Create a request

The marketplace: clients come to you

Clients create a request (trade, city, photos, urgency). You see it if it matches your trades and area, you reply with a clear quote, the client compares and chooses. Every completed job earns a real review.

The Pro space: your management software

Service catalogue, A4 quotes and invoices, job sites with steps and photos, shared tracking with the client, planning, client book, expenses, stock, hours, profitability and accounting export — for all your clients, even those who do not come from Bnilik.

Your journey in 12 steps

In the order you will live them. Each step links to the matching screen once you are logged in.

    Reply with a clear quote

    Chat and set an appointment

    Messaging opens with the client: text, photos, voice messages. The client can request an appointment from your profile; you accept, decline or move it, respecting your unavailabilities.

    • Appointment requests to accept or move
    • Unavailabilities (holidays, job sites) respected automatically

    Run the job site

    Each job site has its steps, before/after photos, hours, finger-signed intervention reports and history. You share a tracking link with the client, without ever revealing the exact address.

    • Steps, photos and documents per job site
    • “Bnilik Live” shared tracking the client opens without an account
    • Step validation by the client
    • Automatic review request at the end of the job

    Get paid directly, no intermediary

    The client pays you in cash or by transfer, directly. One declares the payment, the other confirms: Bnilik never touches your money and takes no commission.

    • Payments declared and confirmed by both parties
    • Bank details shared with the client only after an accepted quote
    • Deposit / steps / balance schedule
    • Receipt to print or send on WhatsApp

    Build your reputation

    Every job completed through Bnilik invites the client to leave a real review. You can reply publicly, once. Your rating and trust star attract the next clients — without advertising.

    • Public reply from the artisan
    • Review request on WhatsApp in one tap

Everything works from your phone

Bnilik is designed for the phone first: tab bar, “+” button to create a quote, a job site or an invoice in two taps, voice messaging, check-in on arrival. On site or in the van, everything is within thumb reach.

What Bnilik does not do

  • Bnilik takes no commission on your jobs and never touches your clients' money.
  • The “Verified” badge cannot be bought: it is earned through a check by the team.
  • Ranking cannot be bought: it is built with real reviews and a complete profile.
  • No fake reviews, no invented figures: everything you see comes from real jobs.
