We are at a pivotal point, as the legacy IT systems, and software is changing, blurring, and growing with competition and options with cloud and on-demand web and mobile app development. Creating marketplace applications for the sharing economy is complex, profitable, and uniquely designed to give individuals the opportunity to be service providers. It is the future. Think of the success of Uber, Airbnb, and Etsy. So what should you be looking for in a mobile app development partner if you are interested in building a marketplace platform that wants to disrupt the market within your industry?
We at BitCot have been fortunate to work with a number of companies that are creating applications for the two-sided marketplace. In the spirit of sharing, here are eight functional suggestions for handling the complexities of a marketplace application.
As predicted by PwC, the sharing economy industry will reach $335 billion by 2025, up from $18 billion in 2017. While the sharing economy has been tremendously beneficial for society by enabling individuals to supplement their incomes and lowering costs for consumers, the industry is run by centralized platforms.

From the developers’ perspective, it is important to first decide if the idea is best suited for mobile or web platforms or both and work towards maturing the platform in building and scaling up the platform. One of the most important things to consider when building the platform is the ability to iterate fast and speed to market with changes for growth.
Here are some examples of on-demand web and mobile applications, we at BitCot have developed that are two-sided marketplaces.
