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.

Reputation management for a business with a Google listing, and the first thing HS Business Hub put in the world.

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.
In development
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 iPhone, for the Apple App Store. There is nothing to download today, and the slot below stays empty until there is.

The third on the bench, and the furthest along. Bookkeeping for Canadian trade contractors and small fleets: what each truck actually costs to run, and a clean year for the accountant.
Working, and early
A pump receipt takes under a minute, and HSLedger keeps the litres and the odometer rather than just the dollars — which is what lets it tell you the cost per kilometre of each truck. Income, expenses, receipts, invoices and mileage sit in one place in Canadian dollars, and the whole year comes back out 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.

SocialBirdie’s first version works.
The second 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 reads your website, designs branded graphic cards, and writes the captions. Review the 30-post batch in one sitting, click ‘Approve,’ and SocialBirdie automatically publishes each post directly to your connected social channels on an hourly schedule.
