The objective of this article is to analyze technology as the instrument that facilitates and drives the development of collaborative strategies. The focus is the promotion of mutual support initiatives originating from the population, in the central highlands of Ecuador (the Andes). The Design/Methodology is quantitative, with descriptive and inferential scope with non-probabilistic sampling, made up of direct observation, interviews and surveys applied to 215 people. Inferential statistics are applied by classification of the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) type in R-Studio. The results obtained reveal that, on average, users exchanged 14 products, although the reliable range includes between 10 to 18 products, a result that is evidenced by the standard deviation. Technology is socially shaped; therefore, the use of technological platforms stimulates collaborative exchange that allows the population to survive, seen as a practice that is resumed to minimize and compensate for the inefficiency of the state. Three aspects to highlight: a) barter resurfaces when capitalist exchange breaks down and technology favors this type of exchange; b) the state is replaced by community and family leadership and the social subject is redefined beyond a “citizen”; and c) the denial of the classic capitalist system, by managing to transfer value without transferring currency, supported by technology. Originality/Value through the absence of studies that connect topics such as technology-barter is well covered in this article, it is an addition for those interested in social-economic sciences and who want to find novel topics.
