Software studio · New York
We build software for people who work with their hands.
DeHsu makes apps for small trades shops. Our first is Pipr: the schedule, estimates, prices and bills for a plumbing, heating or electrical shop, and it keeps working in a basement with no signal.

How we build
The phone comes first
Work is saved on the device the moment it's done. The internet is for sending it to the office later, never for waiting on.
Built with a few shops
Pipr is shaped by the people who will use it, and each new version is tried on testers' phones before it ships.
Your records are yours
An owner can download every record as spreadsheets at any time. Card payments go straight to the shop's own Stripe account.
Run a shop? Let's talk.
Pipr is being built with a few shops and is invite-only for now. Write to us to ask for an invitation or to tell us how your shop works. Already using Pipr? Help and support has a guide to every part of the app.
