Lainappi is a mobile application for peer2peer rental services. We provide a platform for consumers to safely rent household items from each other. Many items, such as tools, sports equipment, and cleaning gadgets serve low frequency of use for their owners. With Lainappi one can earn extra by renting out the items when they don’t need them. On the other flip side, another can rent an item without having to commit to buying one. In addition to our peer2peer model, we provide B2C renting through our physical self-service locker ”Lainappi laatikko”. Let’s make the future more sustainable by supporting sharing economy!
