Project overview
This project involved building a full two-sided marketplace platform connecting buyers with service providers in a specific professional services category. The platform required separate onboarding flows for buyers and providers, AI-powered matching, real-time messaging, integrated payment processing and a comprehensive admin panel.
The challenge
Two-sided marketplaces are technically complex. The client needed a scalable platform that could handle onboarding, matching, communication, payments and dispute resolution — with a user experience that felt effortless for both buyer and provider, despite the underlying complexity.
The solution
We designed and built the platform on a Next.js and Node.js stack with PostgreSQL. An AI matching algorithm connects buyers with the most relevant providers based on location, skills, availability and historical performance. Stripe Connect handles payments and provider payouts. The admin panel provides full visibility of all transactions, disputes and platform metrics.

Separate buyer and provider onboarding flows. AI-powered provider matching engine. Real-time messaging and notification system. Stripe Connect payment and payout processing. Review and rating system with fraud detection. Comprehensive admin dashboard with platform analytics.
