Helper is a digital platform that allows drivers to quickly and cost-effectively troubleshoot their vehicle's malfunctions or accidental problems. There are a lot of cars in the city, so there are often times when a car - ran out of fuel, - It is necessary to connect with electric converters, - the door was locked - The tire was damaged - need a tow truck, an evacuator, - and others. The car is driven by a driver who does not know, is unable to solve this problem and is ready to receive help from someone else if he pays the appropriate amount. At that time, there may be a driver, or a resident, on his side or nearby, who has the appropriate tools and is ready to provide assistance on the spot and earn additional income for a certain fee. It is for such cases that the "Helper" application is available, which 24/7 will help drivers, in any place, to quickly get basic help related to the car. Helper, by location, connects a driver requesting assistance with a person able and willing to help, based on their location and distance. Using Helper will allow drivers to save time, money and avoid the inconvenience caused by car problems.
