Cloud based asset mapping software

The scope of the project I am working on is currently limited to commerce. We are looking to create a dynamic map that is purely for commerce at the individual/household level (paid, bartered, volunteered)--services and goods. The web-based piece will be a component of a comprehensive project that includes a physical site staffed by a real person. We want this project to be very visible in the neighborhood, so I envision a yard sign for each service/product provider that will advertise their services/goods and involvement in the project. in the future, I would like to expand the project to include a micro-financing or micro-enterprise piece; basically, neighbors funding neighbors. I feel this is quite ambitious, but doable. ANY insight others have is greatly appreciated.

I am very excited to find this conversation because I am in the process of developing a web-based asset mapping pilot project and don't want to re-invent the wheel. What we plan to develop is an interactive mapping program that maps down to the individual and connects people to each other through services and producst (from Joe who will shovel your sidewalks to people with home-based businesses). Of course, regular store-fronts will be represented, but the focus will be on connecting individuals to each other. Think of it as a hyper-local Angie's List and Etsy. The data will be entered through crowdsourcing and door-to-door collection. Neighborhood organizations could use the data to engage residents in the organization and around issues. My dream is to expand the model to include hyper-local micro-financing and micro-investing (like a neighborhood-based GoFundMe). Neighbors investing in neighbors. So, anybody done this, already?????
