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 focused our offering to help established and growing salons and spas, specifically.
We’re a team of over 90 remote-working staff 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 hybrid remote 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.
Committed to diversity and inclusion
At Timely we’re committed to being a workplace where people are welcomed, supported, known, valued and trusted. We’re committed to making constant improvements in our workspace because;
It’s what we stand for
Everyone deserves a safe, supportive and flexible work environment. It’s our responsibility to provide that.
Our customers notice
At Timely, customers are our sun and the reason they choose Timely is the people here. When you interact with people in a workplace like ours, you notice because they can be themselves and do their best work.
Diversity is an asset
When we succeed at inclusion it is reflected in the diversity of our people. Diversity to us means all elements that make people their wonderful, unique selves. Diverse teams are way better than samey ones.
