What We Build
Platform Options
**Cross-Platform (React Native)** - Build customer and provider apps once, deploy everywhere. Essential for marketplaces where you need both sides on iOS and Android. Recommended. **Native iOS (Swift)** - Premium experience for iOS-heavy markets or when targeting high-income customers. Requires separate Android development for provider coverage. **Native Android (Kotlin)** - Optimal for Android-dominant markets or gig economy providers who primarily use Android devices. Requires iOS development for complete coverage. **Our Recommendation:** React Native is essential for on-demand apps. You need both customer and provider apps on both platforms - four native apps would quadruple development cost versus one cross-platform codebase.
Tech Stack
**Frontend:** React Native with TypeScript for customer and provider apps **Backend:** Node.js with Express and WebSocket for real-time matching and tracking **Database:** PostgreSQL for orders, users, and transactions + Redis for real-time matching queue **Real-Time Tracking:** Socket.io or Firebase for live location updates and status changes **Maps & Navigation:** Google Maps Platform or Mapbox for location, routing, and ETAs **Payments:** Stripe Connect for split payments and provider payouts with escrow **Push Notifications:** Firebase Cloud Messaging for booking alerts and status updates **Background Location:** React Native Geolocation for provider location tracking
Why Build Custom
**No-Code Limitations:** On-demand marketplace builders lack sophisticated matching algorithms, real-time tracking, and flexible payment flows your business model requires. **Performance Requirements:** Real-time GPS tracking, instant matching, and live status updates require optimized native performance that template platforms can't deliver. **Custom Matching Logic:** Build matching algorithms specific to your service - skills, ratings, location, availability, pricing, or any factors that optimize your marketplace. **Full Ownership:** Own your marketplace and provider relationships. No platform fees eating your margins. Control pricing, policies, and provider onboarding completely.
