LimeExchange Living the Lime Group Vision

With the global launch of LimeExchange, we are moving outsourcing to the next level by going beyond matchmaking, and bringing the power of peer to peer outsourcing & social networking to the on-demand services marketplace model.

Other outsourcing services take a pure matchmaking approach, that is, they focus only on transactions between service providers and buyers. While these nascent sites established the groundwork for outsourcing, it was a relatively cold exchange. We liken them to “ebay” for outsourcing. Our vision at LimeExchange is innovative and creative in that we are moving beyond the traditional matchmaking model and integrating social network.

LimeExchange Difference

Today people want tools and technologies that allow them to forge close and lasting relationships online. LimeExchange provides opportunities for service providers and buyers to develop and forge strong social relationships with each other. This allows an opportunity for business relationships to develop naturally, in a personalized manner.
The Market is in continuous flux; however the demand for outsourced talent is growing exponentially. As global barriers are broken down by the power of the internet, talent demand increases and the existing service provider pool becomes far more accessible than ever before.

LimeExchange offers an opportunity to capitalize on this demand in simpler ways than previously offered in this space. For instance, we offer free registrations, project posting, and project bidding. But what is really unique about LimeExchange is on the social end; we cultivate and support user partnerships via affiliations programs, knowledge forums, blog contests, and by providing access to the community driven knowledgebase. In addition, we provide the user with integrated relationship management and delivery monitoring tools. Our in-house IT is unparalleled in quality and skill to bring you the best experience possible.

We are truly living the Lime Group and LimeExchange vision: we believe sharing and collaboration starts in-house first and that fun and work can and do go together; it proliferates an environment of “out of box” thinking. LimeExchange truly is the new socially networked marketplace.
