Enabling the Techtrepreneur™

Become a brand trusted ‘village’ techie in support of any technical requirement in meeting industry and consumer needs, supporting everything from fibre-to-the-home installations through to the full Internet of Things (IoT) eco-system, including electrical and other artisan skills.

  • For customers, this means convenience at a finger-click, with the ability to find a local technician or artisan anytime, anywhere.

  • For technicians and artisans, this means free marketing to new potential clients, as well as continually upskilling your career ambitions.

  • For service providers and businesses, this means easy access to a team of brand trusted qualified technicians and artisans in support of your business.

How does it work?

1. Visibility to Customers

Qualified and certified technical agents, in good standing, will be visible to service providers and customers via the MyTechie web portal and app.

2. Dispatch

Dispatches will be scheduled via the app, specifying the work required, the code of conduct expected, the location details. Materials/equipment will be provided by the service provider.

3. Job Fulfilment

Once the job is complete, the agent will fill in the completion form on the app, upload the completion record. The customer and service provider will rate the technician.

4. Payment

MyTechie will collect all payments, reconcile and pay the agent at month end. No cash changes hands, all transactions are done through the MyTechie portal and App at approved rates.
