Giopat DC Limited

GIOPAT DC Limited is proposing the implementation of an Integrated Tricycle Transportation Management System (ITTMS) in Plateau State. The ITTMS will serve as a digital solution to manage and monitor the activities of tricycle riders and facilitate the payment of daily tax levies for tricycle operators. The project aims to promote efficient and transparent operations, increase revenue collection, and drive digital transformation in the state. This business plan outlines the key components, implementation strategy, and socio-economic impact of the ITTMS project

🎯Problem Statement

Currently, the tricycle transportation sector in Plateau State faces several challenges, including:

Lack of efficient monitoring and management systems: The absence of a centralized system makes it difficult to track tricycle operations, leading to inefficiency, revenue leakage, and security concerns.

---

Manual tax collection: The current method of tax collection relies on manual processes, resulting in delays, inaccuracies, and potential corruption.

---

Limited digital transformation: Many tricycle operators lack access to digital tools and platforms, hindering their ability to leverage technology for business growth and development.

Sustainability plan for the ITTMS project

Accessible and Affordable Healthcare Services: To ensure tricycle operators and their unions have access to affordable healthcare, GIOPAT DC Limited will establish partnerships with healthcare providers and insurance companies. We will negotiate discounted healthcare packages specifically designed for tricycle operators, covering essential services such as regular check-ups, preventive care, and treatment for common illnesses.

By leveraging our network and partnerships, we will establish healthcare clinics or designated healthcare centers in strategic locations where tricycle operators can receive quality care at reduced fees. Additionally, we will organize health awareness campaigns and health screenings to promote preventive healthcare practices among tricycle operators and their families.

Micro Loans and Financial Inclusion: Financial inclusion is crucial for the economic empowerment of tricycle operators. GIOPAT DC Limited will collaborate with financial institutions and microfinance organizations to develop micro loan schemes tailored to the needs of tricycle operators. We will facilitate access to micro loans that can be utilized for vehicle maintenance, business expansion, and personal development. The loan application process will be streamlined and digitized through the ITTMS platform, making it convenient for tricycle operators to apply and receive loans.

Additionally, we will provide financial literacy training and mentorship programs to ensure responsible borrowing, effective financial management, and business growth.

Online Tricycle Hailing/Order Feature: To increase the income of tricycle operators, we will develop an online tricycle hailing/order feature within the ITTMS platform. This feature will enable passengers to book tricycle rides conveniently through a mobile application. By connecting tricycle operators with a larger customer base, this online platform will provide them with more earning opportunities and increased income. We will invest in marketing and promotional activities to raise awareness of the platform among the general public and encourage its adoption.

Additionally, we will provide training and support to tricycle operators on how to effectively utilize the online platform, optimize their services, and provide a positive customer experience.

Capacity Building and Skill Development Capacity building and skill development are vital for the growth and sustainability of tricycle operators and their unions. GIOPAT DC Limited will organize training programs, workshops, and seminars to enhance the skills and knowledge of tricycle operators. These programs will cover a range of topics including digital literacy, business management, customer service, road safety, and financial management. We will collaborate with relevant government agencies, industry experts, and training institutions to deliver comprehensive and impactful training programs. We will also provide mentorship opportunities and facilitate networking events where tricycle operators can learn from successful entrepreneurs and industry professionals.

Community Development Initiatives: GIOPAT DC Limited is committed to community development and social responsibility. We will allocate resources to implement community development initiatives in Plateau State. These initiatives will focus on areas such as education, environmental sustainability, and infrastructure development. For education, we will support programs targeting the children of tricycle operators, providing scholarships, educational materials, and organizing educational workshops. To promote environmental sustainability, we will organize tree-planting campaigns, waste management initiatives, and awareness programs on climate change.

Furthermore, we will collaborate with relevant stakeholders to improve infrastructure in tricycle operator communities, such as road repairs, sanitation facilities, and access to clean water
