Service marketplace software, built around quotes — not just listings.
A directory of service providers doesn't get anyone hired — a marketplace where customers post what they need, specialists send a quote, and payment happens on-platform does. We build that: job posting, quoting, specialist profiles, and payments wired together as one product, not a listings page bolted onto a contact form.
Where this fits
Job-quote marketplaces
Customers post a job with a budget and description, specialists send quotes, and the customer picks who to hire — the core model behind on-demand marketplaces that scale across dozens of service categories.
Local & home services
Plumbers, electricians, cleaners, handymen, and movers — quoted and booked through one platform instead of a phone number on a van.
Freelance & professional services
Bookkeeping, design, tutoring, consulting, and writing — professionals who quote by project instead of an hourly rate card.
On-demand personal services
Personal training, pet care, beauty, and wellness — booked locally or delivered virtually through the same quoting flow.
Single-category marketplaces
A focused platform for one service category — only web development, only fitness coaching — instead of a broad, harder-to-trust directory.
What we deliver
Post a job
Customers describe what they need, set a budget and category, instead of scrolling a directory hoping someone's a fit.
Quoting
Specialists browse open jobs and send a quote with their rate and availability, so the customer compares real offers, not a median price.
Specialist profiles & portfolios
Verified profiles with work samples, rates, and service categories, so a customer can judge fit before ever messaging someone.
Category & service browsing
Browse by service, from home repairs to bookkeeping, the same way you'd browse job categories from the other side.
Reviews & ratings
Reviews post automatically once a job closes, so trust builds visibly on the platform instead of living in someone's personal reputation.
Secure in-platform payments
Payment is collected and released through the platform, with your commission or take rate deducted automatically instead of chased down after the fact.
Specialist dashboard
Specialists manage quotes sent, jobs won, and earnings from one dashboard instead of piecing it together from email and bank statements.
Admin & trust controls
Vet and verify specialists, manage categories, and resolve disputes from an internal admin tool built alongside the public platform.

Things people ask before starting
Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out and we'll answer directly.
It depends on scope — a single-category MVP with basic quoting is a much smaller build than a multi-category platform with vetting, payments, and a specialist dashboard. We'll give you a real estimate after a short discovery call, not a generic range.
