About Us.

We make great online appointment software for business.

Based out of beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, OpenCal is committed to building software of the utmost quality for small businesses everywhere.

Our Story

It all started with two guys and a vision to build the best online appointment system out there.

Simon Vallee and Arash Shiva, with backgrounds in user experience and interface design, joined forces, put their tables next to each other, and got to work. Sketches turned into photoshop designs, designs turned into code, and after hundreds of rounds of refinements, many late nights, and with the help of some talented people, they created what you see as OpenCal today.

As we grow, we promise to constantly improve OpenCal and add new features to help our clients do business better. We hope you enjoy using OpenCal as much as we enjoy building it.
