Task Master — Engineering a Multi-Sided Service & Resource Marketplace
A marketplace platform built for individuals and businesses to publish needs and services, discover providers and partners, communicate directly, coordinate work, share resources, and manage transaction-oriented workflows from one system.
The Product
More than a task board
Task Master combines service discovery, task and job requests, project collaboration, resource sharing, scheduling, direct communication, subscription and transaction workflows, and administration in one extensible platform.
The deployed product demonstrates the broader marketplace model publicly: people and businesses can find or offer help, publish jobs and projects, discover partners, combine services and resources, communicate directly, and coordinate work online or locally.
