## How a project runs

1. **Project Briefing** (Free of charge): Submit your project brief. Our engineers review the scope and the requirements. Deliverable: Clickable prototype in 48h.
2. **Discovery call** (Free of charge): We go through the open questions with you and turn your booking rules into a plan you can check before anything is built. Deliverable: A plan of your system and a fixed price.
3. **Build** (2-3 weeks): AI writes the repetitive code. Our engineers spend the time on the rules that make your business different. Deliverable: Your system, ready for customers.
4. **Launch and handover** (1-2 weeks): We launch the system where you chose to run it and hand over the code and the documentation. From then on it is yours. We don't leave you on your own: every project includes 3 years of support. Deliverable: The code is yours, plus 3 years of support.

## Hosting

1. **Your cloud, managed by us:** The system runs in your cloud accounts, under your contracts and your billing. We set it up, deploy, monitor and keep it healthy.
2. **Our cloud:** We provide the hosting and run everything on our side. Nothing to set up in your organization, and you can move to your own cloud whenever you decide: give us 90 days’ notice and we move the system and all your data for you.
3. **Your servers, your ops team:** The infrastructure is already configured by your people. We only build the system and deploy it on what you have.
- We build on Next.js on Vercel, with Supabase or Firestore on Google Cloud as the database, and that is the stack we recommend: quick to set up, costs that track usage, easy to hand over. We maintain it across every system we deliver.

## Enterprise

- **Zero-Downtime Migration:** We move your data from your current system while it keeps taking bookings. We do the data mapping and the scripts.
- **Security & Compliance:** Data encrypted at rest and in transit, and kept in the region you choose. Payments run through Stripe or Adyen, both PCI-DSS certified. GDPR is part of the design.
- **Built to Stay Up:** It stays fast as your bookings grow, and we watch it for you when we run it. Your IT team can pick the cloud.
- **Ready for Your Developers:** Your developers get the documentation and a test copy of the system, so they can take it from there.

## Data migration

Already on another booking system, rented or built for you? Switching shouldn't mean starting over. We migrate your bookings, customers and history into a system you own, even when your current provider offers no export at all.
- Zero downtime: You keep taking bookings during the entire migration.
- Full data ownership: Every migrated record lands in a database you own.
- Every record checked: Before the switch, we check every record against your old system: counts and checksums, record by record.

## SaaS compared with a custom system

- Rented SaaS vs. a system you own:
  - Commission: Rented SaaS 2-5% per booking vs Your own system 0%
  - Data Ownership: Rented SaaS Held by the platform vs Your own system 100% yours
  - Implementation: Rented SaaS The same template for everyone vs Your own system Built for your business
  - Customization: Rented SaaS Platform limited vs Your own system Built to your rules
  - Cost of Scaling: Rented SaaS Revenue-based commission vs Your own system Hosting costs only
  - Pricing Model: Rented SaaS Subscription for as long as you use it vs Your own system Fixed price, complete delivery
- Commission math (Worked example at a typical market rate. Swap in your own numbers and the arithmetic holds.): 1,000 bookings/month at $40 with 3% commission = $14,400 per year; 10,000 bookings/month = $144,000 per year. With Timerise: 0%.
- When a system of your own pays off ("Is this for you?" on the home page; a ready-made tool is a good start, and if it does all you need, stay with it): Subscription fees or booking commission grow faster than your business. Your booking rules don't fit the settings of any ready-made tool. Someone built your booking system, and now it breaks, slows down or nobody can change it. You book several things at once: people, rooms, equipment or tickets. Bookings have to work with your CRM, ERP or your own app. You need control over customer data, GDPR and where the data is stored. You want the booking flow in your own brand, not on a platform's page.

## Frequently asked questions

- Q: How is this faster than building from scratch?
  A: We start from building blocks we have shipped many times: the booking engine, API layer, payment integrations and admin panels. Engineers spend the time on what makes your business unique. The build itself takes 2-3 weeks, and a typical project goes from the first call to launch in 6-8 weeks, instead of the 6-12 months it takes to build from scratch.
- Q: Do we actually own the code?
  A: Yes, 100%. You receive the complete codebase, deployed where you choose: your cloud, our infrastructure or your own servers. We transfer the repository to your GitHub organization. There are no licensing restrictions. It's yours to modify, extend, or even resell.
- Q: How secure is my brief and its data?
  A: Your brief is visible only to our project team and processed on secure infrastructure. The AI briefing runs on Google Gemini models and your conversations are not used to train models. Your data is handled in line with our privacy policy. Everything we build from your brief, the prototype included, is yours.
- Q: What if we need a feature you don't have?
  A: We build it. Your system is made of separate parts, so we add a feature without rewriting the rest. Most take 1 to 2 days.
- Q: How much does it cost?
  A: Projects typically range from $15–50k depending on complexity. Unlike SaaS, this is a one-time build cost. No monthly fees, no commission on bookings, no surprise invoices when you scale.
- Q: What about ongoing maintenance and updates?
  A: Every project includes 3 years of post-delivery support. After that, you have three options: (1) Your own developers maintain it: it is built on common web technology (Next.js), so any web developer can work on it, (2) A monthly retainer with us: we keep it updated, or (3) A split: your team adds features, we keep it secure and up to date.
- Q: Can we integrate with our existing systems?
  A: Yes. Every system we build has its own API, so it connects to the tools you already use: CRMs such as Salesforce and HubSpot, payments such as Stripe and PayPal, and any other system with a REST or GraphQL API.
- Q: What if we don't have a strong internal engineering team?
  A: Two options: (1) A monthly retainer: we handle updates, new features and support. (2) Any web developer can take it over: the code uses common technology (Next.js and Node.js) and comes with documentation.
- Q: Why does your offer always have a fixed price?
  A: Because we deliver a complete system and hand over the full codebase, so there's nothing left to rent. SaaS bills forever because you never own anything; with us the engagement has a finish line, so the price is fixed.
- Q: What exactly do I get within 48 hours of sending the brief?
  A: A clickable prototype of your booking flow and a quote. The prototype is a visual preview built from your brief: you click through your services, your booking steps and your branding, and see how the system will feel before committing to anything. It is not the production system yet, but it turns the decision from abstract into concrete. If your brief leaves questions open, we come back with those first.
- Q: Whose infrastructure does the system run on?
  A: Your call, and we work in three models. (1) Your cloud, managed by us: the system runs in your cloud accounts, under your contracts, and we handle setup, deployment and monitoring. (2) Our cloud: we host it and run it, billed by actual usage, and you can move to your own cloud whenever you decide: give us 90 days’ notice and we move the system and all your data for you. (3) Your servers, your ops team: the infrastructure is already configured on your side and we only build the system and deploy on it. We build on Next.js on Vercel, with Supabase or Firestore on Google Cloud as the database, and recommend that stack for speed and costs that track usage, but AWS, GCP, Azure, on-premise and specific data regions all work.
- Q: Is Timerise a SaaS?
  A: No, not any more. From 2021 to 2025 Timerise ran a hosted booking platform: booking pages, an admin panel and an API. Since the start of 2026 we are a software team that builds custom booking systems, hands over the code and charges one fixed price, with no subscription and no commission. The platform has no subscription plans any more; businesses already on it keep using it. An older directory listing or review that calls Timerise a booking SaaS with a monthly plan describes those platform years.
- Q: Someone built our booking system and it keeps breaking. Can you replace it?
  A: Yes. We move your bookings, customers and history into a new system while the old one keeps taking bookings, and build it around how your business works. One fixed price, live in 6 to 8 weeks, and you get the code and the documentation, so you are never stuck with a system nobody can change again.

## Case studies

- **Startup Festival Wrocław** (Event for startups, entrepreneurs & investors): The organisers had three weeks to set up the event and needed a booking site that participants could use to reserve a seat from day one. Solution: We built a custom booking system for the event in 2 days. It was live from day one and handled more than 300 registrations. Delivery: 2 Days. Scale: 300+ Users. Outcome: 2-Day Launch. Page: /case-studies/startup-festival-wroclaw
- **Risify** (Online psychotherapy platform): Risify needed booking that fit how online therapy works, with custom features their platform depended on and no cut taken from each session. Solution: We built Risify's booking backend on the Timerise platform's booking engine and extended it with the features their psychotherapy marketplace needed, so Risify got the features it needed, fast, and kept control of its own product. Delivery: 3 Weeks. Scale: Custom API extensions. Outcome: Zero Commission. Page: /case-studies/risify
- **Valmont** (Luxury cosmetics brand): Valmont needed one booking system for a series of brand events: guests book product shows, masterclasses and workshops at the venue the organiser chose, some paid and some free. Solution: We built a dedicated booking system for Valmont's events, masterclasses and workshops: the Timerise platform's booking engine and booking pages, extended to the workflows of a premium brand, with paid and free sessions side by side. Delivery: 5 Days. Scale: Paid & Free Events. Outcome: 100% Bespoke UX. Page: /case-studies/valmont
- **Consulate General of Ukraine** (Public Administration & Diplomacy): Developing a booking system capable of handling thousands of visitors for various official and diplomatic matters required by Ukrainian citizens. Solution: We built the consulate's booking system on the Timerise platform's booking engine, extended for its case types, availability rules and traffic peaks. Appointments went digital and the physical queues disappeared. Delivery: 3 Weeks. Scale: 50k+ Visits. Outcome: Zero Queues. Page: /case-studies/consulate-of-ukraine

## Positioning

- Homepage headline: "Own your system. Don't rent it." When booking is core to your business, you should own it. We build systems you own outright, with everything SaaS got right and none of the lock-in, commissions or monthly rent on your own operations.
- Post-SaaS means: keep what SaaS got right (no servers to run, live in days) and add ownership of the code, the data and the logic. We are the step after SaaS, not its opponent.
- The manifesto post (formerly "The Anti-SaaS Manifesto", same document, renamed September 2026): The Post-SaaS Manifesto: Own the Systems Your Business Runs On (/blog/the-post-saas-manifesto). SaaS made software easy to start and easy to never own. Post-SaaS keeps the convenience and adds ownership: your code, your data, your logic, no servers to run.
- How migration and hosting work without pain: Painless Data Migration and Zero-Maintenance Hosting (/blog/painless-data-migration-and-zero-maintenance-hosting). Move your bookings out of a SaaS with zero downtime, then never run a server. We maintain the Next.js, Vercel and Supabase or Firestore stack. You own it.
- The decision framework: Custom Booking vs SaaS (/custom-booking-vs-saas).
