The date that was only in your head

It is Thursday afternoon. Someone asks to see your food licence. You are not sure it is still valid.

The licence, the van VRT, the single permit, the VAT. Each has a date. Most live in a drawer, an email or your head. One missed date can cost you a day, or a job.

Today: you find out when someone asks. With this: every Monday you see what runs out in the next 60 days.

How it works

  1. 01

    You keep one list: what it is, who it belongs to, and the date it runs out.

  2. 02

    On Monday you open the list. Overdue things come first, then the next 7, 30 and 60 days.

  3. 03

    You tap send to yourself. Where there is a renew link, it is in the list.

What it leaves alone

  • Items marked doneonce you renew, they stop being listed
  • Dates it cannot readshown as a line, never guessed
  • Rows with no nameshown as a line so you can fix them
  • Dates more than 60 days awaykept off the list until they come closer
  • Your staff and customersit only writes to you, never to them

What we set up with you

We start with a 15 minute chat, and tell you then if it does not fit. We build your list with you from the real papers, not from memory, and run one real Monday together. You get one page in writing before anything is built.

Questions

Does it message my staff or customers?
No. It only writes to you. A staff permit shows under the person's name, so you speak to them yourself.
Will it send the list by itself?
No. It gets the list ready and you tap send to your own number. We set up the Monday timing with you.
Does it know when I renew something?
Not by itself. You mark it done or type the new date. Until then it keeps listing it.
Do I need to learn anything new?
No. You use the WhatsApp you already have. Each message opens with the words already in it.
Where does my list live?
In a sheet you own. We read it.
What if my dates are a mess?
We start by tidying them with you. If your records are too thin to build on, we say so in the first chat.

Does this happen in your week?

Give us fifteen minutes. We look at how you work today and tell you straight if this fits. If it does not, we say so. You get one page in writing before anything is built.
