13th & 8th Software Information

The philosophy behind 13th and 8th started with a very tricky problem: how to do away with the thousands of emails, dozens of spreadsheets and hundreds of nerve-wracking hours associated with the guest management of a huge non-profit event packed to the gills with the Bay Area’s most influential movers and shakers? From an organizational standpoint, it was an interesting problem - yes it contained thousands of variables, which computers are good at dealing with. But in this case, the variables were people - individual people - who required being treated like individuals - in an environment that changed constantly. So, the solution required a system that allowed powerful, customizable automation (all events are different) - but one that was also sensitive and flexible enough to deal with the subtle differences between individual guests. And it had to save time, be easy to use, be accessible by large, hierarchical teams and generally make everyone’s lives better. No more spreadsheets. No more surprises at registration. No more wracked nerves. Thus, 13th & 8th was born, and SeatRobot was launched. And the process ended up being so much fun, that now, it’s a thing. You know, with other products in production, and a site and clients and stuff. Got a tricky problem?
