Abstract
The pursuit of immediate services and goods have underlied the rapid development of on-demand technology. On-demand technology offers less interaction than conventional methods. It has disrupted the conventional way of obtaining goods or services by offering a way to get immediate goods and services in real time and even on the go. The rising of on-demand technology and startups has led to the creation of an on-demand economy where conventional services are repacked in new modes of delivery and accommodate a wide range of users.

Those are real time technology, background history and capability, interactive maps, pricing, and distance-wise priority.
