Requipa, the marketplace for second-hand office furniture
Requipa gives office furniture a second life. We advised Innos on the launch and built the marketplace, from catalogue to delivery.
- The need
- Innos fits out offices and sees furniture in great condition thrown away. The idea behind Requipa is to resell it between businesses, and to handle dismantling and transport too, which often block a sale.
- What we built
- A fast public catalogue that ranks well, in French and English
- Verified business sellers and an address hidden until the sale
- Paid listings with Stripe Connect, in euros and Swiss francs
- Quotes for dismantling, delivery and reassembly, floor included
- Filtered messaging, reviews and support
- A back office for prices, margins and disputes
- How we worked
- We advised Innos a lot, on the model, legal duties, SEO and prospecting, down to the rule that public buyers must buy at least 20 % reused furniture. On the technical side, photos came in at very high resolution and the home page weighed 68 MB. We now generate light versions in the background, and the page is down to 0.9 MB.

- The result
- Requipa is live with its first business sellers. On a 4G phone, the home page loads in 5 seconds instead of 33.
