Built on Experience.
Designed for Today.

PopCal is the next chapter in a journey that began over a decade ago, grounded in the idea that instruction-based businesses deserve software built around how they actually work.

That vision first came to life in 2010 with ScheduleFencing, a platform originally created for fencing clubs. It started with a clear focus: supporting the scheduling, billing, and operational needs of a sport we knew well. Over time, it grew steadily into a trusted system for a wider range of organizations shaped by calendars, instruction, and community. From the beginning, it was about more than just features—it was about aligning with how real teams operate.

Over the years, we worked closely with owners, instructors, and staff—listening, learning, and growing alongside them. ScheduleFencing became a steady companion for teams who needed one reliable place for everything.

As the needs of modern businesses expanded, we saw an opportunity to go further. PopCal was born from that momentum.

We built PopCal from the ground up as a confident next step—shaped by over a decade of experience and close collaboration with the people who rely on our software every day. It's a clean, modern platform designed with care: flexible, intuitive, and ready for the way instruction-based businesses operate today. Where ScheduleFencing carried us far, PopCal goes further—refining the familiar and opening the door to what's next.

Some workflows may feel familiar, but everything underneath is new. From the architecture to the interface, every detail reflects years of collaboration and practical insight.

PopCal exists because of the relationships we've built, particularly with small teams who generously shared their time, ideas, and trust. We've learned from how they teach, organize, adapt, and stay connected. That trust continues to shape what we build and how we support.

At its core, PopCal is a reflection of what hasn't changed: our commitment to providing dependable, thoughtful software for the people who rely on it every day—and to growing alongside them, one update at a time.
