Equipped Pros
A reverse marketplace connecting customers with trusted contractors for home and commercial projects, featuring a unique bidding system.
The Challenge
Equipped Pros needed a reverse marketplace model where customers post their project needs and contractors can bid on them. This is the opposite of traditional marketplaces where service providers list their offerings.
- Building a reverse marketplace flow within Sharetribe
