Real capacity, checked at the shop
Actual free times and actual prices, read from the business's own book — not an estimate, not an advert. One partner salon works this way today.
What happens when you ask HERA
Three answers, and HERA will always tell you which one you are getting.
Businesses not yet on HERA
HERA takes your request to suitable local businesses and comes back with who can help, and when.
Nobody nearby can do it yet
Your need is recorded rather than dressed up as a result. Demand that gathers is what brings the right business to your area.
One buyer asks for a price. A hundred buyers change the conversation.
A seller picks the product, sets the price, invents the promotion, then spends a fortune convincing you to want it today. HERA starts at your end instead: you say what you are planning, and when enough neighbours are planning the same thing, that becomes something suppliers compete for.
01 · STATE THE INTENT
Name the outcome, not the coupon
A new machine. Solar for the street. A service your neighbourhood keeps talking about. You describe what you actually want; you do not go hunting for yesterday's discount.
02 · SEE WHO JOINS
The demand becomes visible
Others add their own interest and the group takes shape. No spreadsheets, no awkward group chats, and nobody collecting everyone's cash. Every buyer keeps control of their own commitment.
03 · LET THE MARKET ANSWER
They compete for the group
At meaningful scale the opportunity goes to suitable suppliers — and not only on price. Warranty, delivery, installation and service terms are all on the table.
04 · YOU DECIDE
Your order stays yours
Review what the group unlocked. If the terms work for you, confirm and pay the business directly. If they don't, don't proceed.
Being built, not running. Collective buying is the product we are making. The examples below are how it will work — they are not groups that exist, and no number on this page counts anybody.
[ The machine that died on a Tuesday ]
The machine that died on a Tuesday
When 23 households want the same energy-efficient washer, that stops being 23 enquiries and becomes one negotiation — with delivery and installation in it.
One appliance, one conversation
[ Solar for the street ]
Solar for the street
When a street's worth of homeowners are considering the same thing, certified installers survey once and quote every roof together.
Surveyed once, quoted together
[ The trip everyone is planning ]
The trip everyone is planning
When families on the same block plan the same season, a block of seats and rooms is worth competing for — and worth more than a discount code.
Terms, not coupons
Where HERA Life actually is
LIVE
Signing in to an account you already have
One partner salon runs its real bookings, sales and payments on HERA every day.
NEXT
Claiming your own relationship with a local business
You see your bookings and receipts because that business confirmed it is you — never because a name or a phone number happened to match.
IN DESIGN
Collective intent and the three answers above
Being designed in the open, and not sold as if it already worked.
Your record stays with the business you gave it to. HERA never merges two people because they share a name, and never builds one master list of customers behind their backs.
What we will not do
Your life belongs to you
What you book and buy stays between you and that business. No advertising trackers on this page, and none planned.
Businesses stay sovereign
A business's customers are its own. We do not take one shop's client list to sell another shop's offer.
Nobody buys the queue
When HERA answers you, the answer is what is actually true nearby. No business will pay to jump it.
Where it starts
Salon first, because that already runs on HERA. The rest follow, one proven at a time.
