What is in the box
Post a task
The customer picks a category, describes the job, adds photos, picks a time and place and, if they want, a budget. It takes about a minute.
Quotes from pros
Nearby pros who match the job get a message. They send a price, a start day and a short note. The customer sees the quotes in one list and can sort by price, reviews or soonest start.
Chat before hiring
The customer can ask a question in a chat. Phone numbers stay hidden until a job is booked, so the chat stays on the platform.
Hire and pay safely
The customer picks a pro and pays. The platform holds the money. The pro sees it is secured and starts work on the day.
Reviews and tips
When the job is done the customer releases the payment, rates the work, picks a few tags and can add a tip. The pro can reply to the review.
Admin panel
The team checks new pros, watches tasks by category, reviews disputes and runs the weekly payout to pros.

Good to know
What is a local services marketplace?
It is an app that connects people who need a job done, like painting or plumbing, with local pros who can do it. The customer describes the job and the pros send their price.
Which features should a services marketplace launch with?
Start with task posting, quotes, held payment, reviews and pro checks in the admin panel. Chat, tips, pro plans and more categories can follow once both sides are using it.
Can you build a services marketplace like this for my business?
Yes. We can build the customer app, the pro app and the admin panel for Android, iOS and web, and connect your payment gateway, maps and message service.
How does the app keep payments safe?
The customer pays when booking, but the money is held by the platform. It is released to the pro only after the customer confirms the job is done. If there is a problem, the customer can open a dispute.
How are pros checked?
Pros upload an ID and, for some trades, a licence. The admin team reviews them before the pro can send quotes. Reviews after each job build the pro's profile.
