Technology has evolved over the years with the 20th century contributing majority of technological advancement especially in the information technology domain. This growth has saw a large number of firms and companies sprouting out in the late 20th century offering vast range of services and products such as enterprise software, mathematical computation software, mobile devices, IT services, web services etc.
The software industry amounts to billions of dollars and keeps increasing annually as the demand keep increasing. As the demand keeps increasing, freelancer software developers have stepped in to fill demand as most corporate firms can’t possibly meet all. Freelancers work on demand and most corporate firms now prefer to make use of them because of several benefits attached such as lower costs as there is no need to provide office space, hire them full time amongst others. The demand for the services of freelancing is increasing, this has led to the establishing of a central market for those selling their services and those buying. Most amongst them are fiverr and upwork.
Introduction.
Leonardian is a single marketplace/platform that provides a direct connection/link(peer to peer) between Clients who need digital assets and services and the Providers who offer such. This covers everything from graphical, audio, video, 3D etc. to custom built products and services upon request.
Why do we need it/What problems does it want to solve?
The current marketplace for these products and services although has being working smoothly providing some good opportunities, but it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have its own cons and slight disadvantages both to the clients and freelancers (product and service providers). Some of the major challenges faced by the providers of these services includes but not limited to the high commission charged by the marketplace providers. Some charge you up to 30% of your sales revenue. It can be as well be up to 70% of your revenue leaving you with a meagre sum after sales. As at august 2017, fiverr.com charged up to 20% per order you get. To some new comers in the freelancing business, this sum might be too much. This also applies to those having software product for sale.
The current marketplace has a sort of algorithm that promotes top services providers (those with more sales and high number of rating and reviews). This makes it extremely difficult for new comers in the business to rack in sales. Most times, preference is given to country location of service provider. Making it difficult for some providers in some certain location to compete with their American and European counterpart.
Even after scaling through these hurdles, providers are faced with delayed payment. It might take up to a month to get eventually paid. These are other problems are what saturated the current marketplace. Leonardian aims to be the perfect solution to these problems among others.
How does the Leonardian plan to solve the problem above.?
By eliminating the need for the need for intermediaries, offering low commission charge and giving a full transparent platform based on the blockchain technology, Leonardian hopes to solve the above problems by offering flat fee of 8% as against the nominal 20+% commission charge on all product or services sold.
As against the 30+ days it takes to pay providers their fee, Leonardian is promising an instant payment of fee upon transaction completion. This means you get to withdraw your money immediately after you’ve delivered or completed a transaction.
New comers can feel safe and have a guaranteed assurance of increased growth as Leonardian promises a fair algorithm that randomizes offers giving new comers the opportunity to compete on a level ground.
