Thanks for the feedback.

Ok. I haven't interacted with any yet but will look into it. Essentially, once fully polished, the platform will be a step above the others
David Ngugi - 2383d
Yeah. true. The platform can be hybrid (web, sms,bot). We could also on-board them by physically helping them to join on the messenger platform if they have a smartphone.

Great idea with a lot of potential. Would have been great to see how a rating system can be incorporated, but otherwise, very functional ,scalable and useful.
David Ngugi - 2383d
Thanks. We did intend to setup the rating system where the worker you have worked with can be rated on a 5 star basis. Due to time constraints, we saw it best to show the core functionality

Needs a vetting process to make it useful
Too many assumptions about source of data
David Ngugi - 2383d
Very true. We could vet them after signup. This may be by ensuring they upload documents such as ID card, Good Conduct Certificate and brief CV. We go through it and activate their accounts. May be hybrid (manual + automatic)

I think the concept and opportunity was framed well. This should be a good platform for these types of services in Kenya and beyond.
I'm missing a rating system for the handymen/domestic workers. This would be key to get trust in the system.
Good to see that you want to add payments services and locations - ideally that should have been built to the demo.

Thank you sir. We wanted to come up with a simple solution that is fast, efficient and reliable and most importantly, is relevant to the common man
