VATSAG: An Application for Scouting Authorised Professionals

According to recent studies which show that there is a vast generation of data, this data can act as a resource to hackers to retrieve Personal Identifiable Information (PII) that can be used to perform any sort of fraudulent activities. For any organisation protecting their customer/client data is very much essential. It is also necessary to maintain integrity of the information that has been stored. This application provides protection and integrity to information provided by the customer/client. The paper discusses building a platform to help people to hire a professional in the same locality and also helps independent professionals or early professionals to work for customers. This platform will include professionals like electricians, plumbers, carpenters, housemaids etc. These professionals will be verified by collecting their identity proofs, so that if they try to pull off any sort of illegal activities, they could be tracked down. Thus, there is a sense of proof for the customers to use this platform and there will be no trust issues. There will be a separate page for these professionals to give their credentials to the platform and it will be added to the customer’s platform. The customer will sign up to the platform and will be verified as well. After customer registration, based on their locality, professionals information in the same locality will be shown to them and based on the kind of work they are in need of, they can hire that person. The customers can know the past experiences of them from other customers who are using the same application. The customer can also find the contact information of professionals and communicate with them. Also, this platform enables customers to give feedback for the professionals which will increase the ratings of the professionals. The main objective of this work is to identify and popularise local independent professionals to show their expertise.
