Software voor pianostemmers,
gebouwd door een pianostemmer.
46 yıllık uygulamalı deneyimle neye ihtiyacınız olduğunu biliyorum.
Karton kutudan koda
Teknolojiye olan aşkım erken başladı. Genç olarak gece geç saatlere kadar ZX Spectrum’da BASIC programladım.
Gençlik heyecanımla fiziksel karton kutusunu attım — onun büyük dehşetine!
Neler denedim
Her sabah aynı ritüel: Google Takvim’i kontrol et, müşteri adreslerini ara, Google Haritalar’ı aç.
Yıllarca daha iyi bir yol olmalı diye düşündükten sonra, kendim inşa etmeye karar verdim.
İşbirliği
Kendi pratiğimde yıllarca duvarlara çarptım.
İş rakamlarıyla ilgili her şeye büyük ilgi duyuyorum.
Mükemmel planlayıcıyı inşa etmeye karar verdiğimde yalnız değildim.
Akıllı randevular
PianoPlanner’ın özü basit: bir bakışta para kazanıp kazanılıp kazanmadığımı görmek istiyorum.
Gururla Hollandalı
Büyük Amerikan oyuncularından farklı olarak yerel güe inanıyorum. Verileriniz Avrupa sunucularında güvenle saklanır.
İnşa ettiğimizle gurur duyuyorum. Piyano akortçuları için, bir piyano akortçusu tarafından.

🤝 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.
The fundamental difference
Why tuners switch to PianoPlanner
Automatically smart scheduling
Smart Suggestions analyzes your schedule, calculates travel times and automatically suggests the most efficient time slots. The system clusters on its own.
Triple calendar sync
As the only piano platform, PianoPlanner syncs two-way with Google Calendar, Microsoft 365 and Apple Calendar.
Customers book themselves
Each customer gets a personal booking link. They see their pianos, previous appointments and can pick a new time slot directly.
European privacy
All data is stored on Dutch servers. Fully GDPR compliant. No data going to the US. Ideal for European technicians.
