Problem
Finding reliable home service professionals in Nigeria is often a slow, uncertain process. Users struggle to verify the credentials of artisans, compare prices fairly, and ensure payment is only released when the job is completed satisfactorily.
Solution
MyFixam provides a mobile platform that matches users with verified artisans near them for a wide range of services, including plumbing, electrical work, AC repair, cleaning, hair, and tailoring. Users describe their job once and receive bids from nearby pros, allowing them to compare prices and choose the best offer. The platform verifies artisans through NIN checks and live selfies, and holds payments in escrow until the user confirms the job is done. Live tracking and proximity-based matching ensure that help arrives quickly and reliably.
Target Audience
Primary customers are Nigerian homeowners, renters, and small businesses who need quick, reliable access to vetted home service professionals such as plumbers, electricians, AC technicians, tailors, and hairstylists.
