About Timely | Timely Appointment Booking Software

From 2011 beginnings

Timely was founded on December the 13th 2011, by Andrew Schofield, Ryan Baker and William Berger. Prior to Timely, Ryan and Andrew built BookIt — a booking engine for the New Zealand tourism industry. In 2010, BookIt was acquired by Fairfax and became the software behind the travel division of Trade Me, New Zealand‘s largest ecommerce site. During this time we were asked by a lot of small business owners if we could provide a similar solution for other industries like clinics, salons, gyms, trades and so on. There was clearly a lot of pain being experienced, with existing solutions being cumbersome and expensive. So, we built Timely — simple, affordable and reliable appointment software for small businesses. As Timely has grown, we’ve zeroed in on the beauty community, our biggest and happiest group of customers. In July 2021, Timely was acquired by EverCommerce Inc. EVCM.

We’re a team of over 130 remote workers, spread across the globe.

We recognise that some folks prefer to work from home, some prefer an office and some prefer a mix of both. Our “work from anywhere” model caters for all preferences – the choice is yours. We know there’s no substitute for face to face time, so we make sure we get together regularly for a good ol’ catch-up.

Our values unite us

In a fast-growing remote-working company, our values are what unite us and help align our energy as a group. We believe in what we’re doing, and who we’re doing it for. Check out our code of conduct here.

Customers are our sun

We obsess first and foremost about our customers because they give us life. We’re successful when our customers are too, and it’s a privilege to serve them.

Timely life

Work and life are complementary rather than competing priorities. Technology has erased the hard lines between work and life, and we embrace that.

Bring your whole self to work

We believe in being yourself – authentic and honest. We value diversity, because diverse teams build better products and better organisations.

Execute like a boss

Execution is getting thousands of little things right. It’s hard, but rewarding. We don’t always get it right first time, but we learn. Outcomes, not outputs.
