Problem
Renters in Indonesia often struggle to locate affordable, well‑managed rooms or coliving spaces with consistent amenities, leading to fragmented searches, hidden costs, and uncertainty about property quality. The lack of a centralized platform makes it difficult to compare options across cities and verify that listings meet basic standards such as Wi‑Fi, secure access, and shared facilities.
Solution
RoomMe operates a digital marketplace that aggregates kost and coliving listings from major Indonesian urban areas, presenting each property with a standardized set of amenities and transparent monthly pricing. The platform enables users to filter and compare accommodations by location, price range, and feature set, then book directly through an online interface that handles secure payments and digital lease agreements. Property owners upload their units via a self‑service portal, where they can specify amenity packages (e.g., smart lock, Wi‑Fi, CCTV) that are automatically displayed to renters, ensuring consistency and trust. Real‑time availability updates and map‑based search reduce the time spent on manual inquiries, while integrated customer support assists with any post‑booking issues. By digitizing the entire rental workflow, RoomMe streamlines the match between demand and supply, improving occupancy rates for owners and offering renters a reliable, affordable housing option.
Target Audience
The primary users are budget‑conscious renters—students, young professionals, and newcomers to Indonesian cities—seeking fully equipped rooms or coliving spaces with transparent pricing. Secondary users include property owners and managers who want a streamlined channel to list and rent out their units.
