Home services marketplace apps ready to scale across US states and metros.

A central table maps each job type to the license, registration, bond and insurance requirements in each state and, where needed, each city. Operations staff edit the table as rules change, and the app reads it every time a job is posted or a provider is offered work. Changes are versioned, so you can see which rule applied to any past job and who changed it.

Licenses, classifications, insurance certificates, bonds and workers' compensation details are stored per provider with expiry dates and the source used to verify them. Reminders go out before anything lapses, and expired credentials pause regulated work in every state automatically. Insurance minimums can differ by trade and state, and the vault checks each certificate against the right minimum.

Background checks run through a consumer reporting agency with the standalone disclosure, written authorization and pre-adverse and adverse action notices the Fair Credit Reporting Act requires. Some states and cities add their own rules, which the rules engine can flag for your counsel.

Homeowners post a job with photos and timing, and qualified pros respond with itemized quotes. Fixed price menus handle small tasks; larger work goes through on-site estimates, accepted quotes and signed change orders. State-specific contract wording can be attached by job type. Homeowners can ask questions inside each quote before accepting.

Scheduled booking, instant dispatch or both, configured per metro depending on supply. Service areas are drawn by ZIP code, travel buffers reflect local drive times and dispatchers can override automatic matches when they know the job better. Seasonal demand, such as snow removal in northern states or storm repairs along the Gulf Coast, can open temporary service lines per market.

Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay through a processor that keeps card data out of your systems and owns most of the PCI DSS scope. Holds at booking, capture on completion, milestone payments for projects and split payouts to providers, with tax reporting forms supported through the processor. Sales tax on services varies by state, so tax settings sit in the same market configuration as the licensing rules.

The FTC rule on consumer reviews and testimonials bans fake reviews and suppressing negative ones. Reviews come only from verified completed jobs, staff cannot write or buy them, and removals are limited to published policy reasons with a logged record.

In-app chat between homeowner and pro with masked phone numbers, plus push, email and SMS notifications. Text messages need prior consent under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, so opt ins and opt outs are captured and honored everywhere. Marketing email follows CAN-SPAM, with unsubscribe handled automatically.

California, Texas, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and a growing list of other states give consumers rights over their data. The console handles access, deletion, correction and opt out requests, records consent for sensitive data such as precise location and keeps a timestamped log.

Market managers see their own metros; head office sees everything. Onboarding queues, disputes, refunds, fill rates, response times and repeat booking reports are filtered by state, metro, trade and ZIP code, with role-based access to sensitive data. Exports feed your finance and data teams without manual work.
