With considerable honesty, we can say the current climate of repair and service in Nigeria is not lacking in difficulties, to say the least. Finding the right repairman, tailor, or plumber seems to pose a problem due to the elusive nature of good service. You have typically closed the gap on expectations and reasonable pricing by either finding the service yourself or relying on an overbearing app with an extortionist service fee to charge you ₦10,000 to have your car repaired.
Are you a talented artisan? You face an even bigger problem. You either have to close your business until you find a paying customer who walks by, or you have to pay a 20% fee of your profit to the booking service. It is a lose-lose for all parties involved.
Fortunately, some changes that may prove to be beneficial have started to take hold.

The “Middleman Tax” That Affects Us All
Any time a technology-based company is able to put itself in between a client and a service provider, costs to the client go up, and the service provider is left with less. In this scenario, the service client is either charged more to pay the middleman, or is made to pay the middleman, and the artisan is left with next to nothing.
The brightest have figured out that the only way to bring a stop to the oppression loop is to eliminate the middleman.
Marketing premium artisans has always been painful, expensive, and incredibly inefficient. Traditional apps create delays, manage funds, and take a sizable commission, all of which are eliminated when a client can pay artisans directly. This makes it easier to accomplish the following:
– Lower costs for clients as there are no app markup percentages.
– Higher payouts for artisans as they receive 100% of the payment.
– Faster transactions as clients communicate directly with artisans.
