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.

Rad Shifts hero

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 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

APEX compressed a 5-month, 20-person build into 6 weeks with 8 people:

  • Faster Delivery

    3.3x

    6 weeks vs. 5 months

    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

    3x

    8 vs. 20+ engineers

    8 engineers delivered what would traditionally require 20+. APEX amplified each member's output through multi-agent orchestration and automated quality gates.

  • Live & Growing

    Live

    Across Texas

    Rad Shifts is live and actively onboarding facilities and providers across Texas. APEX speed means founders hit the market while their window is still open.

By the numbers

  • 6 weeks vs. 5 months traditional
  • 8 engineers vs. 20+ traditional team
  • 3 platforms — Web, Mobile, Admin portal

Key Features

  • Shift Lifecycle Management

    Facilities create, edit, and cancel shifts from a centralized dashboard. Every shift moves through a clear status pipeline — 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 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.

  • Email Notification System

    SendGrid-driven transactional emails with branded templates and 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: APEX Agentic Engineering

Building a three-sided marketplace — web app, mobile app, and admin portal — with payments, geolocation, background checks, real-time chat, and compliance typically needs 20+ engineers for 5 months. APEX compressed that to 8 people and 6 weeks.

  • Multi-agent workflows through quality-gated stages — architecture, implementation, testing, validation
  • Three parallel workstreams (web, mobile, admin) progressing simultaneously with automated consistency checks
  • PostGIS location intelligence calculating real provider-to-facility distances
  • Stripe Connect payments handling fees, tax considerations, and intelligent retries automatically
  • Healthcare-grade security: biometric auth, comprehensive audit logging, webhook-based verification

The Full Picture

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.
