We operate unique online marketplaces. They allow
resources to be hired very precisely, cheaply and conveniently. Because these are open markets, they can expand economic activity at the base of the income pyramid.
Users may be a company that need 10 extra workers just for 2
hours, a householder who wants a cleaner for 90 minutes or a manufacturer that
wants storage space but only for 2 days. We enable open markets: anyone can
sell, on their own terms, at times of their choosing.
New resources
Our markets bring new
resources into the economy. We serve people who can’t hold down a job but do
have odd hours they want to work, anyone with a possession they don’t need at
the moment but someone else might pay to hire.
Currently these are
fantastically complex transactions: time consuming with multiple risks and
overheads. We have sophisticated but easy to use web technology called
UltraFlexi. It makes these sectors that barely function in most economies at
present effortless, enticing and ultra low-cost. That expands economic activity
which delivers social, political and business benefits.
We are a British Social
Enterprise company. Our work is based on 14 years research into how
sophisticated new technologies can be used to increase activity at the bottom
of the economic pyramid. We work in partnership with governments, corporates
and foundations to bring this empowering new tool to people who too often have
been bypassed by the opportunities offered by new technologies.
