Merge Campus

Where plans with friends come together. Merge Campus is a social platform built around doing things in real life — exploring your college campus, managing plan logistics and feasibility, both timewise and carpool wise, coordinating a bring list between group members and the correlated expenses, along with many other quality of life features meant to support users in making their ambitious outings come to life.

• The Timeline: A shared calendar finds timings that work for everyone involved. Planners can map out their outing stop by stop, while other members can see the plan first and join if it suits them. Makes it possible to view how adjusting the plan impacts the rest.
• Expenses: Merge turns a scanned receipt into an itemized split, and offers running tabs between friends. There are options to divide a split by item, by serving, equally, by percent, etc.
• Move Suggestions: Merge answers the classic “What’s the Move?” by suggesting locations in the area catered to the group’s interests, among several other adjustable parameters. It also suggests activities that can be done at home for fun, outlining any materials/items required to do an activity.
• Getting there: Merge groups carpools, optimizes routes, and solves the carpooling concerns to minimize time spent driving unnecessarily.
• Peer-to-peer ridesharing: Merge generates the detour distance and converts it into the added fuel cost, matches people based on route similarities, and provides them a platform to negotiate and decide what will work for their carpool purposes.
