Pike13, a new software-as-a-service (SaaS) startup delivering integrated scheduling, client management, and payment processing for personal services businesses and franchises, is partnering with School of Rock, the leader in performance-based music education. Pike13 provides School of Rock franchisees and their staff with easy-to-use, mobile-first client management tools, and gives their clients an intuitive way to manage accounts and schedules. Pike13 recently completed a pilot at School of Rock’s Seattle and Bellevue locations, and will roll out to all 130 locations worldwide by 2015. The Pike13 platform offers School of Rock franchisees easy scheduling, recurring billing, email marketing, digital documents, and integrated payment processing - all configurable for multiple languages and currencies for international locations. Pike13 also integrates useful third-party services, such as Zendesk for tracking inbound client leads. Pike13’s partnership with DocuSign enables School of Rock to keep its business paperless from start to finish to further automate and streamline customer interactions. “School of Rock is a natural fit for Pike13’s mobile client management and payment processing solution,” said Jon Zimmerman, Pike13 co-founder and CEO. “A personal services franchise like School of Rock is in the business of building long-term relationships with their customers. Pike13 provides this unique franchise with the tools they need to better serve their customers, become more efficient, and increase profitability." “After I realized what Pike13 could do for our business, it didn’t take long to decide I wanted to be more than just a Pike13 customer – I wanted be a part of their journey,” said Chris Catalano, School of Rock CEO, who invested in Pike13’s recent Series A round. “We evaluated a number of services before Pike13, but none had the easy mobile interface and the breadth of functionality we need to support our schools. It’s easy to use and affordable, has helped us solve billing issues, and offers a great experience for our clients.” In addition to individual private music instruction on guitar, bass, vocals, keyboards and/or drums, School of Rock students also learn how to jam with their peers in interactive environments at its locations throughout the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Chile, and the Philippines. ### About Pike13 Pike13 is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that provides cloud-based management tools to the personal services economy.
