Abstract:
There is a huge demand for labor workers for repair and maintenance at houses and offices. The house owners when in need of such workers, it has become difficult to find suitable labour on demand. On the other hand, the skilled workers such as electricians, masons and plumbers find it difficult to get a chance to avail such opportunities due to lack of reaching out to the customers who are in actual need of their services. This project aims to bridge the gap between the customers and the skilled workers to maximize the revenue for the workers and hassle free connectivity between the needy and the skilled workers. The proposed EMP-Crew (Electrician, Mason and Plumber (EMP) Crew) is an Android mobile application intended to connect customers with skilled professionals offering an easy-to-use platform for registering the complaint and tracking the details. Customers can easily browse through a variety of service categories, check the availability of professionals, book services and monitor the progress of the work and receive updates on the status of the ongoing work. Whether it is a minor electrical repair, a plumbing emergency or a masonry construction, the app allows customers to find skilled workers in real time. For technicians, this app serves as a dynamic platform to manage their services, update availability, receive job notifications to ensure they are easily accessible to customers and ensure timely payments for the works.
Key Points: EMP-Crew, Skilled workers, Electricians, Masons, Plumbers, Android mobile application, Customer-service connectivity, Real-time booking, Repair and maintenance, Home and office services, Hassle-free service, Timely payments.
