Directorist - Post Your Need

Directorist - Post Your Need is an addon for the Directorist directory and listings plugin that enables users to create reverse directory functionality. Instead of businesses posting their services, this addon allows customers and clients to post their needs, requests, or requirements, which businesses can then respond to or bid on. This creates a marketplace dynamic where service providers can discover potential customers actively seeking their offerings.
