PodPlay Technologies is the operating system for modern, tech-forward recreational venues. We built the tech that powers PingPod, and, in 2023, formed PodPlay to offer our full autonomous tech stack as a white label SaaS solution to like-minded racket sports venues. The PodPlay offering integrates reservations, event management, coach connect, analytics, and payments software with hardware-enabled features like scoreboards, customer initiated replays, door access, and 24/7 remote security monitoring. Today, we power clubs across pickleball, padel, pool, and ping pong, but the long term vision is to power all businesses pursuing the autonomous operating model. If you run a business that offers time-slotted experiences, we should talk.

Popshap was founded in late 2017 due to the growing need for digital touch solutions and the demand for touch screen kiosks in retail stores, at events, and other industries. From the start Popshap’s unique position was the fact that we provided a complete hardware and software solution, that gave us an industry advantage with so many brands looking for an all-in-one provider in the digital marketing space. In the beginning, most clients came from the conference and trade show world but as our line of products expanded so did the verticals and we began to work with healthcare facilities, hospitality, and lots of retail spaces. Popshap opens a small seed investment round, and we completed that round in 14 days raising over $600,000 in capital and resources. Popshap specializes in one of the hottest technological devices: Digital Interactive Touchscreen Kiosks! Using our interactive kiosks opens a whole world of possibilities for you and your business. We don’t just specialize in Touch Screen Kiosks, we also provide Touch Tables, Digital Signage, Outdoor Kiosks, and much more! One of the unique features about Popshap is that we don’t just rent out the physical touch screen kiosks, but we also create the back-end development as well. Our team takes the time to personalize your project based on your specific requests. We test our products and code as we develop them to ensure an optimal customer experience for you with endless capabilities Popshap offers much more than just a plain interactive kiosk. We have a handful of additions to make your experience with our products that much better! We can add on a camera to create a photo booth to entertain your guests with, a QR Code, RFID Reader, or Hand Scanner to allow for easy event check-in or to interact cross-platform with your phone and the interactive kiosk, a credit card scanner so you can use the kiosk as a mobile store, charging station, and much more! The possibilities are endless!
