of which include Topo Centras, Compensa Vienna Insurance Group, Ekoliumenas, Prenta, Valdantis, Naujininkų Ūkis, and others.
