With an estimated 191 million Americans either buying or providing services from another individual annually, the person-to-person “gig” economy has never been stronger. From traditional freelance and design work, to landscaping, fitness instruction, coaching and pet sitting, Americans are dealing with each other increasingly for their service needs.
Despite the strength of the person-to-person service sector, however, far often than not a buyer and provider don’t get the terms of their service arrangement in writing. Contracts are often looked at as menacing or the “ask” by one individual wanting a contract comes across to the other party as heavy-handed. The historical lack of an easy-to-use agreement platform, combined with the stigma associated with a contract, leads many individuals to rely solely on conversation, text, email or blind hope that what they want to have happen will in fact transpire.
Quiktract solves this problem for buyers and providers with a simple platform to get service agreements in writing, amend them in real time, and facilitate payment at the end of the job. Protection, accountability and peace of mind are delivered to the parties via a process that generally takes under 60 seconds and delivers an enforceable agreement for every job. Most importantly, the Quiktract process doesn’t feel heavy handed and in fact can be embraced as protective by buyer and provider alike.
Quiktract’s simplicity, intuitiveness and ease of use, combined with the protection it provides, will ensure that the days of uncertainty, uneasiness and potential conflict in the personal service space are destined to be a thing of the past.
