STORY

A marketplace for answers.

Platphorm gives businesses a system for building marketplaces where buyers pay sellers for information — delivered live over voice, mail, chat, SMS, or recorded message.

Type “puppy training” and instead of a list of pages you get a list of real people ready to talk: browse profiles, read ratings and reviews, then press Call Now and the system connects you — billed per minute at the price the provider sets.

Punch partnered with Platphorm to design and build the software behind that marketplace — provider profiles, ratings, real-time call routing, and billing — architected for scale and shipped to production with their team.

The hard part isn’t search; it’s trust and connection in real time — the part we cared most about getting right for Platphorm.

“Designed, built, and shipped end to end by Punch.”
