Meridianstacks is a team of senior engineers, anchored by hubs in Africa's three tech capitals, that builds custom booking & appointment apps for Norwegian businesses — scheduling, payments and reminders, working your business day in native-level English. Your matched hub is Johannesburg (UTC+2) — the same clock as Oslo in summer and never more than an hour out. It is the most cost-effective way to get a professionally built booking app in Norway: a premium build, best value, at a fixed price in NOK, 50–70% below a local agency. You meet your senior engineers before you commit, and you own all the code.
A custom booking & appointment app in Norway typically costs NOK 250,000–600,000 from a local agency, because Norwegian rates are among the highest anywhere. Meridianstacks builds the same app to a high standard for roughly 50–70% less — NOK 80,000–165,000 on our Focused single-staff tier, NOK 165,000–325,000 on our Standard multi-staff tier — at a fixed price in NOK. Top-quality software at a fraction of the local-agency cost, built by senior engineers on your working day, fully GDPR/EEA compliant, and you own all the code.
Salons, clinics, gyms, consultants and tradespeople. Clients book, pay a deposit and get reminded, while your staff calendars stay in sync and no-shows drop.
Therapists, coaches, tutors, physios and advisers who sell their time. A clean booking page replaces the email back-and-forth, takes payment up front, and organises your week.
Founders building a booking-led product — a multi-vendor marketplace, a class or event platform, or a vertical SaaS — who need a real, ownable codebase, not a rented template.
Concrete uses: a physio clinic taking paid appointments with reminders; a consultant selling 1:1 sessions with a deposit; a startup running a multi-location class-booking platform with staff and resource management.
A booking app is only useful if it reflects your real availability, gets paid, and turns up the customers who booked. These are the core capabilities we build.
Tools like Calendly, Fresha or Booksy are quick to start with, but you rent them per seat or per booking and cannot reshape them around your business. A custom build flips that: the app and the data are yours, with no per-booking fees eating your margin as you grow.
We build the same core — scheduling, reminders, payments and staff calendars — shaped around your own services and rules.
A 30-minute call to map your services, rules and must-have features. You get a fixed price in NOK, a timeline and your senior engineers. Week 0.
We build the booking flow, live availability and your branded booking page first, so you can take real bookings early. Weeks 1–4.
Deposits and payments in NOK, calendar sync, and automated SMS/email reminders with your cancellation rules. Weeks 4–7.
Per-person calendars, rooms and equipment, plus customer accounts with history and rebooking. Weeks 6–9.
End-to-end testing across devices, a GDPR/EEA review, and a controlled launch. Weeks 8–10.
You own the code and repos. We can stay on a light monthly retainer to add features and locations.
