Case Study: Almarelo launches a scalable online marketplace connecting retired professionals and small businesses with eXo Platform

Almarelo Redefines Retirement with an Innovative Online Jobs Marketplace

Almarelo is building an online marketplace to help Baby Boomers and experienced knowledge workers join the gig economy while giving small and medium businesses affordable access to skilled talent. Faced with rapid demographic change and the need to move quickly, Almarelo chose eXo Platform for its social collaboration features, rich profiles and customizable application container, and engaged eXo Platform consulting to accelerate development.

Using eXo Platform building blocks, Almarelo delivered a feature-rich marketplace—profiles, bidding, project spaces with calendars, documents, wikis and discussions, and customizable dashboards—completed in just over nine months with eXo Platform’s help. The platform is now in pre-launch with strong reception and targets onboarding 1,000 businesses and 3,000–4,000 freelancers in 3–6 months, with potential for tens of thousands of projects per year within three years, demonstrating measurable scale and fast time-to-market.
