On-demand company

Definition
On-demand companies

"such as Uber (which provides driver services) or TaskRabbit (whose providers perform household errands and tasks) use Internet- or application-based technological platforms to match consumers to a select pool of potential service providers. The on-demand aspect of these companies refers to their use of technology to respond to a customer's immediate need (e.g., for a driver or delivery) or specific need (e.g., for a particular rental or service provider skill set)."
