(“Zonetail”) (TSXV:ZONE, OTCQB:ZTLLF) announces a new partnership with Thumbtack, the modern home management platform, empowering high-rise residents to instantly book home projects such as TV mounting, house cleaning, local moving, junk removal, and more.

Recently, Zonetail conducted focus groups with users, to discover what new features and content they wanted to see on the platform. Over 80% of those surveyed requested access to home repair and maintenance services. As Zonetail prepared for it’s U.S. rollout, it set out to find a nationwide partner that had superior technology and a vast network of skilled professionals.

“We have long suspected that providing access to home services would be a highly desired feature, and an absolute necessity that we needed to include on the platform. Our recently conducted focus groups clearly confirmed that fact,” said Mark Holmes, CEO of Zonetail. “We immediately set out to find a company that we could partner with that does this exceptionally well. When we were introduced to Thumbtack, we knew they were the partner we were looking for, their technology and scale is fantastic.”

“Together, we are helping high-rise residents easily get new home projects done, opening up a new channel to drive more business to service providers across the country” said David Steckel, Thumbtack’s Director of Strategic Partnerships. “By seamlessly integrating with Zonetail, we can provide an instant booking experience to fix and maintain your home as well as guidance for residents on what projects to do, when to do them and who to hire.”
