QuickQuote is a two-sided marketplace that connects homeowners with verified local tradies. A homeowner posts a job — describing the work, uploading images, and setting location — and receives quotes from up to three local tradies, with no spam and no obligation to hire. Tradies manage incoming leads, quotes, and their business profile through a dedicated dashboard, with onboarding, verification, and subscription plans on the supply side.

The approach

Challenge & solution

The challenge

Finding and hiring a trustworthy local tradie is slow, fragmented, and hard to compare. QuickQuote set out to remove that friction for homeowners while giving professionals a structured channel for qualified work.

Business challenges
Homeowners have no centralized way to discover, compare, and gather competitive quotes from trustworthy local tradies.
Getting multiple quotes traditionally means chasing individual providers one by one, which slows decisions and adds friction.
Tradies lack a reliable channel for qualified job leads and spend effort tracking scattered opportunities.
No single system ties job discovery, quoting, verification, and hiring together for both sides of the market.
Technical challenges
Building a genuine two-sided marketplace where customer job posts and tradie supply stay matched in real time.
Routing each job to the most relevant professionals through semantic matching rather than broadcasting indiscriminately.
Supporting structured job posts with image uploads and location detail while keeping the posting flow low-friction.
Layering onboarding, verification, and subscription logic on top of the core matching engine without complicating either role's experience.

Our solution

We delivered a two-sided marketplace built around a real-time job-to-quote matching system. Customers move through a structured post → receive quotes → hire flow, while tradies manage leads and grow their business from a dedicated dashboard backed by verification and subscription tooling.
