Neighbor Sharing with Booking Map — How Residents Easily Share Resources

The sharing economy starts in your backyard

Most of us own things we rarely use. A carpet cleaner used twice a year. A drill sitting in the closet 364 days. A parking spot standing empty when you're on vacation.

Meanwhile, a neighbor needs exactly what you have — but you don't know about each other.

What can be shared in a housing co-op?

With Booking Map, the board and residents can set up sharing of:

• Tools and equipment (drill, circular saw, pressure washer)
• Parking spots (especially when you're away)
• Cargo bikes and trailers
• Guest rooms or guest parking
• Sports equipment (skis, kayaks, SUP boards)
• Party supplies (speakers, projector, grills)
• Storage space

How does it work?

It works exactly like booking laundry time:

1. The board or a resident adds the resource to the system
2. Other residents see what's available
3. You book your desired time slot from your phone
4. After use, the booking is marked as completed

No paper, no WhatsApp chaos, no conflicts.

What do you save?

A typical housing co-op with 30 apartments can save 5,000–15,000 NOK per household per year by sharing resources instead of everyone buying their own.

Plus it's sustainable — fewer things produced means lower CO₂ emissions.
