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

  1. 01

    Built a marketplace, a desktop time tracker, an invoicing engine, and Stripe payments on a single data model.

  2. 02

    Designed escrow-backed milestones so clients get work-in-progress proof and freelancers get paid on time.

  3. 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.
