My Class Depot, a forward-thinking solution designed specifically for freelancers, enables individuals to efficiently manage their time, classes, and finances. Aimed at freelance instructors in various industries, the responsive web app helps users regain control of their scheduling and invoicing, providing seamless automation for day-to-day tasks.
The Challenge
Freelancers, particularly instructors in fields like fitness, yoga, and education, often struggle with managing their busy schedules while keeping track of class payments. Invoicing, keeping class records, and ensuring timely payments can become time-consuming and error-prone. Without a robust system in place, freelance instructors could easily overlook pending payments, miss class schedules, or forget to renew important certifications like liability insurance. My Class Depot, led by a seasoned yoga instructor, identified this challenge and sought to develop a streamlined platform to alleviate these burdens.
