Errand creation
Clients can describe the task they need completed and submit an errand through the platform.
ERS — the Errand Runner System — is a logistics marketplace designed to connect people who need errands completed with runners who can carry them out. We are building for the practical realities of getting things done in Lagos, Nigeria.
Product availability and individual capabilities may vary while release validation and testing continue.
ERS / WORKFLOW
01. Client posts an errand
The task enters the marketplace workflow.
02. Runner accepts
One active errand per runner.
03. Coordinate the task
In-app communication supports coordination.
04. Complete the errand
Completion and payment follow the implemented workflow.

Product capabilities
ERS brings the key participants and steps of an errand into one product. The capabilities below describe the product design; individual features remain subject to implementation and release verification.
Clients can describe the task they need completed and submit an errand through the platform.
Runners participate in the marketplace, with the operating rule that a runner can handle one active errand at a time.
The product is designed for client–runner communication through in-app chat and audio calling.
The payment flow is designed around holding funds through the errand lifecycle and releasing them according to the applicable completion rules.
Engineering foundation
ERS is being developed with a mobile client, a typed backend, managed identity and data services, and supporting infrastructure. The architecture is intended to keep product responsibilities clear as the marketplace evolves.
Security and access controls must be verified in the running product. Wanky Protect is the planned shared protection layer for the wider Wanky ecosystem.
Expo and React Native
Node.js, Express and TypeScript
Supabase and PostgreSQL
Paystack integration planned
Architecture overview, not a service-availability guarantee. Paystack integration is planned and should not be interpreted as confirmation that production payments are active.
The road ahead
The immediate priority is to validate the core marketplace on real devices, resolve release issues, and establish a dependable foundation before expanding the product scope.
