Customers sign up once
A simple mobile page you can share anywhere: a text, social media, a business card. Customers enter their zip and animals, and the app files them into the right area using zip-prefix matching. “599” covers the whole Flathead, and a full zip can override it.
Plan a trip and send a heads-up
Pick an area and type the dates. Everyone signed up there gets a personal “we're planning to be in your area” email. Press send again later and it only reaches new sign-ups, so nobody gets emailed twice.
Firm dates and one-tap confirm
Each customer gets their own private link, already filled in with their details. They tap Yes, count me in, update their animals, and leave notes for this visit, like how many head or a gate code.
The route sheet builds itself
Confirmed customers land on the trip page with phone, zip, animals and visit notes, which is your route for the day. Anyone still waiting is listed underneath, and if they reply by text you tap Confirm. Every trip is saved, so “where did I go last fall?” is one click away.
Searchable customer list. Your list is yours: Export → CSV any time.
You draw your own areas by zip. Change one and every customer is regrouped instantly.
Click around the real thing.
No login needed. It runs on fake Montana customers, emails are caught instead of sent, and everything resets every hour, so plan a trip, hit send and break whatever you like.
Small app, built properly.
- Clean data model. Customers, Areas, Trips and Stops. A stop tracks each customer through projected → firm → confirmed or declined.
- Safe to press twice. Sends are idempotent: re-sending only emails people who haven't had that step, never someone who already answered.
- Private confirm links. Each stop gets a random URL-safe token, so customers confirm without accounts or passwords.
- Real email, no extra service. Batched through the business's own Gmail with one SMTP connection per send, so failures are reported and can be retried.
- Deployed with no open ports. Dockerized behind a Cloudflare Tunnel and HTTPS, with an automated test suite covering the full trip flow.
