My project
6 out of 10 French have already participated in the exchange of services between individuals.
From carpooling to computer repairs to bartering clothes, the list goes on.
For the French, the keywords are “opportunities, ergonomics and confidence” with less administrative burden, no intermediaries, more security, opportunities for small benefits, etc. Other terms stand out as “economic benefits, then social, sharing, commitment”: benefits between individuals cheaper than those of traditional channels, access to what can not afford in traditional shops, consumption more responsible, more ecological or opportunity to meet new people.
FRIENDLYPAY is an additional step in this process which tends to develop more and more since here the service is directly transmitted and displayed on the application by the one who is the transmitter, unlike the classic circuit where it is necessary to come to search in a list of offers the service corresponding to our needs.
Our vision is to make the exchange of services freer and better adapted to the new generations called “connected” whose use of new technologies is a way of life in its own right
The idea came to me from a situation encountered by a friend. She needed to print her 175-page internship report which was due for the next day when suddenly her printer dropped her. Being a Sunday in a provincial town, she had no open shop for printing, she had to take a train to Paris, which is 1 hour away, to find a business where print his internship report. In total, she will have spent almost 100 € and lost a lot of time … The idea of FRIENDLYPAY then appeared as a simple and practical solution because with the application she would have found a person available in his area who would have agreed to return him this service at a friendly price. Indeed, we thought a very simple application of use where the user can directly post his need and indicate the amount he is willing to pay against the exchange of this service.
The service appears like a bubble in a geolocation plan based on our location, which allows members around to view it and to respond.
The application allows the exchange between members on a service issued and also to negotiate on the amount proposed by the issuer.
The application is secure because members must first validate their profile will be verified.
Transfers or payments are made only through the account-to-account application.
The realization of the project will be entrusted to a very efficient team of developers and programmers who undertakes to respect very precise specifications so that the application respects a computer ergonomics designed to facilitate the users as much as possible and is very intuitive.
All the details and details of the application will be examined in-depth with the team that makes it so that nothing is left to chance. Our basic criteria are – exceptional graphic quality; – Intuitiveness and perfect interaction; – Flexibility of navigation from one page to another.
We will make sure
FRIENDLYPAY is part of an ambitious social project because we want to completely free the market of the exchange of services between individuals, in the interest of all. In fact, it will be easier for you to find someone available to pick up your granny races at the local supermarket or to find someone from your neighborhood who is ready to help you set up the furniture waiting in the closet for several months now.
FRIENDLYPAY also has an ecological scope in that it is possible to use a pointing device without acquiring it. The FRIENDLYPAY user will no longer need to spend money on a laminator or drill.
FRIENDLYPAY is the union of FRIENDLY and PAY which means “friendly salary”. The meeting and the collaboration make it possible to develop very important values which are mutual aid and solidarity. In a society where exchanges between people are increasingly rare, we aspire to change attitudes by accustoming people to adopt mutual aid.
We offer investors to take part in the adventure FRIENDLYPAY if he wishes because we believe in the realization of the project, all supports are welcome. From simple investors to shareholders, we leave the possibility to those wishing to get involved in the project the possibility of doing so since FRIENDLYPAY also has a community vocation.
From the appearance in the “Thank You” page, o the gift voucher offer, the recognition policies will aim to recompose all those who have believed in the project and made their contribution to the building, all according to the investment.
For the moment we only have a paper model. Although accurate it is by no means a prototype or a functional model which means that all the work is to be done. To achieve this, we have solicited different teams of web developers for a financial estimate and prices vary from 40K to 80K euros for the realization of the mobile application, for the campaign marketing application and launch strategy. We hope to make an aggressive campaign with no less than 500,000 web-posters advertising before the official launch on download platforms knowing that the goal is that FRIENDLYPAY is part of the daily life of young people. We want to get at least 50 new members every month. However, calculating the projected costs of such a campaign is not easy to quantify precisely because it is a function of competition and influence statistics of the targeted web pages. Our calculation here is, therefore, an approximation from different studies. The second part of the budget will be used for the creation of a portal site for FRIENDLYPAY members to share their meetings and share their experiences, the goal being to create a real community. We hope to complete our project on time and work hard to achieve it. The development of the project will force us to become a legal entity. The creation of a company is a long administrative process. We have been thinking about this for a long time and are working on the legal part. I have had several professional experiences during my career that I am sure will help me in the realization of this project.
