Built with APEX
Healthcare Staffing
Marketplace Delivered 3x Faster
A three-sided platform — facility web app, provider mobile app, and admin portal — connecting radiologic technologists with hospitals across Texas. Built in 6 weeks instead of 5 months.
The Client
Solving Radiology Staffing Shortages in Texas
Rad Shifts is a healthcare staffing marketplace that solves a persistent problem in medical imaging: staffing shortages at small hospitals and outpatient imaging centers across Texas. When a facility can't staff a radiology shift, imaging services shut down — patients get rescheduled, revenue disappears, and care gets delayed.
Rad Shifts needed a platform that would let facilities post open shifts and find qualified, licensed radiologic technologists fast. Not through recruiters or staffing agencies, but through a direct marketplace where providers browse nearby opportunities, apply instantly, and get paid automatically.
The scope was significant — a facility web app, a provider mobile app, and an admin portal for compliance and oversight. A traditional development team would estimate 5 months and 20+ people. The founder needed to launch faster than that.
We delivered the entire platform in 6 weeks with an 8-person team, powered by our APEX agentic engineering system. Rad Shifts is now live and actively onboarding facilities and providers across Texas.
What APEX Made Possible
Building an AI-powered healthcare platform required specialists who understood both the technology and the domain.
Faster Delivery
A three-sided marketplace with payments, geolocation, compliance, and real-time communication — delivered in 6 weeks instead of the industry-standard 5 months.
Smaller Team
8 engineers delivered what would traditionally require a team of 20+. APEX amplified each team member's output through multi-agent orchestration and automated quality gates.
Launched & Growing
Rad Shifts is live and actively onboarding facilities and providers across Texas. The speed APEX provides means founders hit the market while their window is still open.
Key Features
Everything a Healthcare Staffing Marketplace Needs
Shift Lifecycle Management
Facilities create, edit, and cancel shifts from a centralized dashboard. Every shift moves through a clear status pipeline — from open to filled to completed — with full visibility at each stage.
Geolocation-Based Shift Discovery
Providers see available shifts near them, ranked by distance. PostGIS-powered proximity search means a technologist in Houston sees Houston shifts first, not listings across the state.
Stripe Connect Payment Pipeline
Automated payouts flow directly to providers after shift completion. Platform fees are calculated and processed automatically, with retry logic for failed transactions.
Real-Time Chat
Direct messaging between facilities and providers. Coordinate last-minute details, confirm arrival times, or handle questions without leaving the platform.
Background Check Integration
Automated KarmaCheck verification runs during provider onboarding. Webhook-based status tracking keeps credential reviews moving without manual follow-up.
Biometric Authentication
Fingerprint and Face ID login on the provider mobile app. Healthcare credentials deserve more than a password — biometric auth adds security without adding friction.
Push Notification System
FCM v1 with OAuth2 delivers real-time alerts for new shifts, application updates, and status changes. Providers never miss an opportunity because they weren't checking the app.
Email Notification System
SendGrid-driven transactional emails with branded templates. Per-category preferences — shift confirmations, payment receipts, application updates — so inboxes stay relevant.
Credential & Compliance Management
Centralized view of every provider's licenses, certifications, and background check status. Incident tracking and audit logging keep the platform compliant.
Provider Profile Management
Technologists maintain detailed profiles — certifications, specializations, availability, work history. Facilities review profiles before accepting applications.
The Technology Behind It
Why APEX Made This Possible
APEX Agentic Engineering
Building a three-sided marketplace — web app, mobile app, and admin portal — with payment processing, geolocation, background checks, real-time chat, and compliance management typically requires a team of 20+ engineers working for 5 months.
APEX compressed that to 8 people and 6 weeks. Our agentic engineering system orchestrates multi-agent workflows through quality-gated stages. Instead of a single developer writing code with AI assistance, APEX coordinates specialized agents for architecture, implementation, testing, and validation — each with built-in quality gates that catch issues before they compound.
For Rad Shifts, this meant three parallel workstreams — facility web app, provider mobile app, and admin portal — progressing simultaneously with automated consistency checks across all three.
Direct Marketplace Model
Facilities post shifts, providers apply, and the platform handles verification, communication, and payment. No middleman markup — both sides get more control and transparency.
Location Intelligence
PostGIS spatial queries calculate real distances between providers and facilities. Search results reflect who can actually get to a shift on time, not just who's on the platform.
Payments That Just Work
Stripe Connect handles different rates, platform fees, and tax considerations automatically. Failed payments retry intelligently instead of falling into a manual queue.
Healthcare-Grade Security
Biometric authentication on mobile, comprehensive audit logging, and webhook-based verification flows keep compliance checks automated and traceable.
Mobile-First Provider Experience
Flutter-based mobile app designed for quick interactions — check nearby shifts, apply with a tap, track status, get paid. Riverpod state management and GoRouter navigation keep it fast.
Modern Web Platform
Next.js with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS for the facility dashboard. shadcn/ui components keep the interface clean. Shifts, applications, chat, and payments — all in one place.

Key Deliverables
Facility Web Application
Facilities manage their entire staffing workflow from one dashboard — create shifts, discover providers, review applications, communicate in real time, and process payments through Stripe Connect.
Provider Mobile Application
Radiologic technologists find nearby shifts through geolocation search, apply instantly, manage their credentials and profile, and track earnings — all from a Flutter app secured with biometric authentication.
Admin Portal
Platform administrators review credentials and background checks, manage users across both sides of the marketplace, oversee shift activity, handle incidents, and maintain the audit trail that healthcare compliance requires.
Payment Infrastructure
End-to-end Stripe Connect integration handles provider payouts, platform fee processing, and transaction retry logic — turning healthcare staffing payments from a manual headache into an automated pipeline.

The Full Picture
From Concept to Live Platform in 6 Weeks
Our collaboration with Rad Shifts is a clear demonstration of what APEX makes possible. The founder came to us with a well-defined problem — radiology staffing shortages — and needed a production-ready marketplace fast enough to capitalize on the opportunity.
Traditional development would have meant months of waiting, a larger team to coordinate, and the risk of launching into a market that had moved on. With APEX, we compressed that timeline to 6 weeks without compromising on the things that matter — payment security, compliance, performance, and user experience across three distinct platforms.
The marketplace model works because it benefits both sides. Facilities get fast access to a vetted pool of licensed technologists without agency fees. Providers get geographic flexibility, transparent pay, and a professional profile that follows them across engagements.
This wasn't about cutting corners to ship faster. It was about using a better engineering system — one that eliminates the waste in traditional development — to deliver a complete, production-grade platform at startup speed.
