IdeaEdit
CatchApp is a powerful scheduler for professionals and SMEs, with plans for scaling to meet the demands of Enterprise users. We have developed a suite of smart productivity tools that are simple to onboard, flexible to scale, and cost-effective vs what we believe to be cumbersome alternatives.
Extensively developed and tested over 3 years, CatchApp launched on iOS in early '19, an Office 365 plug in mid '19, and on Android later that year. Our products integrate with all major calendars including Apple, Google, and Microsoft Outlook.
The latest addition to CatchApp is an Appointment Bookings system for SMEs, launched in June '20 and is offered on monthly subscription plans (SaaS). It features built-in Video Calls, integrated payments, and other sophisticated features demanded by SMEs. This is the company’s first path to monetisation.
The Business Productivity software market size is projected to grow from $98bn in 2018 to $106bn in 2021. Appointment scheduling software specifically - one of the company’s revenue drivers - is growing at 13% p/a, and projected to more than double by 2026.
We are fundraising with clear goals:
Build up marketing, business development, and technical teams
Accelerate revenue from SMEs via the company’s newly-launched SaaS product
Launch CatchApp Enterprise solutions, and win larger accounts
Launch global partnerships to scale up user growth, and monetisation
