Finding qualified software development talent is difficult, and Metropolitan Utilities District has experienced that challenge firsthand.

Layer – Management Platform for Architects and Building Managers

Layer is a project information management platform. By streamlining how data is captured, organized, and shared, it accelerates the design, construction, and operations of buildings.

The idea for Layer came from a team at BVH Architecture while they were conducting a conditions assessment on the Nebraska State Capitol. What started as a project to save their team time and effort turned into a platform that can now be leveraged by anyone involved at any stage of a building’s lifecycle.

Watch Layer CEO Zach Soflin and Don’t Panic Labs Chief Product Officer Brian Zimmer talk about this powerful collaboration.

HobbyTown – Improved Retail Data Management System

When HobbyTown reached a point where their franchise management and point-of-sale (POS) systems no longer met the needs of their stores, they wanted a team that could help build a modern system leveraging the latest technologies.

By moving HobbyTown developers on-site to work alongside the Don’t Panic Labs Microsoft Azure experts, the joint team created a system that provides intelligent pricing, powerful inventory management, and better data sharing among stores.

Vosaic – Helping Teams Capture, Annotate, and Analyze Video

While building a mobile version of their video analysis software, Vosaic needed an experienced team to help cross the finish line.

Vosaic – formerly known as Studiocode – needed to create a mobile version of their desktop video analysis software to continue meeting customers’ needs.

Working closely with the team at Don’t Panic Labs, Vosaic was able to meet their aggressive timeline and continue helping teams around the world use video to capture, annotate, analyze, and collaborate.

Fourstarzz – Helping Brands and Agencies Master Influencer Marketing

Fourstarzz uses technology to help brands and agencies master influencer marketing. Their platform makes the process of creating marketing campaigns more efficient and impactful.

When Fourstarzz founders Dennis Doerfl and Daniel Troesch needed a partner to help them bring their idea to life, they approached Don’t Panic Labs to architect a social media marketing tool that is now used by some of the biggest brand names in the world.

LocalAnyDay – A Mobile Experience for Finding Food & Drink Deals

CEO Mailani Veney of LocalAnyDay (formerly DealAnyDay) needed to take her mobile-responsive website to a mobile app.

They are a marketing technology company and did not have all the skills necessary to make this difficult jump on their own. The vision was there; they just needed a partner to make it a reality.

That is where Don’t Panic Labs and their Xamarin mobile development experience helped take LocalAnyDay to the next level.

ClassBundl – Simplifying School Shopping

ClassBundl’s innovative approach to simplifying the school shopping experience for parents provides an added bonus: the ability to earn rewards that turn into real dollars for schools.

Because of their rapid growth, ClassBundl’s online platform needed to adapt. By working alongside the engineers at Don’t Panic Labs, the ClassBundl team was able to leverage a proven framework for efficient development. This added level of quality ensures that parents have the best possible experience.
