ProofBind IT Solutions, a Dubai-based tech company, partnered with Dork Industry to develop Yottaf, a secure and scalable classified ads and product listing platform tailored for the UAE market. The project was outsourced to us to build from scratch a mobile-first application like OLX — but with enhanced trust, verification, and security layers.
The Challenge
In the UAE, users commonly posted buy/sell ads on platforms like Facebook Marketplace. However, increased frauds, scams, and fake listings made it difficult for genuine buyers and sellers to trust each other.
There was no dedicated, locally trusted classified ads app where users could securely post, browse, and interact with confidence. This gap inspired the client to build Yottaf — a private, verified, and community-focused platform for classifieds.
Objectives
Create a user-friendly classified app with clean UI/UX
Allow users to post, manage, and search ads easily
Integrate user verification features for trust
Enable chat and inquiry system within the platform
Build a powerful admin panel to monitor listings, users, and categories
Optimize for performance and scalability
