In a statement, VConnect said the app won the award for its ability to allow users to locate any product/service providers in any sector of the economy with ease.
“It would motivate and propel the startup to intensify efforts towards making more information readily accessible and available to people as they will hit the one million mark soon,” VConnect said in the statement.
VConnect’s mobile application was launched for Android, BlackBerry and Apple operating systems in 2013. By using GPS to track a user’s location, it allows users to find local businesses on the go.

Users can also get quotation from different suppliers using the “Get suppliers” feature.”
