Kindershare Case Study

Kindershare is a two-sided marketplace designed to connect parents and parents-to-be with high-quality, brand-name baby gear available for rent. The platform provides a practical solution for parents who want to access premium baby products without the expense of purchasing or the hassle of storing items after use.

In this marketplace:

• The sellers are owners of baby equipment who wish to declutter their homes and earn extra income by renting out their idle baby gear. They create detailed listings that include the brand, product type, condition, and rental terms.
• Buyers, typically parents or expectant parents, browse these listings to find the exact products they need. They can rent the items for short or extended periods, allowing them to test products before making a purchase decision or simply use the gear without the long-term commitment of ownership.

The transaction process on Kindershare involves renting baby gear, where parents select items from the listings and complete the rental transaction securely through the platform.

The team helped the founder of Kindershare move from a highly customised Sharetribe Go open-source implementation to a Sharetribe Flex implementation. This included migrating data and building additional functionality to match the old website. Successfully delivered we continue to support and maintain the Kindershare marketplace.
