DeliveryDesk: Client Handover & Escrow Portal
A B2B software delivery portal that eliminates freelancer payment disputes by gating source code and handover documentation behind automated milestone invoice clearance.
Software agencies and freelance engineers frequently face non-payment or delayed settlements after delivering work via unstructured channels (ZIP files, Google Drive links, or raw Git access) before final payment clears.
Architected a multi-tenant project handover portal where agencies organize a standardized 12-section technical documentation package, source code archives, and training materials behind an automated payment webhook clearance gate.
Designed a dual-state portal experience: while unpaid, clients see an interactive watermarked teaser view with demo video, test result badges, and high-level summaries. When payment clears via webhook, full documentation, Git tokens, and bound PDF exports unlock automatically.
Automated escrow clearance requires robust webhook idempotency and fault-tolerant event retries to ensure credentials and access keys never fail to unlock upon payment confirmation.
The Industry Problem
Software delivery is plagued by two structural flaws: clients fear paying before seeing proof, while engineers fear handing over code before payment is secure. DeliveryDesk acts as an automated delivery escrow gateway.
The 12-Section Handover Engine
Standardizes technical delivery into twelve professional modules including Technical Architecture, Database Schemas, API Reference, Runbooks, Panel Defense Q&A, and Acceptance Signoff.
