PonchoPay provides payment infrastructure to the family ecosystem. Existing payment solutions do not serve the very specific needs of families and the childcare ecosystem. Bank transfers, government subsidies, recurring & split payments, emergency contacts, child allergies. Making and receiving childcare payments is a headache! PonchoPay ggregates all payment sources at check-out, with one-click access to government subsidies. A comprehensive payment platform for childcare providers, reducing admin, missed payments and improving cash flow.

Our journey began (way before the pandemic) realising that many of the workspaces we use were largely unsupportive for knowledge workers. Open plan traditional offices have scored terribly in office satisfaction surveys for years largely due to their inability to support activity-based working – where professionals enjoy spaces and tools essential for their day-to-day work. We set ourselves the goal to design a durable workspace platform that is productive, healthy, beautiful and inspires. Realising that the need for healthy, productive and inspiring spaces doesnt just stop with knowledge workers, we decided to make the Studio a healthy well building platform suitable for a range of use cases including small dwellings. Leveraging the EASI Rituals framework of Energise, Author, Share, Interact ® gave us a blueprint of how a Studio space can support the user across a range of activities from work, to play and living.

The EASI framework by Smarter Working BV (www.smarterworking.io) distills all the activities performed by most knowledge workers into four categories of Energising, Authoring, Sharing and Interacting. Whether youre an Architect, Developer or Executive, we can all recognise these in our daily working lives. Unfortunately most of these daily activities are insufficiently supported at home and in the office preventing you from being productive whilst adversely affecting mental and physical health. ​EASI provides routes to improve work satisfaction through education and guidance, suggesting the right supporting products, designing and developing essential Spaces, and offering a network of Places that enable distributed working.
