Temporary Staffing & Appointment Platform
A full-scale temporary staffing and appointment management platform built around separate employer and worker portals. The system spans mobile app interfaces and a web-based admin dashboard for managing shifts, bookings, appointments, offers, chat, invoicing and specialist profiles.
Project overview
At a glance
Our client needed a temporary staffing platform that could match employers and workers in real time.
We shipped two mobile apps plus an admin console with shift matching, chat, invoicing and payouts.
The platform turns ad-hoc staffing into a smooth, accountable operation.
What we solved
Real challenges, real solutions
- 1
Employers struggled to fill last-minute shifts because matching workers was manual and slow.
- 2
Workers missed opportunities and pay was inconsistent due to fragmented timekeeping and invoicing.
- 3
Operations had no real-time view of fill rates, disputes or compliance across the workforce.
Our approach
How we worked
We started with the matching engine and offer flow because they make or break a staffing platform. Then we layered chat, scheduling, time tracking and invoicing on top, validated each milestone with pilot employers and workers before going live.

Technical breakdown
How we built it
The platform is composed of two React Native mobile apps (employer and worker), a Next.js admin console and a Node.js + Nest API backed by MySQL and Redis. Employers post shifts with required skills, location, time window and pay rate; the matching engine ranks workers by skill, distance, rating and historical reliability and pushes targeted offers. Workers see offers in real time and can accept, decline or counter, with notifications sent via push, SMS and email. The scheduling layer handles recurring shifts, conflict detection and timezone normalisation. Time tracking, approvals and rate calculations feed automated invoicing and payouts via Stripe. Real-time chat between employer and worker uses WebSockets with offline message queues. Specialist profiles include certifications, documents, ratings and references, all moderated through admin tooling. Admins oversee KYC, compliance, dispute resolution, pricing rules and platform analytics. Strong observability and on-call rotations ensure shift fulfilment around the clock.
Impact & results
What we delivered
Average shift fill time dropped sharply, payouts are automated and on time, and dispute volume is low thanks to clear audit trails for hours, ratings and payments.
