The issue of finding a person or an individual to do a certain job has always been around, even though it has been reduced with the use of adverts and various social media, it’s not as fast and as efficient at locating people. This application finds the closest person(s) with the services running depending on which personalized service the user is looking for and which service the other user provides and links them together thus creating an appointment within the two users on where to meet and the transaction will be carried out. This software will run on Android and will be developed using Java programming language.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview

Personal Services Locator is a platform that helps individuals find workers or “Handymen” that are closest to the individuals’ location. This is achieved by creating a platform that helps with easier access to personal workers. This application helps to find workers effectively and efficiently with the ease and comfort from homes or offices or wherever a user may be. With a few clicks of a button on the Personal Services Locator, details of the user’s location (i.e the person ordering the services) will be sent to the closest “Handymen” around that area who may offer the specific services being requested

Background and motivation

Finding qualified artisans in addition to a trusted artisan is not very easy, even if they exist there are no referrals, this makes the task of getting certain services accomplished within the environment not easy. There is the need for a software tool that serves as a personal consultant in sourcing for “Handymen”.

Having this tool will offer the following benefits:

  • Faster Attendance to issues
  • Easier Access to “Handymen”.
  • Saves time
  • Easy to get help
  • Online payment Facility
  • Local jobs in and around the neighborhood are easily resourced
  • Working at your own time

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Finding qualified artisans is a difficult errand particularly when one voyages and moves to another spot since Handymen are arranged across various territories and contrast in costs, quality and kind of services that they give. The current arrangements endeavoring to tackle this issue are random people offering services dispersed in the web which now and again are not genuine but rather wind up being fraudsters acting like Handymen. Another difficulty that exists is deciding quality services given by these Handymen who fall under the class of private ventures. Potential customers regularly see private companies as without the capacity to have the option to offer quality types of assistance. This makes these administrations to be more costly and hazardous in situations where helpless administrations are given and one must look to other Handymen to do a similar activity

1.4 Aims and objectives

The aim of this project is to enable users have faster access to home service workers Also called “Handymen”. Users will be able to use their Android enabled mobile devices to quickly find the nearest personal worker wherever they are at any time.

The objectives of this project are:

  • To develop an android application that allows users make quick requests for personal workers.

 

  • To alert Personal Service workers that someone needs help in their field of expertise.

 

  • To design an Application that give” Handymen” better exposure of their services

 

  • To validate the effectiveness of a mobile application for locating handyman services within a specific location.

 

1.5 Significance of the Project

With this application the issue of finding a “Handyman” when you need one will be controlled. It will take out the requirement for making calls particularly to housekeeping organizations who may burn through your time and make you hold up quite a while as the greater part of these solicitations are off the cuff. With the rise of handyman service providers because of the inability of the formal sector to be able to give jobs to the unemployed in the country, this study is very important as it looks to bring out the process of acquiring these handymen. It serves to build the public trust in handyman’s quality of service by providing them with a rating feature and repair person work history to determine the quality of service. It also serves to meet the growing need for on-demand handyman services by easing and fastening the process of acquiring handymen
