Ousmane, plumber in Cotonou. +40% more jobs in six months.
Ousmane worked by word of mouth. A client here, a client's friend there. Jobs came in via WhatsApp, often in the middle of another emergency. Quotes got lost, payments dragged on.
Since he's been listed on Locagex: three agencies call on him regularly, every request comes with a photo of the problem, he quotes from his phone and gets paid when the job is done.
Six months later: +40% more jobs, and clean records for tax time.
