A day with Gatepost

From first coffee to last invoice

Gatepost isn't a stack of disconnected features — it follows the shape of a working day.

7:05 AM

Your day is already in order

Recurring visits land on the calendar by each animal's cycle. Tap once and the day re-orders itself by drive time — priority stops stay locked, and every client gets an automatic reminder text with two-way confirmation.

  • Route optimization built into the schedule, not bolted on
  • Navigate each leg via Google Maps without leaving the app
  • "On my way" texts send a real clock time from your live GPS

Everything about the client, before you're out of the truck

Full visit history, care notes, medical alerts, photos, and what you charged last time — organized by client and animal, cached on your phone, readable in a barn with zero bars.

  • Medical alerts surface before you start, not after
  • Per-animal visit cycles tell you who's due next
  • Offline-first: no signal changes nothing

Invoiced, paid, and on to the next stop

Complete the visit, and the invoice is two taps away — line items from your service list, a Stripe payment link texted to the client, or cash, check, and Venmo logged on the spot. Quotes with deposits for the bigger jobs, mileage tracked in the background.

  • Send quotes clients accept online — deposit collected up front
  • Inventory auto-deducts the materials you used
  • Every mile logged for tax season, automatically

Who it's for

Farriers first. Not farriers only.

Gatepost was built shoulder-to-shoulder with working farriers — and the same engine now runs any trade that works a route: scheduling by location, invoicing in the field, clients who are easier to text than call.

What pros are saying

“As a first year cleaning business, this app has helped manage everything for me. Between messaging clients reminders, holding reports and invoices or simply keeping my schedule organized. I’ve struggled with other apps in those aspects, and having this app truly helped me in ways I can’t explain! Everything is so much more organized and intuitive! I definitely recommend simply checking it out but even better, using it!”

“Great scheduling platform—easy to use, keeps everything organized, and makes booking and managing appointments simple. It saves time and helps keep everything running smoothly. Highly recommend!”
Braxton
Waupaca, WI
“I first tried MoeGo, but for me, the setup was just way too much. I didn’t have the time or the understanding to get everything transferred and set up properly. Then I found Gatepost, and it checked ALL the boxes I was looking for! The transition has been incredibly easy. Instead of spending hours manually entering all of my existing clients and their information, I simply send my customers a link, they fill everything out themselves, and BAM 💥 — they’re added! It’s simple, user-friendly, and has made switching from my old system so much less stressful. As a busy business owner, that ease of use is HUGE. I’m so glad I found Gatepost!”

Our story

Two friends. One problem worth solving.

Gatepost started when David Sidoff watched his son struggle with tools that weren't built for the job. He brought the idea to his friend Devon — a developer with a background in IT, business analysis, and process automation. No investors, no supplier ties, no conflict of interest. Just two people building the tool they wish had existed.

No investors, no supplier ties
Nobody upstream decides what gets built. The roadmap follows what working pros ask for.
Built with the people who use it
Every feature started as a conversation with a farrier, groomer, or cleaner on a route.
Still two people you can email
That doesn't change as we grow. You will always be able to reach the builders directly.
