Peer-to-peer trading platform allowing users to exchange goods and services without currency.
Peer-to-peer trading platform allowing users to exchange goods and services without currency.
Our client, a social enterprise focused on sustainable consumption, wanted to create a platform that would enable users to trade goods and services directly with each other without using traditional currency. The goal was to reduce waste, promote resource sharing, and build community connections.
We developed a comprehensive barter application that allows users to list items or services they want to offer, browse available trades, negotiate exchanges, and build a reputation within the community. The platform includes features for item valuation, secure messaging, and dispute resolution.
