Product Concept – “Need”

• Many people look to collect quotes for plumbing, car repair, painting from local businesses and independent contractors. We are developing an application where we will connect the business with the person who wants a quote.

• It will be a win-win situation for both customer and independent contractor. The customer does not have to spend hours looking for an independent contractor, talking with them on the phone or visiting them at their place of work. Instead, customers will come to know about the best offers and prices on their smartphone without entering stores, through the Local Bids application. The app will save them money and time.
