For business owners

Run your shop, not your software.

You opened a shop to serve your community — not to spend evenings copying the same offer into three different apps. ZIPIEE gives you one calm place to manage your window, your online presence and your local promotions.

What you get

Everything in one app, nothing you don't need.

  • E-ink window display. Low-power and sunlight-readable, it looks like print and runs for weeks between charges. Quietly premium, never garish.
  • One change, every channel. Update an offer once and ZIPIEE pushes it to your display and syncs your Google Business Profile at the same time.
  • Local offer broadcasts. Send today's promotion to ZIPIEE app users nearby — the people most likely to walk in this afternoon.
  • Hours and announcements. Keep opening times, closures and news current everywhere, from one screen.
  • Plain-language insights. See which offers drew attention, without a marketing degree or a dashboard you'll never open.
  • Built for independents. Designed for owner-operated shops with one to three locations — not for chains, and not for franchises.

Who it's for

Made for the shops that make a place worth living in.

Shops & boutiques

Fashion, books, gifts, homeware, electronics — anywhere a seasonal or daily offer needs to be seen from the street.

Cafés & food

Bakeries, cafés, delis and takeaways with daily specials that change faster than printed signage can keep up.

Local services

Florists, barbers, pet shops and kiosks with a shopfront and a reason to tell the street what's new.

The Pilot

Free to join. Honest feedback in return.

We're working with a small group of independent retailers in Essen to get ZIPIEE right before a wider launch. As a pilot participant you receive:

  • A free e-ink display, fully configured and installed at no cost.
  • 3 months free app access, with no obligation to continue afterwards.
  • Guided onboarding in person or by video call, including linking your Google Business Profile.
  • A direct line to a founder for support throughout the test period.
In return, we ask you to use ZIPIEE as part of normal trading and share candid feedback through a few short surveys and one short interview. Participation is voluntary and carries no commercial commitment.
