Nigerian Mobile App Curbs Insecurity, Unemployment, Inflation And Others by EscalateTech: 11:29am On Aug 26, 2023
Escalate app, is a unique application designed to curb (4) major socioeconomic problems in the society.

- Insecurity
- Unemployment
- Inflation
- Medical inefficiencies


It is no news that the socioeconomic problems mentioned above have grounded economies to a halt with little to no alternative for these countries.

How Escalate App is uniquely designed to curb these socioeconomic problem.


INSECURITY:
Escalate is poised to tackle insecurity through "community policing". Victims can trigger emergency alert to a maximum radius of 2km realtime, while an SOS emergency message is automatically sent to an unlimited number of victim registered emergency contacts (loved ones). Persons in the escalated radius of the victim can see the realtime location of the victim on the escalate app map screen. While the proximity page on the escalate app can be used to communicate with victim realtime.

Examples of insecurity situations escalate can help users:
- Kidnap cases: if triggered on sight, chances of area being cordoned off is high.
- One chance (Bamise's case): traffic could be stopped.
- Neighbourhood/Estate robbery: Victims can trigger an emergency alert while estate gates are closed down until situation is de-escalated.
- Assisting security personnels: if stations are within the radius of escalated emergencies, signed-up police officers are also alerted with visible tracking routes to victim.




UNEMPLOYMENT:
According to statistics of unemployment in various countries, it's common knowledge that unemployment is on the rise. The rapid penetration of technology and advent of AI only makes those figures increase further.

According to research
- Economies are sustained by SME's whom control 50% above of the economy and account for majority of the workforce.
- 20 to 70 percent of businesses fail in its first year amongst various sectors.

Reasons SME's fail or never start:
- Lack of experience.
- Poor planning.
- Lack of funding.
- Competition.
- Economic conditions.

How the Escalate APP tackles unemployment:
The Escalate app is a unique application that tackles unemployment using technology. Users only need to sign up, register under a business category they are skilled or run a business on. When a search is initiated on that category, receiver gets notified on their phones to either accept or decline. On acceptance, receiver's response is transferred to the user with users contact details to engage directly without Escalate being in the middle of the transaction using the direct call method or chat option.

Advantages for signed up business or skilled professionals:

- Escalate App allows visibility to all across board, it does not take into recognition of size, capacity, strength or capital base. For every search on a business or skilled professional category, positive results are tabulated with distance proximity from all whom accepted that request.

- Escalate app encourage SME's to start small with little to no capital.

- Escalate app opens up the various sectors not practised in most countries while linking them to clients.

Advantages for user:
- User has a vast array of option to various skilled professionals or business on the tap of a button realtime from anywhere between 0km to 50km.

- User is able to scan through positive feedbacks of accepted request rather than the option of (one) we have now.

- User is able to see realtime location of positive feedbacks, and the proximity distance between user and receiver.



INFLATION:
Having discussed how the Escalate app solves unemployment to a great extent above, it is evident Escalate app would reduce inflation drastically to a single digit in Nigeria and a great extent for those countries that are much lower through the linking of users to clients directly with the exclusion of the "Middle Man" escalate app inclusive.

With a direct access to the farmer in Borno or the importer of a vehicle, the chef that bakes at home or the poultry in Akure, the elimination of the middle man would drastically reduce the price of services and commodities to an affordable value. Also, knowing that user is armed with an amount of positive response, it encourages the lack of greed across board for business persons and skilled professionals.

Example: (Cab driver - one of hundred of categories in the escalate app)
- Uber charges 25% commission
- Bolt charges 15%
- Indrive has a static base price.
Escalate on it's "Cab driver" category directly links the driver to the client with 0% commission.





MEDICAL INEFFICIENCIES:
With only 1 - 10,000 ambulances service in Nigeria, and pakistan, a country with almost same statistics with Nigeria having the most ambulance in the world, we can conclude it is time the private sector comes in to mitigate the dire need of ambulances and trained personnel in Nigeria.

We have quite a number of ambulance services in Nigeria, but compared to the population, we barely have any.

Referring back to unemployment discussed above and how escalate resolves it, it is envisaged that those sectors that are moribund at the moment would be revived using the Escalate platform. Escalate would employ the laws of demand and supply to tackle medical inefficiencies. Citizens can invest in ambulances services, register ambulances while receiving medical emergency alerts from users with realtime location with an option  to discuss with victims through the proximity page.
Hospitals registered on the app within users proximity are alerted and at liberty to discuss with victim via the proximity page.
Users can initiate a search for blood banks, and all other necessities required by the hospitals if necessary using the "urgent assistance" category search.


The Escalate app team is poised to bring in fearures that generally affects society positively in future updates.

The app is good.

Downsides

It’s like you guys cloned a template ?

You have to make you front end reflect the real purpose of your site.

Over all it’s nice.
