The problem Servicio solves

Bridging the gap of daily utility workers who face difficulty in finding jobs by helping them in improving their work oppurtunities. A web platform for unskilled laborers to avail themselves of jobs much easier compared to the traditional means. Considering those, we created a platform where we can hire daily utility workers. Assuming that the internet would be an issue for the minor community, we minimize the usage of the internet. We have used SMS APIs and USSD codes for Accepting and Rejecting the requests for the helper's convenience.

Challenges we ran into

There were a lot of challenges we ran into, this is our first hackathon. Implementing typescript was challenging as this was our first time. Trying to minimize the use of the internet for the helper end, we decided to go with using the African Talking API and Twilio API for SMS and USSD Validation for accepting and rejecting the service requests. Tuning the settings of such APIs was a tedious task as we had to authenticate and validate between these APIs. Was extremely pleasing when we resolved it.
