Dear Sumolings,

Greetings from the kiwilaunch team!

I'm Orkun, one of the co-founders here at kiwilaunch, and I wanted to take a moment to share our journey and vision with all of you. Over the years, I've had the privilege of building and leading various service marketplaces. Over time, it became clear that there was a strong need for a software like kiwi.

Our journey has involved working with thousands of service providers, conducting countless A/B tests to optimize the booking experience for different types of services. We've understood that services are not commodities; each of you is unique, with a distinct story to tell. Whether you're a personal trainer, a course provider, or a cleaning company, your story matters, and we are best at transforming these narratives into conversions and sales.

One realization during our journey was that many service-based businesses lacked a proper scheduling system. So, we took it upon ourselves to create a vertically integrated system. What does that mean for you? You get a supremely user-friendly and powerful scheduling system at the core of your business operations. On top of that, we've crafted an Online Booking suite, complete with mobile capabilities and a conversion-optimized user experience for your clients. And the best part? Being a white-label solution, this seamlessly integrates with your brand identity.

Our presence here on Appsumo isn't just about showcasing our product; it's about engaging with a vibrant community of entrepreneurs like you. We're eager to listen to your insights, suggestions, and ideas to help us shape the future direction of kiwilaunch. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly at [email protected]. Whether it's through email or a call, I genuinely value every interaction with you!

Thank you for being a part of the kiwilaunch journey. We're excited about what lies ahead and can't wait to embark on this adventure together.

Cheers,

Orkun and the Kiwilaunch Team

Hello AppSumo community,

Users who have seen Kiwi on AppSumo for a long time may not realize we’re still moving as fast as ever.

I wanted to share this update because many of the answers I’ve posted in the Q&A section are no longer accurate. Not because plans changed, but because many of the requests and suggestions from this community made it onto our roadmap and have since been delivered.

Over the last few months, we’ve shipped:

• Native Zoom integration
• A full self-service customer portal for managing bookings, packages, and account details
• Weekly recurring schedules for yoga studios, Pilates studios, dance schools, gyms, and other class-based businesses
• Apple Pay
• A refresh of our booking and checkout experience
• Custom questions and intake forms
• Numerous performance improvements, bug fixes, and quality-of-life enhancements

Some of these features were built for relatively small groups of customers. We shipped them anyway because the community asked for them.

As a result, many of my older answers in the Q&A section have become outdated. We used those conversations to shape our roadmap and then delivered.

Kiwi continues to make a meaningful impact for service businesses and independent professionals, and we’re working on the next wave of (radical) improvements.

Thank you for your trust and support.

Please keep sharing feedback, feature requests, and ideas. Many of the things we ship start with conversations right here.

Orkun
