Rentiful represents a new and modern concept of sharing economy, a web platform through which goods and services are rented.
It offers a peer-to-peer market to better use the objects that people already own and do not want to sell. The main purpose of this ad website is to connect people who want to share resources. Rentiful is an ad application oriented towards a sustainable economy and not to a consumption-based one. The web platform is multifunctional and dynamically structured so that each user benefits from the advantages of renting goods and providing services. Each user can at the same time be a beneficiary and a provider. Through the website, Rentiful members create a secure community for common use of products and micro-jobs.
This complex property rental system eliminates the costs of the classic property regime. Also, the service rental process connects users directly to different tasks. Rentiful appreciates the collective and social benefits and promotes a more sustainable way of consumption. The advantages of the platform users are on all sides, both for the beneficiary and for the provider. By listing available items for renting and specifying certain services they can provide, users have the opportunity to earn money and protect the environment. At the same time, they can save important amounts by borrowing other items they need or hiring Rentiful community members to perform certain tasks.
