Located in the Netherlands, the client required a platform where anyone can find expert assistance online. The client has helped many people get online video assistance for their different needs, including craft, taxes, laws, finance, etc. Being a trusted technology partner, we helped the client create its marketplace for consultants with secure video-conferencing capabilities. As a Microsoft Gold Partner, we used the Microsoft technology stack for developing and deploying the online platform. Once built and deployed, the web application helped users get specialized assistance for different needs anytime and enabled consultants to unlock new revenue streams. 
Business Needs
The client came up with an idea why not someone should get paid for their skills. They wanted to develop a video conferencing application where service providers from different region across the globe can connect with service seekers in need of consultancy and the experts would be paid for their consultation. The application needed to allow the experts to register their credentials on the application wherefrom they could earn handsomely by offering their services to the people who needed them. The client wanted the below features to be available in the application:- Private appointment with experts
- Expert assistance online from anywhere
- Knowing experts and their techniques
- Expert registration for services

Strategy & Solution
Our experts developed Knowbles platform which allows a user to search and connect with consultants across the globe by a video call. These consultants can be from different genres that can seek and give consultation to/from other users (experts). Users can view the profile of consultant with the details like consultant name, picture, consultation charges, etc.
Services provided by the consultants would be paid; they will set their charges and get paid once the called meeting is over. User can add their credit card details to make payments to the experts and avail future services of experts from the platform.
