The Challenge
The co-working and event space industry lacked a centralized, user-friendly marketplace similar to Airbnb. Existing solutions were fragmented and failed to provide comprehensive tools for both hosts and renters.
Key requirements included:
A dual-sided marketplace with distinct experiences for hosts and renters
Support for multiple listing types with flexible pricing models
Real-time availability with varied booking durations
Secure payment processing with commission handling
A powerful admin backend for moderation and analytics
Advertising tools and premium membership tiers
Native mobile applications alongside a web platform
SEO-optimized infrastructure for discoverability
The goal extended beyond building a marketplace; it required creating a scalable ecosystem enabling hosts to operate and grow their businesses digitally.
The Solution
Ropstam developed Kangrooo as a high-performance, scalable platform using:
React.js for frontend development
Node.js for backend services
MongoDB for database management
Native iOS and Android applications
The system was designed to be responsive, SEO-friendly, and optimized for both performance and user experience.
Each user role, Super Admin, Host, and Renter, was provided with a tailored dashboard, ensuring smooth workflows and clear operational control.
From listing creation and booking management to payments, analytics, and promotions, Kangrooo offers an end-to-end digital solution for space rental businesses.
