Why we exist

Software for the everyday person.

Most software is built for enterprise budgets and ten-seat minimums. The people who actually keep neighborhoods running deserve tools every bit as good as the Fortune 500 gets. So that's who we build for.

Products

Born from everyday headaches.

Everything we make is free to start. Here's what pushed us to build it.

QR codes shouldn't stop working.

Menus move, promos end, and every printed code points at yesterday. Dynamic QR codes fix that. Most people just don't know they exist, and the tools that offer them are priced for enterprises and go dark the moment you stop paying.

So we purpose-built Scanheim for small businesses: affordable, and it never holds your codes hostage.

  • Repoint any code after printing, no reprints
  • Scan analytics by location, device & OS
  • Branded redirects & mobile microsites
  • Print-ready SVG exports, crisp at any size

Google Forms slows down events.

Most events run on a generic form: registrations pile up as spreadsheet rows, payments get verified by hand, and check-in becomes a signature scrawled at the gate. It's a headache organizers relive every single event.

Event Shepherd replaces the mess with a real registration page, QR tickets by email, and check-in from any device you already own.

  • Branded event pages with built-in registration
  • Unique QR tickets emailed to every guest
  • Any laptop, tablet, or phone as a check-in terminal
  • Live attendance counts & CSV import
Contact

Say hello. We read every message.

A question, an idea, or just to tell us how your shop is doing. No ticket numbers, no support maze: a real person answers, usually within a day.

And if there's a problem in your day that software should be solving, or a solution exists but costs more than it's worth, tell us about it. That's exactly how everything we've built got started.
