Product Overview
EDemand is a turnkey multi-vendor marketplace platform built for entrepreneurs and agencies launching on-demand home service businesses. The solution connects customers with verified service providers — plumbers, electricians, cleaners, beauty professionals, mechanics, and more — through a seamless booking experience across web and mobile.

Why Choose EDemand?
Most on-demand scripts offer either a web panel or a mobile app — rarely both, and rarely with provider-side tooling. EDemand delivers the full triad: customer app, provider app, and admin panel, all communicating via a single API. The codebase follows Laravel and Flutter best practices, making customization straightforward for development teams. With 15+ service categories pre-configured and a commission engine built for marketplace economics, it’s purpose-built for the unit economics of on-demand services — not a generic directory script retrofitted for bookings.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I add custom service categories beyond the pre-loaded ones?
- Yes. The admin panel lets you create unlimited categories and subcategories with custom fields, pricing models (fixed, hourly, quote-based), and provider onboarding flows.
- Is the source code encrypted or open for modification?
- Full source code is provided for backend, admin panel, and both Flutter apps. No ionCube or obfuscation — you can customize any layer.
- What payment gateways are supported out of the box?
- Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal, and cash on delivery. Additional gateways can be added via Laravel’s payment abstraction layer.
- Do I need separate Apple/Google developer accounts to publish the apps?
- Yes. You’ll need your own Apple Developer Program ($99/yr) and Google Play Console ($25 one-time) accounts to publish under your brand.
- Is multilingual support included for the apps and admin panel?
- Yes. Translation files are structured for easy localization; RTL layout support is built in for Arabic, Hebrew, and other RTL languages.
Conclusion
EDemand eliminates the guesswork of building an on-demand service marketplace from scratch.

Whether you’re launching a city-wide handyman platform, a niche beauty marketplace, or delivering white-label solutions to clients, EDemand gives you the technical foundation to acquire providers, onboard customers, and process bookings from day one.
