Both. Solo operators use the customer app and a simple dashboard; teams add scheduling, routes and staff accounts.

A service business needs both sides — a customer app and an owner dashboard — which is exactly what the Platinum build is.
3. How long does it take?
About eight weeks, with weekly builds on your phone throughout.
