HS Business Hub is the umbrella for the software I design, build and maintain on my own. Four products live under it: one you can use today, three still on the bench.
Email only · Canada and the USA
Reputation management for a business with a Google listing, and the first thing HS Business Hub put in the world.
Live · replypigeon.com
ReplyPigeon checks a business’s Google reviews once a day. When a new one turns up it drafts a reply that answers what that customer actually said — not a template — and emails it over, ready to publish.
ReplyPigeon does not post to Google. The draft comes to the owner, and the owner pastes it in.

Job and route scheduling for small field crews and mobile workforce teams — crew dispatch and optimised routing in one place.
Not released yet
Whyte Routes is a job and route scheduling platform for small field crews and mobile workforce teams. It covers crew dispatch and optimised routing: who is going where, in what order, and on which day.
It is being built for the Apple App Store and for Google Play. There is nothing to download today, and the two slots below stay empty until there is.

The fourth thing on the bench. Bookkeeping for a Canadian sole proprietor: what came in, what went out, and roughly what to put aside before tax time.
Working, and early
Income, expenses, receipts, invoices, customers and mileage in one place, in Canadian dollars. It adds the year up, estimates the income tax and CPP a sole proprietor should be putting aside, and hands the lot over as spreadsheet files at tax time.
HSLedger is a bookkeeping tool, not an accountant. It files nothing, it is not connected to the CRA or to any bank, and the tax figure it shows is an estimate to plan against.
HS Business Hub is not an agency and not a marketplace. It builds and runs its own software, and that is the whole of it.

I write the software and I maintain it. No client work, and nothing here is resold from anybody else.

SocialBirdie’s first version works.
The third thing on the bench, and the earliest of the three. The first version reads a website and writes a month of posts, and you can try it free.
Working, and early
What it does
It reads a business’s website once, takes down the plain facts of what that business does, and then write a month of posts and make the picture each one needs — for you to approve in one sitting before any of it goes out.
It writes the month and makes the pictures, then waits for you to approve them — the networks do not let an app post without a person considering each one. Same shape as ReplyPigeon: it drafts, you decide.
