What is a Multi-Sided Platform?

Multi-sided platforms create a central hub where buyers, sellers, and other stakeholders seamlessly interact, fostering mutually beneficial connections. Famous platforms like Uber and Airbnb exemplify how connecting multiple user groups in one space can generate value.

The concept often originates from an entrepreneurial journey. Imagine an entrepreneur who runs a successful business and recognizes the opportunity to scale her influence beyond her individual business by building a collaborative marketplace. She decides to build a platform where other businesses, like the one she previously managed, can connect with their clients. She transitions from managing a business to orchestrating a dynamic ecosystem, earning a margin from every transaction that occurs on the platform.

In academic terms, a multi-sided platform enables different groups of users to interact and transact with each other more efficiently. It serves as an information aggregator for the industry, streamlining processes that would typically require extensive communication, asset preparation, and activity coordination.

With the platform in place, businesses (the supply side) can focus on meeting the needs of their customers (the demand side) more effectively, as many traditional barriers are eliminated. The platform provides a set of standardized rules and processes, allowing business transactions to be conducted more smoothly and autonomously.

For end-clients, this means they can actively participate in shaping the deals they are interested in, while businesses can respond quickly and efficiently. The result is a reduction in transaction costs for all participants, fueling industry-wide growth and fostering innovation.

By lowering costs and simplifying interactions, multi-sided platforms play a significant role in advancing industries to a new level, driving economic efficiency and fostering innovation.

MSP: What to Expect?

What to expect during the development phase?

While we manage the technical aspects of development, your business knowledge remains essential. Our process is collaborative, not fully autonomous. We collect requirements from you and plan each step together, ensuring alignment with your goals. Before development begins, we prepare an architectural design for the future platform. Once development starts, we follow agile methodologies, providing you with demos every one to two weeks, keeping you informed and involved throughout the process.

Development timelines depend on the complexity of the solution:

  • Simplified versions: 2–3 months.
  • Fully functional platforms: 7–9 months.

Even after development, we can remain your tech partner, offering ongoing support and enhancements for a revenue share. This typical arrangement ensures that we remain invested in your platform’s growth potential.
