Full Multi-Vendor Marketplace

Title:
Turn Existing Field Service Management SaaS into Full Multi-Vendor Marketplace

Description:
We’re seeking an experienced full-stack web developer (or team) to transform our current SaaS platform—built using the Field Service Management script from CodeCanyon—into a true service marketplace.

Our vision is to create a two-sided platform where:
• Service professionals can register, list their services, set availability, and manage bookings, clients, and payments.
• Public users can search by location or service type, book instantly, pay online, and leave reviews.

This is not a basic booking site—we need marketplace functionality with multi-vendor dashboards, searchable directories, messaging, and automated workflows.
