The blog about sharing

About a year after the first Covid-19 wave, WeeShare is registering a new upswing in sharing: new users are joining daily, the app is more in demand than ever and our savings and CO2 calculator is running at full speed.

Sharing is worth it, that's for sure! Nevertheless, we - the Weeshare team - were quite amazed when we saw the numbers black on white: Since the launch of the WeeShare application in 2012, our users have saved an astonishing amount of almost 400 million US Dollars thanks to the popular sharing app from Switzerland! And not only that: at the same time, WeeShare has enabled us to reduce CO2 emissions by 65 million kilograms. The environment, nature, climate and WeeShare would like to thank you!

A morning like any other. We start our laptops, check our mails, check the logs, the coffee machine brews the water. Nothing unexpected seems to disturb the routine of every day, but then, after a two clicks in the search engine, a string of letters is listed that doesn't seem natural at all: We Share - VW enters the car sharing market. Disbelieving and disturbed we look at the screen, a few seconds pass. Again we click on Search in the belief that this can only be an anomaly in the system. No, again the same text appears: VW - We Share - Carsharing

From 2011 to 2013, mass media reports about the share economy hit us hard. An economic revolution seemed imminent. We were all holding our breath and preparing for a new age of a new way of thinking: Sharing instead of owning. Truly a time in which the euphoria could not keep within limits. Everyone reported diligently about the new age and we felt a little reminded of the seemingly unstoppable rise of the post-war period. But as short-lived as the news landscape is today, the onslaught distorted like wafts of mist in summer.

WeeShare offers many different applications. The main functions of WeeShare are the booking system, the output and cost system, the position system and a communication system. This makes it possible to share objects as desired. Examples are sharing cars, boats, planes, everyday objects, renting objects for a fee or simply splitting of expenses in a group.

When people share it is a basic need to know where the shared object is. In addition, in many cases it makes sense to record the distances travelled with the object. WeeShare offers the appropriate tools for both cases. With the route recording, expenses can also be distributed accordingly and costs per distance travelled can be charged automatically.

Are you ready to put an end to pointless consumption? Sharing with neighbours is a highly efficient way to reduce resource consumption worldwide. The trend is already being implemented in modern architecture by creating more common rooms that can be shared by all tenants. We go one step further with the possibility to share things with your direct environment.

The cost of having your own boat is immense. In addition, there is insurance, repairs, mooring, etc. Many boat owners try to reduce costs by renting out boats. Others borrow boats because they cannot afford their own boat. Both parties can achieve the optimum result by sharing the boat. Possession at the lowest possible cost.

Not everyone can afford an airline ticket, even less can an aircraft. Nevertheless, the private flight license has become an affordable project. As soon as the training is finished, the actual problems of flying arise - the costs. WeeShare provides the tool for professional cost sharing and communication and makes sharing possible in an unprecedented form.

Availability is and remains the linchpin of everything that is shared. When sharing, it must be clear when it is available and when not. With our booking system you can easily determine who can and may use it and when. The system is simple and intuitive, yet lets you make many settings that are important and useful for sharing.

For people, it is becoming increasingly important to share vehicles in different ways. Although work is already underway on the self-propelled vehicles, there is still a lot of work to be done before the public roads are ready for this project. Meanwhile, car sharing is very popular, which is why in this article we discuss the different types of car sharing and its advantages and disadvantages and show how smart money can be saved.

The car as a status symbol slowly disappears and the car becomes an object of use. From A to B it should drive us and it doesn't matter how strong it is and how great it looks. Especially in urban areas where parking prices are high, car sharing is becoming increasingly popular. Not only that, sharing a car can save a lot of money. Buying a car in threes saves 2/3 of the purchase price. Insurance, registration and repairs are also divided by 3. No wonder that so many people prefer this alternative to their own vehicle. We have developed WeeShare for this purpose.
