Tech emergency? Now you can hail a repair technician as easy as hailing a ride.
HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2024 / The new HAILaGEEK app provides a platform where users can instantly find and engage nearby, background-checked technicians for various technology repair and installation services. The app covers a wide range of services, including PC repair, Mac repair, smartphone repair, virus removal, general computer support, business IT support, audio/video setups, home theater installations, smart home configurations, and support for Linux, Cisco, and Windows Server systems.
The app's creator, HAILaGEEK LP, is a Texas Limited Partnership established in May 2019. Comprised of 17 partners, the company created and launched the HAILaGEEK App, initially serving the Houston, TX, and College Station, TX areas. The app connects consumers with available IT and electronics repair professionals for immediate on-site service, eliminating the need for appointments.
Before professionals can offer their services through the HAILaGEEK App, they undergo a comprehensive vetting process. This includes ID verification, a skill assessment, and a background check. This ensures that only qualified and trustworthy technicians are available to consumers.
HAILaGEEK operates as a gig economy app, classifying its technicians as independent contractors. This model allows technicians to choose their working hours, providing flexibility similar to other gig economy platforms. However, the gig economy business model has drawn criticism and legal challenges due to the lack of worker protections typically afforded to employees.
The HAILaGEEK App was launched on March 30, 2020, for both iPhone and Android devices. It offers real-time location tracking of available technicians, allowing users to request services and make payments through the app, akin to hailing a ride. The app also provides options for scheduling services if immediate assistance is not required.
HAILaGEEK has been reviewed and rated on various platforms, receiving positive feedback for its innovative approach to on-site tech support. The app has been featured in multiple media outlets and technology discussions, highlighting its convenience and efficiency.
