Your app. Built your way. Launched fast.
Plenty of companies will sell you a template and leave you to work around it. We build the app around your business: every feature you want, your brand on every screen, and any idea you bring us.
Fast to launch
We have built apps like this before, so we never start from a blank page. Your app goes live fast, on a date we agree with you in writing.
Fully customised
Every screen, feature and rule is set up for the way you work. Want something nobody else has? Tell us and we'll build it.
Under your name
Your logo, your name, your own Apple and Google accounts. Your customers and their data are yours.
See it before you commit
Your proposal shows the screens, how it all works, a written quote and when it launches. No surprises.
One marketplace, a part for everyone
Buyers, sellers and you each have their own tools, working from the same listings.
Buyer app
Find it, ask about it, buy it.
- Search, categories and nearby
- Chat and offers with the seller
- Secure payment and reviews
Seller tools
List in a minute, sell from the phone.
- Photos, price and details in a few taps
- A shop page for regular sellers
- Offers, sales and payouts
Admin console
Where you run the market.
- Categories, listings and approvals
- Commission, fees and featured spots
- Reports, disputes and payouts
One app or separate apps: your choice
Everything above can be built as a single app or as separate apps. Both run on the same system and do the same things.
A single app
Everyone downloads the same app and signs in. Customers see the customer screens; your staff, drivers or riders see theirs. One store listing, one app to keep up to date, and simpler to put together.
Separate apps
Your customers get their own app with its own store listing, and your team gets theirs. Each app shows only what that person needs.
Either way, you run the business from a dashboard in any web browser. Not sure which suits you? Tell us how you work and we'll recommend one.

Chat and offers
