Rentoni on the Radio Emaus
Jarosław Władczyk.: today we will talk about small inventions which are already famous, and have been created because necessity of moment, and have chance to revolutionize the world.
-Welcome/Good evening
Everyone has lent or borrowed things like books, CDs sometime and probably will do it again… The problem is, that we do not get this things back very often, because the borrowers are forgetful. To prevent such situations in the future, MPlab company created a service called Rentoni, that remembers and reminds us about borrowed/lent things. Maciej Dziurla is speaking the director of MPlab.
- Maciej Dziurla: We have been thinking about it more than half a year… Is it worth to create such service… We have been looking for something similar in net and there was nothing like that for a long time… So we decided to create it. We claimed that such service will be useful for everybody, no matter where is he from Poland or America. We always consider is it a proper idea, is it worth to do it, does people need it… This service has been created because necessity of moment. We bought (the domain/field) pozyczone.pl to make it easier to use for Polish people. As I know, only one of my friends used to write down all his lent things, everybody else doesn’t/didn’t. We simply forget about these things and then they stay on somebody’s shelves.
- J.W.: All you have to do is to visit the website www.rentoni.com, create your account, define people, lent or borrowed things and suspected return date. Two days before the deadline date Rentoni will send you and a related person (if desired) email reminders.
- M.D.: Registration takes just a few seconds. We don’t collect any personal data, we just need login, password and e-mail address to send information about coming deadline date. You define people, borrowed or lent things, date of return, e-mail addresses and mobile phones – we are planning to launch SMS notification on mobile phone. Two days before the deadline date Rentoni will send you and a related person (if desired) email reminders. You define by yourself is it book, CD or DVD movie, we didn’t want to limit anybody’s invention. People are clever enough to handle it. So, you just lend or borrow things and just it.
- J.W.: Maciej Dziurla was speaking. The SMS notification is planning to be launch in the future and many other useful function making Rentoni easier to use.
