Our story
Started

Our story
Started
back in 2012
Pointerpro was born in 2012 when our founder Stefan wanted to create an iPad Quiz for his daughter’s birthday. After completing the quiz, contestants didn’t just receive their results but also got pictures, videos and fun trivia about Pauline.
The product has clearly evolved substantially since then but the same values remain at the core of the brand. In a business context, we accomplish this by still offering personalized advice and insights to our respondents. These outputs can be communicated to our clients by both email and beautifully branded reports.
Allow us to use a metaphor.
People are encouraged to go for regular medical check-ups and that shouldn’t be any different for companies. It’s crucial to make sure your business remains healthy by measuring your performance on the regular. We’re not just here to help you diagnose your performance levels, we’re here to automate the way you do so while immediately giving advice on how to improve.
Automation facilitates the delivery of
personalized advice at scale
A couple of core aspirations we strive to achieve. We believe that
Every business interaction should result in a two-way value exchange
Low-tech people should be able to create high-tech tools

Shawn Giannattasio
US Customer Service Representative
Shawn's interest in all things related to computers started at an early age. When he was given a book on how to code in Qbasic. After many years spent learning various languages and working on many hobby coding projects, it made sense to impart his knowledge on others in order to help them reach their creative goals through the use of tech. Combining his knack for connecting with people, and his friendly disposition, working in Support was a natural progression. If he's not coding and learning Rust, he's either at the local venue watching his favorite bands play or working on his own music projects.
