My idea is for my marketplace, the Beg&Borrow platform (app and or website) that will facilitate people sharing their possessions among trusted friends and existing community groups.
I need it to have 5 functions:
1. Creation and admin of sharing groups
2. Listing of items that are available to be borrowed
3. Requesting items that you would like to borrow (that are not listed already)
4. Facilitate the sharing transaction (request, lend, borrow, return, disputes / issues, messaging)
5. Reporting and monitoring of activity
Aim is to build a platform as a proof of concept no more than 3000 users – but should be scalable. If it can be built off an existing web platform (word press or other white label solution) this would be a preference.

They offer a 30-day trial in the event that you’re looking to prove out a concept without an investment.
The only parts of the marketplace brief that Sharetribe doesn’t meet are the group feature and an advanced analytics feature (although you could use Google Analytics for your marketplace).
A hosted tool like Mighty Networks would work for the shared groups feature but isn’t able to facilitate monetary transactions at the moment…unless you wanted to monetise by allowing access for a fixed price per month.

There’s an overused quote about building a better mousetrap leading to people knocking down your door that applies to a microbakery in my area.

Having a meeting room booking calendar for your team will ensure that you can easily book your conference room and not have the hassle of overlapping bookings or not knowing whether a room is available.
With the rise of self-service booking platforms, like Acuity, people are able to automate their weekly sales meeting bookings but often not in the most efficient way. You might have a full calendar with appointments zig-zagging across town and no travel minimisation strategies in place. One strategy that we recommend to clients is to set …
