2. The app will also how average quotation offered by the business. 

3. Users can also chat with a service provider via the app.

4. Users will also be able to see how far or near a business is from their location. 

 Trudon hopes to have 100 000 small and medium business available soon and hopes that the app will help SMMEs reach a wider audience.
