Overview
EASSE (Energy And Service Solutions Exchange) is a digital marketplace platform with integrated B2B and B2C modules, designed to connect buyers of energy appliances with verified equipment suppliers, certified service technicians, and COREN-registered engineers across Nigeria.
The anchor participants of the EASSE platform are equipment suppliers and energy service providers. These businesses rely on consistent customer access and verified service channels to drive revenue, but often face challenges such as fragmented distribution, limited digital visibility, and inefficient customer matching. EASSE addresses these gaps by providing a unified, structured marketplace that maximises commercial opportunity for every participant.
For buyers — whether individuals, households, or small businesses — EASSE provides free access to a curated catalogue of energy appliances, solar systems, batteries, electrical components, and spare parts, alongside a verified network of installation and maintenance professionals. The platform reduces the friction of finding trusted suppliers and certified technicians in Nigeria’s energy sector.
Scope of Work
Designed and defined the functional architecture for an integrated energy marketplace platform comprising both B2B supplier/provider modules and a B2C buyer-facing storefront. The scope included the development of marketplace management tools, product catalogue workflows, service booking systems, payment processing, user verification, and after-sales support infrastructure.
For the B2B operations layer, the project is to cover:
- A Supplier Dashboard for managing product listings, inventory, order processing, sales analytics, and promotional tools — enabling equipment suppliers to operate their storefronts efficiently within the marketplace.
- A Service Provider Portal for technicians and engineers to manage job dispatch, client bookings, performance tracking, and professional certification records (NEMSA for technicians; COREN for engineers).
- A Platform Administration module for managing user onboarding, subscription management, fee processing, dispute resolution, and operational oversight.
- A Procurement & Spare Parts workflow enabling suppliers to list individual components and spare parts alongside full product units, supporting both retail and maintenance-driven purchasing.
For the B2C customer-facing layer, the project is to cover:
- A Buyer Marketplace — a free-to-use product catalogue and purchasing platform where buyers can browse, compare, and purchase energy appliances, solar systems, batteries, electrical components, and spare parts from verified Nigerian suppliers.
- A Service Booking System enabling buyers to find and book NEMSA-certified technicians and COREN-registered engineers for installation, maintenance, and repair services.
- An After-Sales & Support module for tracking product warranties, managing maintenance schedules, and accessing customer support from suppliers and technicians.
- A Premium Buyer Tier providing individual and business buyers with advanced features including remote equipment monitoring, extended warranty management, priority support, and operational analytics.
- Integrated payment processing supporting secure purchases, subscription billing, and service fee transactions across all user types within the platform.
Outcomes
EASSE aims to establish a centralised and scalable energy marketplace ecosystem capable of improving commercial visibility, service coordination, and buyer-supplier engagement across Nigeria’s energy appliance sector. By bringing product commerce, service booking, payment processing, and after-sales management into a single platform, EASSE is designed to reduce fragmentation and create a more structured, trusted environment for energy transactions in Nigeria.
The Supplier Dashboard gives equipment suppliers real-time control over their product catalogue and customer orders, with access to sales analytics and promotional tools that support data-driven business decisions. The tiered transaction fee model — starting at 5% and reducing to 3.5% at volume — is structured to provide a clear commercial incentive for suppliers to grow their presence within the marketplace.
The Service Provider Portal will strengthen the professional services market by building a verified, bookable network of technicians and engineers. By allowing technicians to retain 100% of their service earnings under the annual subscription model, EASSE is positioned to become a highly attractive channel for independent service providers operating in Nigeria’s energy sector.
The free-to-use buyer model is designed to accelerate platform adoption, while the Premium Buyer Tier creates a recurring subscription revenue stream through value-added monitoring and analytics capabilities. The connection between buyer activity, supplier fulfilment, and technician dispatch creates a continuous service loop intended to improve both operational efficiency and end-user experience across the platform.
On current projections, Year 1 targets include over 420 transactions, ₦150M+ in gross merchandise value processed through the platform, and platform revenue of ₦7.2M+. Five Nigerian regulatory and standards bodies — NEMSA, COREN, NESDeC, SON, and NAPTIN — are being integrated into the verification and compliance architecture to support trusted, standards-aligned operations from launch. .
Project details
EASSE is being developed as an integrated energy marketplace platform designed to support both enterprise supplier and service provider operations (B2B) and customer-facing product and service delivery (B2C). The project involves defining and building multiple interconnected modules to streamline product catalogue management, service provider coordination, buyer engagement, payment processing, verification workflows, and financial tracking.
The B2B component includes a Supplier Dashboard for managing product listings, inventory levels, order fulfilment, and sales reporting, alongside a Service Provider Portal that enables technicians and engineers to manage professional profiles, job bookings, client communications, and certification records. The Platform Administration module handles user accounts, subscription billing, transaction fee processing, and operational oversight across all user categories.
Additional modules include a Procurement & Spare Parts system for managing component listings, bulk order workflows, and supply chain coordination between suppliers and buyers; and an Accounts & Revenue module for tracking all income streams, processing payouts, and managing volume-based pricing tiers. The subscription model covers four provider tiers: free buyer accounts, premium buyer accounts (₦15,000/yr), technician subscriptions (₦20,000/yr), engineer subscriptions (₦30,000/yr), and supplier subscriptions (₦100,000/yr plus transaction fees).
On the buyer-facing side, the Buyer Marketplace allows customers to browse and purchase energy appliances, solar systems, batteries, and electrical components from verified Nigerian suppliers. The marketplace connects directly to the Service Booking System, allowing buyers to commission installation and maintenance work from certified professionals immediately following a purchase. This creates an end-to-end energy appliance journey within a single platform — from product discovery to professional installation to ongoing maintenance — supported by integrated payment processing and after-sales management.
