IIUM Freelance: Secure Payment Transaction by Service Progress via Mobile Application

Freelancing entails individuals offering their services to clients or businesses on a contractual basis, rather than being employed by a single employer. Freelancers typically work remotely and may serve multiple clients simultaneously. However, there's often a lack of digital platforms to promote skills and meet consumer demands, leading to challenges in offering the qualified services for the clients and demand supply matching task. To address these issues, the IIUM Freelance platform was developed to cater to both clients and consumers satisfaction. The objectives of this application include designing an e-commerce-like platform to simplify the process of finding suitable talent or offering the talents to the market. The design includes the secure payment transaction process by monitoring the progress of the task. Rapid Application Development (RAD) was chosen as the methodology due to its flexibility and quick iteration capabilities, making it faster and more convenient to resolve issues during the development process. Through research and testing, the IIUM Freelance Platform was successfully built using the Dart language under the Flutter. Therefore, the development of the IIUM Freelance is crucial and useful towards the increasing of employment rate and security of the payment transaction decision since the release payment depends on the task monitoring.
