Software for small professional fields

The work you have to be able to prove takes more hours than the work itself.

Wagoe builds focused software for professions where recurring desk work, hard deadlines and reporting duties eat the week. Small enough to understand your field. Precise enough to do something about it.

The thresholds

Three thresholds we hear about in every conversation.

The evidence is everywhere except in one place.

Contracts in email, hours in Excel, explanations in loose documents. The moment someone says "show me", the search begins.

What we do

One file per contractor that stays complete by itself. That is ZZPGuard.

The deadline is the same every year. So is the peak.

What is due in May gets done in April, by the same people who do everything else. Extensions solve nothing, and there are no extra people.

What we do

Prepare the desk work in advance, so the peak becomes a review instead of a production run.

Eighty percent is research on public sources.

Your expertise lives in the last twenty percent. The first eighty are querying the same sources and building the same tables, again for every assignment.

What we do

Bundle the public sources into one report, so your hours go into the judgement. That is QuickEco.

How we work

Three commitments you can check.

Conversations first, code later.

We build nothing until practitioners in your field say: I would offer this to my own clients under my own name.

One field at a time.

No platform for everyone. Each product serves one profession, in its language, with its rules. And those rules are configurable, because they change.

[TO VERIFY — did this hold for QuickEco?] Two firms paying for a first version outweigh a hundred that find it "interesting". That is how both of us know it holds up.

In practice

Two products, two professions.

For agencies and clients working with freelancers

ZZPGuard

One file per contractor: contract, assignment, hours and the assessment against the Dutch tax authority's criteria. The dashboard shows, day by day, who is at low, medium or high risk, and which checks have not yet run.

For ecological consultancies

QuickEco

From an address to a flora and fauna quickscan in minutes: parcel data, land cover, aerial imagery with cadastral boundaries and the protected species from NDFF distribution data, in a formatted report. Whatever needs a site visit is marked "to be added".

About Wagoe

Small, independent, Dutch.

Wagoe is a software company with no outside funding and no growth target that gets in the customer's way. [OWN SENTENCE: what do you intend to stay?]

We build on our own open-source foundation (wagoe.org). That is why a new product stands in months rather than years, and stands in time when the rules change.

Founded by Johan Krap and Thijs Creemers, [BACKGROUND IN ONE SENTENCE].
