The Challenge:
Scaling Up for Success
Software for Scaling
When Hansel Lynn and Wayne Teng set out to launch a coding school, they recognized the importance of having robust software to manage daily operations and facilitate growth. Drawing from past experiences, Hansel was confident that Pike13 could meet at least 80% of their business needs, a satisfaction that laid the foundation for their new franchise.
“Most of us understand there’s no one software that can handle it all, and 80% is pretty good!” — Hansel Lynn
Pike13’s open API and outstanding customer support further solidified their decision, making it the ideal choice for The Coder School franchise.

The Solution: Simplifying Growth
While Pike13 effectively managed daily scheduling and client relationships, its true potential emerged as The Coder School began to expand. Hansel noted that setting up new sites became a seamless process, thanks to Pike13.
“New sites have been extremely easy to set up! Just a few steps for the new owners, like changing addresses, but otherwise very easy.”
Training new site owners on the platform was also streamlined, allowing most to adapt with minimal assistance.

Cracking the Code to Smooth Operations:
3 Features theCoderSchool Loves
The Results: A Heartfelt Connection
Jason MacCoy, General Manager of The Coder School in Bellevue, Washington, is a testament to the software's impact. Starting as a coach and moving into management, Jason describes Pike13 as the heart of his business. “It’s what I do every day. Every day I’m in Pike13 to change or coordinate something.” The staff relies on Pike13 for scheduling, but the standout feature is the Notes function, which enhances communication with parents. “After each appointment, my staff use Pike13 Notes to provide feedback to parents, detailing what their child worked on and offering homework suggestions. This feature is a huge value-add for us.” Jason efficiently aggregates data weekly to report to Hansel and Wayne at the corporate level, taking only about half an hour by favoriting the necessary reports for quick access. Pike13 enhances Jason's experience whether he’s using it on his desktop or mobile device, making his job easier and more enjoyable.
“When software works well, it really hums. It allows me to focus on customer service and personal interactions. If I’m bogged down in administration, it’s tough to engage. So, hats off to Pike13. It’s key for our success.”
