New app and our goal for seamless payment with the new app feature

we have a new version of the app. With a sleeker design and exciting features like the wrkman wallet, users can now pay for services directly within the app, provided their wallets are funded. The updated app boasts a more seamless booking system and a fresh user interface, making the process even more user-friendly. We also have separate apps for Users and Providers now.

The new app is available on Android only for now. The iOS version will be ready by early February.

Collaboration with rental real estate agents (New Niche)

wrkman is forging partnerships with rental real estate agents to expand our reach. This collaboration aims to provide essential home services to customers moving into new homes, with agents earning a percentage from our commission on every successful referral. Expanding our customer base and ensuring a smoother transition for individuals settling into new spaces.

If you are a rental real estate agent and looking to take advantage of this, download the wrkman app and sign up as a real estate agent.

This year, we’re all about strategic partnerships: Tech events and influencer partnerships.

Building on the success of our participation in last year's Africa Startup Fest at Landmark Event Centre, wrkman is gearing up for an exciting year of tech events and influential partnerships. Our focus is on creating brand affinity and establishing a solid presence in the industry through strategic collaborations.

We aim to elevate the wrkman brand and connect with a broader audience by engaging with tech events and aligning with influencers.

Our current numbers, Users and providers, and Major services

The wrkman community stands tall as an industry leader with over 40,000 members, including users, artisans, and our dedicated staff. However, our ambitions continue. We set our sights on reaching one million community members by December 2024.
