CanYa

CanYa Pty Ltd is an Australian Proprietary Company first registered in 2016. The company is an Australian based start-up which has a geo-located online marketplace and networking application (or app) called CanYa. The CanYa app uses a mobile device’s geo-location, a feature of all smart phones, and allows users to locate specific providers who are geographically nearby.
History
The company was founded by John- Paul Thorbjornsen, the Chief Executive Officer. The app was launched in Darwin, Australia in December 2016 and then in Adelaide, Australia on 20 January 2017
In January 2017, CanYa was featured in the NT News as an app designed to connect locals to services. In April 2017, CanYa was featured in the Huffington Post as one of the latest apps ‘designed to make your life easier’.
How it works
Users can browse for service provider profiles listed in their local area by searching for key words or service categories. The app also allows ranking of providers by price, availability or reviews. The user can request quotes from a selected provider, or broadcast a job request to all providers in a given service category. Once a quote request is received, the user can then accept the quote.
Fees
The company does not employ any of the providers; it is a broker and receives a percentage of the service fees with every completed transaction.
Features
CanYa allows a user to request a quote from the provider chosen, or broadcast the request to all local providers.
Reward system
CanYa has a built in two tiered referral reward system. All users receive a unique referral code which is built into any profiles they share with others. If they refer a new user using their unique referral code, CanYa pays them ~ 10% of the profits made on every transaction that the new user makes. If the new user then refers a third party, then CanYa pays the first user ~15% and the second user ~10% of all profits made on every transaction the third party makes.<ref name=":3" />
