Edward Meijer, pianostemmer en maker van PianoPlanner

Software voor pianostemmers,
gebouwd door een pianostemmer.

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

alkaen card box to code

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

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

What I tried

Every morning the same ritual: check Google Kalenteri, look up Asiakas addresses, open Google Maps, figure out if another Ajanvaraus fits between two others... ja in the evening: manually Lähetä confirmation emails, Päivitä my Excel sheet kanssa serial numbers, note when each Piano needs Viritys again.

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 varten years. I worked kanssa American software that didn't fully understand our market, or I juggled three different apps varten Kalenteri, invoicing, ja routes. I thought: "This has to be smarter."

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

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

Älykäs Ajanvaraukset

The core of PianoPlanner is simple: I want to see at a glance whether I'm making money or wasting Aika. I also don't want to spend too much Aika driving. That's why we developed Älykäs Ajanvaraukset — each Ajanvaraus automatically gets a Väri based on Matka-aika:

Fits perfectly in your Reitti
Watch your Matka-aika
Inefficient, costs you Aika

Proudly Dutch

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

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