Presence: a complete on-demand caregiver marketplace

Presence is a production ready platform that connects families with verified in home caregivers, and pays everyone safely through escrow. It ships as one package: a Flutter mobile app for families and caregivers, a Laravel backend with a REST API, a Filament operator admin panel, and a marketing website. Families post a care request and book a trusted caregiver in a few taps; caregivers accept work, clock in at the care address, deliver care and get paid; you, the operator, run verification, disputes, payments and payouts from the admin.

Everything you need, in one package

Flutter app (iOS and Android) with two roles in one binary: family and caregiver.
Laravel REST API backend with token authentication and role scoped abilities.
Filament operator admin panel for the whole business.
Marketing website (Blade and Tailwind) with lead capture wired to the admin.
Web installer and a single page HTML documentation set plus a PDF.

Built in trust and safety

Honest verification levels (ID verified, document reviewed, third party background check). Presence never shows a blanket “verified” badge: families always see exactly how a caregiver was vetted.
Geofenced clock in and clock out for real, timestamped proof of attendance, with off location visits flagged for review.
Escrow payments. Funds are held when a booking is paid and only released to the caregiver after a clean, completed, undisputed visit.
Server computed trust score from completed visits, on time rate, reviews and verification level. It is an audit value the operator can inspect.
Disputes hold escrow until an admin resolves them in the family’s or the caregiver’s favor.

For families

Browse nearby caregivers with trust scores, rates and specialties, or post a request and let caregivers come to you.
Pay securely into escrow, follow the visit timeline, and message your caregiver in real time.
Review completed care, raise a dispute if something is wrong, and manage everything from a clean account area.

For caregivers

See open requests nearby, accept the ones that fit, and build a verified profile that families trust.
Clock in and out on site, chat with the family, and track earnings and payouts.
Upload credentials, request payouts, and connect a bank account or payout provider.

For the operator (admin)

Review the verification queue, approve identity, and manage renewal due credentials.
Oversee care requests, bookings, payments, payouts and disputes, with escrow status on every payment.
Broadcast an announcement by push, email and in app to everyone, a role, or specific people.
Configure commission, geofence radius, branding and more from a platform settings page.

Payments, notifications and reach

Payments and payouts through Stripe and Paystack, with a built in manual mode for demos. Money is stored in integer cents with a clean commission split.
Real time chat, push notifications, email, and an admin broadcast tool.
Email OTP registration and a forgot and reset password flow.
Seven languages with full right to left support (English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Tagalog, Mandarin, Arabic).

Technology

A Flutter mobile app talks to a Laravel backend with a Filament admin, backed by MySQL. The app is offline first for demos and switches to the live API with a single build flag. Clean architecture, real tests, and honest “no fake success” providers throughout, so real payment, mail and push services drop in behind config without touching the app.

Optional third party services and costs

Presence runs out of the box on bundled demo data with zero third party accounts. Only the core install (PHP, a database, an app key and migrations) is required. The following integrations are all optional and each is a separate sign up.

Stripe or Paystack: real card payments and payouts. Leave the keys blank to use the built in manual settlement.
Firebase Cloud Messaging: mobile push. The in app notification feed works without it.
Mail (SMTP or a REST mail API): transactional email. Defaults to the log driver.
Supoora: an optional live chat support widget. It stays hidden when no key is set.

Important: any fees charged by these providers (Stripe, Paystack, Firebase, mail and similar) are billed by that provider under your own account and are not included in the price of this item.

Documentation and setup

A web installer walks non technical buyers through requirements, database and the first admin account, with a lock file so it cannot be re run by accident. The included documentation is a single, self contained page with a sidebar, a product tour with screenshots, install and configuration steps that each state the expected outcome, a clear separation of mandatory setup from optional integrations, a rebranding guide, an architecture overview, troubleshooting and an FAQ, plus a PDF version. You can go live in about ten minutes with no coding.
