What is Whistle? Needs meet Haves
Whistle is a platform that connects people and fulfils their needs
The Government, NGO’s and Intuitions can use whistle platform to listen to people’s thoughts and
needs to serve people better.

Why Whistle?
Consumer
Wanted ColumnSearch Listings Service Providers
Provider
Wanted ColumnThe “Wanted Column” does not help in fulfilling needs spontaneously. Neither does it give the service provider an idea about the HEATMAP of the requests. The availability and the need gap remained unfilled
Search ListingsFor users, search tools or listings like Google, Craigslist and Angie’s list could help them find a nearby service provider, for an urgent need like a broken water supply or a gasoline for their stalled vehicle. But their address does not reflect the actual location. The user might miss the nearby provider or vice versa
Service ProvidersFor service providers, they need to wait. Wait for user to contact them. Most times there is lack of information like the location and the exact requirement from the user.
Whistle resolves this by informing both parties when they are nearing each other, so that the nearest provider is available to the nearest consumer. It makes the service delivery effectively utilized. It can also be applied to other categories like neighbor help

Get Things Done
How it Works 05
Need! Have.
A consumer or provider create a “Whistle” for a category like home repair and subcategory plumbing. The system detects the location and matches with already created whistles on the category and subcategory of the opponent ( if provider then consumer
or vice versa). It alerts all matching users when their interested party is nearing them. They communicate and gets things done.

Risks and Mitigation
Providers will compromise with tracking their location on normal business hours to increase their business potential. The App has a quick on and off of tracking. It also has Whistle duration to automatically sets off the whistle. For consumer, Whistle will be alive for few minutes or a day based on their preference. Consumers location is stored and shared only when their whistle is alive or their location is turned on
Privacy Concerns

A patent is registered about this new model. It will stop or hinder the competition. An aggressive marketing strategy will be applied to reach out high number of users quickly to defeat the user base of the future competitor
Competition
1Whistle helps the parties to locate each other and to communicate. The transaction is done outside of the app. So the App is not responsible for service delivery or quality or allegations.
