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
  • Creating a custom bidding system for contractors
  • Managing multiple listing types for different project categories
  • Implementing a community forum for user engagement
  • Building project management tools for both customers and contractors

Our Sharetribe Solution
