Hello! Thank you so much for your kind offer. I am trying to solve a problem I am experiencing at work (in the restaurant industry). Essentially I need a simple solution that 1. allows for stakeholders (in our case managers/chefs) to place a request for a service such as a broken cabinet or a broken fridge 2. I would then like that service request to get pushed out to a pool of vendors that we've vetted to be able to perform x niche service via a simple Trello like system. There are obviously other logistics such as paying the vendor after etc and on-going booking management but I can't seem to understand why such a product doesn't exist. I've seen things like ShareTribe and Launch27 but nothing that is as simple as this. I almost envision an intake form sheet --> pumped into Trello --> alert pool of people if a card hits within a certain list --> allow the person interested to claim and complete the job --> payment issued.

Many of the options out there overcomplicate this. Think Handy.com but much less intense.

I wrote a platform a while back that does exactly this, had it running for a couple of months until I got bored of trying to manage vendors. Email me at apehx@protonmail.com, it might be exactly what you're looking for.
I can build that. Send me a mail - e431415@gmail.com with the details.
