To ensure they complete their projects quickly, Freemodel onboards general contractors in advance, and quickly assembles a pre-verified team whenever a renovation is needed.  Their business model hinges on having a large number of pre-verified contractors at their disposal, but the team quickly found that license verification and onboarding was a huge obstacle. To verify a new contractor Freemodel's internal team had to manually guide each company through a lengthy, high-touch verification process. Multiply this by hundreds of contractors each month and there was simply no way to scale their business.  Their manual process also resulted in an unacceptable amount of contractor churn. In a typical month only about 50% of trade partners actually completed the verification process, slowing company growth and jeopardizing ongoing projects.  To achieve their growth targets the team knew they needed a  better solution to verify, onboard, and manage their contractors. ## The Solution #### Turn-key Business Verification at Scale While searching for new contractors on the Houzz marketplace, the Freemodel team noticed that many of the companies had a “verified by Mesh” checkmark next to their name. Intrigued, Freemodel contacted Mesh to learn more about their license verification process. Within 2 days the team at Mesh had created a pilot project to help Freemodel streamline their contractor license verification process.   [![Freemodel Case Study](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/22333211/6fdeea3a-7d9f-43e7-9849-4062b3f96e57.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/22333211/6fdeea3a-7d9f-43e7-9849-4062b3f96e57)   [** Previous Post](https://meshverify.com/resources/case-study-houzz-build-trust-and-increase-connections-by-35) [View All](https://meshverify.com/resources) [Next Post **](https://meshverify.com/resources/customer-testimonial-quick-snaps-alhadeff-group) ### Related Posts [![Why I Joined Mesh: The Mission And The Data](https://meshverify.com/hubfs/Blog%20Post%20Images/Blog%20Post%20Thumbnails/Blog%20Post%20Thumbnail%20Linkedin%20Andres.png) ](https://meshverify.com/resources/why-i-joined-mesh-andresbenvenuto) 2 min read [Blog Post](https://meshverify.com/resources/tag/blog-post) ##### [Why I Joined Mesh: The Mission And The Data](https://meshverify.com/resources/why-i-joined-mesh-andresbenvenuto) By [Andres Benvenuto](https://meshverify.com/resources/author/andres-benvenuto) on April 5, 2024 The Power of Mission-Driven Data Throughout my career, I've been privileged to work with several data-driven companies...
