There were times when the internet came in handy for
relatively basic tasks. But it’s a different thing today.
The internet is now leveraged to provide solutions to
both simple and complex problems.
In Nigeria, here are 3 of the numerous companies
leveraging the internet.

Tweak Mall
Tweaks Mall is an online Marketplace for creative
templates like logos, motion graphics/video adverts and
Website/web app development.
It allows customers make custom request and see cost
implications in real-time. Also, by allowing designers
own and control their storefront (allowing them to set
their prices, discount coupons, SEO), Tweak Mall
claims to have creative templates and custom design
curated by various creative geeks across Africa. This
perhaps is its greatest advantage. Tweak Mall is
certainly not playing in an isolated space. The likes of
Themeforest.net, freepik.com, designscook.com are
doing something very similar.
Under the stewardship of Ekemini Akpan, Tweak Mall
operated on bootstrapping until it secured a grant of
about $5,000 from the Tony Elumelu foundation for a
side project that Tweak Mall
The startup launched on 31st of July, 2015.

iFixng.com
iFixng.com is an online platform for hiring handyman/
workmen. Contrary to what the name suggests, iFix
role is more of an intermediary than the actual service
provider.
Users (individuals, cooperate firms and engineering
outfits) who require the services of a professionals
request for a handyman while “we single out the best
candidate for the job who has gone through a
background check and rigorous levels of scrutiny,” says
Okwonkwo Gerald, founder as well as CEO.
Also, the users communicate the full extent of the job
as well as negotiate terms and payments with the
handyman in person. However, payment is only made
upon completion of the job.
It is however not clear how iFix comes by these
professionals, but if the promise to get the handyman
to the user within hours of the request is anything to
go by, it’s safe to assume they are pre-registered on
the platform.
Interestingly, iFix claims to track the handyman in real
time en route customer location. This is in compliance
with security standard.
iFix Launched on the 30th of September, 2016.
