Edward Meijer, pianostemmer en maker van PianoPlanner

Software voor pianostemmers,
gebouwd door een pianostemmer.

med 46 years of hands-on experience, I know what you need. I built the app I always wanted.

fra card box to code

My love til technology started early. As a teenager, I programmed Basis late at night on a ZX Spectrum. Later, armed med my first Tulip PC, I wrote my first 'real' software: a digital Kunde database til my father.

In my youthful enthusiasm, I then threw away his physical card box — to his great dismay! Eventually I printed everything neatly til him on the dot-matrix printer, but the tone was set: I wanted to organize things faster, more efficiently, og better.

What I tried

Every morning the same ritual: check Google Kalender, look up Kunde addresses, open Google Maps, figure out if another Aftale fits between two others... og in the evening: manually Send confirmation emails, Opdater my Excel sheet med serial numbers, note when each Klaver needs Stemning again.

Excel
Geen herinneringen
Google Calendar
Geen klantinfo
Gazelle
Prijzig, servers in VS
Calendly
Niet voor ons vak
ServicePlanner
Voor CV-monteurs
Papieren agenda
Geen backup, sync

After years of thinking "there must be a better way" I decided to build it myself.

The collaboration

In my own practice, I hit walls til years. I worked med American software that didn't fully understand our market, or I juggled three different apps til Kalender, invoicing, og routes. I thought: "This has to be smarter."

I have great interest in everything around Forretning figures — we Alle know how complex the margin scheme can be. I wanted software that not only plans but also thinks along med my Forretning operations.

When I decided to build the ultimate planner myself, I wasn't alone. I got to work med my skills og the advice of my children og stepchildren. One graduated as an IT specialist fra HAN University. The other as a Game Developer & Sound Designer fra HKU. med my hands-on experience og their knowledge of the latest technology og AI, we developed PianoPlanner together.

Smart Aftaler

The core of PianoPlanner is simple: I want to see at a glance whether I'm making money or wasting Tid. I also don't want to spend too much Tid driving. That's why we developed Smart Aftaler — each Aftale automatically gets a Farve based on Rejsetid:

Fits perfectly in your Rute
Watch your Rejsetid
Inefficient, costs you Tid

Proudly Dutch

Unlike the big American players, I believe in local strength. PianoPlanner is an independent initiative. Your data is securely encrypted og stored on European servers, fully compliant med GDPR Privatlivspolitik regulations.

I'm proud of what we've built. A system til Klaver tuners, by a Klaver tuner.

🤝 Honestly: where Gazelle is stronger

  • Condition Reports — Stuur klanten gedetailleerde PDF-rapporten over de staat van hun piano. Dit heeft PianoPlanner (nog) niet.
  • Native apps — De iOS/Android apps van Gazelle kunnen soepeler aanvoelen dan een PWA, vooral op oudere toestellen.
  • Marktpositie VS — Gazelle is langer actief en heeft een groot netwerk in Noord-Amerika.
