From Idea to Reality

In 2020, we launched Contrl with a simple but important idea—to create a booking system. But early on in our journey, we quickly realized that the day-to-day life of small business owners is far from simple. What began as a solution for bookings evolved into an understanding of something bigger: small business owners need a business system that does more than just solve a single task.

For many business owners, a large portion of their time is spent trying to find the right systems. One system for accounting, another for time tracking, perhaps yet another for the online store, and then something entirely different for keeping track of inventory and the cash register. Each system requires its own learning curve, its own procedures, and its own integrations. This fragmentation of tools and workflows costs not only money but also valuable time.

One of the most important features of Contrl is our automated bookkeeping. We realized early on that bookkeeping is a major challenge for many small business owners—not only because it’s time-consuming, but also because it often requires specialized knowledge. That’s why we’ve developed a solution where bookkeeping happens automatically in the background, without requiring any additional skills or training to make it work. This means that as a business owner, you can focus on your business without having to worry about complicated paperwork or expensive consulting services to keep track of your finances.

With Contrl, we wanted to change that. We wanted to create a platform that could handle all these aspects in a simple and integrated way—from bookkeeping to an online store, time tracking, and customer service. A system that doesn’t require hours of training and that seamlessly helps small business owners focus on what matters most—their business.

We believed it was possible to create a solution that simplifies things, and Contrl was the result of that conviction. Today, we’re proud to have developed a business system where everything is connected—a comprehensive solution that gives small business owners more time to focus on what they’re passionate about, without having to compromise on administration and bookkeeping.

In our next post, we’ll take a closer look at the benefits of having everything under one roof. What opportunities arise when all information is in one place? Can we anticipate trends or prevent unnecessarily high inventory levels? We look forward to showing you how we can make this happen together.

We are Contrl
