What is the unique selling proposition of GIG9 in comparison with other initiatives in the direction of freelance communities?
We have found our niche in establishing a direct connection between users and local service providers. Current freelancing platforms such as Upwork, Freelance and Fiverr focus on businesses and independent professionals connecting and collaborating remotely. What GIG9 does is provide a personal touch and allow users to get the job done locally with over 150 different types of service providers within their vicinity be it plumbers, electricians, handymen, photographers, nannies, lawyers and so much more.
Similar to Uber, we operate on a Provider Navigation System where users have the ability to actively track the location of their service provider on a map due to our enhanced GPS-mapping technology. This eliminates problems of unwanted delays and irritable time schedules allowing both users and providers to track and plan their schedules accordingly.
Additionally, our users can enjoy the benefits of not having to pay any advertising costs, sign up costs or membership fees. They can simply download our easy-to-use app and sign up to an advantageous experience of real reviews, secure transactions and fair pricing since GIG9 is a decentralised peer-to-peer marketplace built on blockchain technology.
Also, GIG9 will provide an escrow service powered by smart contracts to ensure that all parties are protected in a transaction.
