Modular Web Platform – Social + Business + POS System (React, Node, PostgreSQL)

We’re building a scalable platform that connects local businesses, producers, service providers, and end users in a global ecosystem. The system includes business listings, real-time maps, social interactions, POS-based inventory, subscriptions, reviews, job board, events, chat, and full admin control – all in one unified, multi-role web application.

We are looking for an experienced full-stack team (or a coordinated freelancer group) to implement this platform based on a full spec document and pre-approved feature roadmap.

Goal:

A unified platform that combines social features (like follow, post, like, comment) with business tools (inventory, events, jobs, deals), optimized for mobile-first, global scaling, and user engagement.

We already have a full feature document (PDF), brand system, roadmap, and use case plan. We’re now looking for the right team to build the full web app from scratch – clean, scalable, and modular.

⸻

What we need from you:
• 1 project lead or point of contact
• Clear timeline and weekly progress structure
• Pixel-perfect UI (design provided or by you)
• Regular updates & GitHub code commits
• Serious commitment – no part-time or “in-between” approach

If you’re a serious team with experience in modular platforms (marketplace, dashboard, social & business tools), we’d love to hear from you.

Budget: 5000€max
Start: ASAP – ready to onboard now.
