What is The

17hats MArketplace?

Rising Above the Noise

In the world of 3-second reels, it's difficult for the buyer to identify who the great business people with real-world experience are. Talking about creating a 6-figure business and actually having one are two different things. Are they teaching because they have lived it, or are they teaching regurgitated ideas from books and other educators? It is simply too difficult to know who is credible. This is exactly why we created our Marketplace.

Powerful Combination

Our vision for the Marketplace is immense and a vital component of the original vision of 17hats. We want to help small business owners succeed beyond just providing technology. Creating an ecosystem of trusted professionals to connect with through technology and human-to-human interaction creates a powerful combination destined to help so many.  

Vetted Partners

We are committed to a high standard, so buyers know that they are putting their hard-earned dollars into trusted products and partners.

Journey Together

The journey of solopreneurship can be lonely, overwhelming, and frustrating. So let's be on it together. Within the Marketplace, we will continually expand to a diverse group of successful sellers, so that each buyer can connect with relatable educators and creators.
"The templates I created are from years of crafting my own process. I love being able to help others get their businesses under control."

Better Flow = More Conversions

Converting leads into clients is the #1 priority for a business. Don't overcomplicate essential documents like quotes or proposals that cause leads to get overwhelmed and confused, leading to a lower conversion rate.

17hats Quotes, Contracts, and Invoices are easy to set up and even easier for your clients to sign and pay. Use advanced features automatic payments to get paid more and even faster than before.

Workflows Trigger Workflows

Set up Workflows to trigger other Workflows so as soon as your new client books with you, they are set to have an excellent client experience. You won't find this feature any where else but 17hats.

SUSTAINABILITY:
Relying on a Complete Rewrite
"We started planning a complete rewrite of the platform, a project that we estimate will take about six months of our full focus to complete." -Becca Berg, CEO of Dubsado
SUSTAINABILITY: 
Built to Last
We have built 17hats from the ground up with sustainability in mind. With decades of experience in developments, sustainability was a value from the start.
It is not something that can be achieved in 6 months.
RELIABILITY: 
"Mission-critical bugs for now"
"Given our focus on the rewrite, we've strategically decided to address only mission-critical bugs for now." -Becca Berg, CEO of Dubsado
RELIABILITY: 
Process That Works
Because of our extensive experience in tech, we have created a process that allows for quick communication between teams which in result means fast development and fixes. Bugs and small glitches are a part of technology, which is why we have invested in a sustainable process for fast results.
DEVELOPMENT: 
Setting Foundations for Future
"Instead of building new features and updates, we’ll be refreshing and improving all of our code so that future development can be much faster and easier for our team, allowing us to finally start bringing you the updates and features we’ve all been so excited for.." -Becca Berg, CEO of Dubsado
DEVELOPMENT: 
Continuous Improvement
With a close knit team, our developers and testers work together to continuously improve the platform. While new features are always fun, we are also always improving speed, user experience, infrastructure, integrations, and updating to new technologies. We know it takes a lot more than just new features to keep a tech business solid.

Inside the Application

While interest is always in features, there so much more to consider. Anyone can have features, but can they have features that are in-depth, consistently deliver, and work together?

DEPTH: 
Customization Focused
Dubsado allows for the the ability to make things pretty with their form builder. However, usability and reliability seems to be lacking.
DEPTH: 
Automation Focused
With a vision focused around allowing you to gain hours back in your day, we create in-depth features that allow you to automate your workload.
INTERCONNECTIVITY:
Lackluster
Dubsado lacks interconnectivity between features which doesn't allow for full automation.
INTERCONNECTIVITY:
Advanced
Our team strives to understand how our members will use the features and functions, which allows us to develop connections that allow you to take full advantage of time-saving automations.
PUBLIC ROADMAP:
Yes, but ...
While Dubsado may have had a public roadmap, what good does it do when it seems that nothing on the roadmap actually ever gets done?
PUBLIC ROADMAP:
No and For Good Reason
We love to surprise our members with features, but more importantly, needs are always changing. With annual and quarterly meetings, we evaluate the needs and requests to make decisions.

And, frankly speaking, external roadmaps are the mark of a new tech company learning the ropes. :)

Experience

Integrating a management system into your business typically means you are logging in multiple times a week, engaging with the community, and maybe even interacting with other members.

USEABILITY:
Confusing and Difficult
"I'm using Dubsado for one of my coaching clients and it's been a real headache to get to grips with." - Former Dubsado Member
USEABILITY:
Easy to Use
While all technologies have a learning curve, because 17hats is built by people with small business and development backgrounds, it is more intuitive for users.
