The problem
Agencies and freelancers were bouncing between a marketplace, a time tracker, an invoicing tool, and a payments processor — and nothing reconciled cleanly at the end of the month.
Our approach
- 01
Built a marketplace, a desktop time tracker, an invoicing engine, and Stripe payments on a single data model.
- 02
Designed escrow-backed milestones so clients get work-in-progress proof and freelancers get paid on time.
- 03
Shipped a dispute flow built around the actual work record — not screenshots sent over email.
The outcome
Timelancer now hosts a healthy freelancer community with marketplace liquidity sustained on repeat clients.
