Executive Summary Pincom intends to become the number one application that facilitates passive income from the comfort of one's home, it is set to achieve this through rigorous marketing, ease of use and absence of competition. The ability to rent peoples possessions locally within 0.5< mile radius per hourly hourl y rate; while remaining in renter's residence will be the key to the success of this company. Following previous assessment of the sharing market that blossomed recently, our strategy will be similar to that of Uber and Airbnb in targeting countries and regions with poor economies to eliminate. In addition to that our success will be reliant on the ease of functionality of the site and security we're providing, which are both tackled with our experienced programmers and security protocols in place that include i nclude anonymous listing until registration complete (takes copy of users ID) and tracks of both users before, during and after transaction to ensure the safety of all our clients.
Highlights Summarize key business highlights. For example, you might include a chart showing sales, expenses and net profit for several years. Note: to replace the sample chart data with your own, right-click the chart and then click Edit Data.

Keys to Success Anonymousity:
-
The identity of the pincomers will not be visible to the pincomee nor will the location when the booking process is undergoing as only location radius will be visible. It is only when the pincomer responds with an acceptance that the location and usernames are shared. User interface:
-
The website design will follow the late trend in website designing with css3 and html5 while incorporating a flat ui design and colors which makes the site run much smoother, and the mobile app will follow up the same.

html5 while incorporating a flat ui design and colors which makes the site run much smoother, and the mobile app will follow up the same.
Security: - GPS tracking will be implemented to monitor the location of the pincomer and pincomee, once the pincomee reaches the site, they will be sent a verification veri fication request to verify the pincom is as stated in the ad. - Ten minutes before conclusion of the session both pincomer and pincomee's p incomee's will be notified of session ending and will be able to either extend session or give a review of service before pincomee leaves the location site. - Users will have to upload copy of ID/passp I D/passport ort or any form of verification similar to the Airbnb security measures.
Timing:
-
The website will target countries with bad economies that are undergoing recession or currency inflation and so on. As these are the regions that are looking for access to wider range of opportunities and save money at the same time. (Concluding from understanding the sharing market, the success of Airbnb and Uber was not foreseen, however they prospered first in poor economies that drove people to treat trust as currency worthy for lower prices).
Renting method:
-
Unlike previous startups that attempted to implement the renting of household items. This will focus primarily on expensive tech devices, equipment's or workshops. (Unlike the startups that were mainly looking l ooking at simple items such as vacuums or drills.)

-
Simplicity - The design will make plain and general tasks simple to do and provide good shortcuts that are significantly related to longer pr ocedures.
-
Visibility – Visibility – The The design will keep all desirable options and materials for a given task visible without disturbing the user with irrelevant or unneeded information.
-
Feedback - The design will keep users up to date with actions or analysis, changes of situation or forms, and faults or exceptions that are applicable and of interest to the user.
-
Reuse -The design will reprocess internal and external workings and behaviors, retaining consistency with reason rather than just random consistency.
