June Update!

Posted on by Zak Dziczkowski

May and June have been a really busy month for the Garageio team. From our last update, we were fully-focused on scaling our manufacturing to finish fulfilling our Fundable campaign preorders. As you know, during this time, we experienced a delay which bumped our timeframe back yet again. Much of May was spent recovering from this delay as we worked closely with the manufacturer.

Shipping of Orders: I am happy to report that we will be shipping all of the remaining Fundable preorders by our date listed on the Order Status page: http://garageio.com/orders. If for any reason, you have a question about your order, please contact our customer service by submitting a message:  http://garageio,com/contact.

For those who ordered after our Fundable campaign ended, your Garageio is still on its way! For an estimated shipping date, be sure to check out our Order Status page: http://garageio.com/orders.

Feature/Update Roadmap: Garageio has many planned software updates to the mobile apps and the website dashboard. We will be turning our attention back to them over the next month. Stayed tuned for some exciting improvements.

A Thank You: I wanted to extend my gratitude and thanks to all of the early customer who took time to share their thoughts with us on installing and using Garageio. It has been both uplifting and constructive. Your feedback gives us critical insight into your experience and helps us to continue to improve Garageio!

We are also appreciative of all of our early customers who have shown patience and understanding as we work through the issues typical of a small company. Your support means more to us than we can accurately express.

Status Update – 22 April

Posted on by Zak Dziczkowski

We Are Almost There!
The Garageio team has been hard at work chiseling away at every aspect of what it takes to make an extraordinary product by a few ordinary individuals. We wanted to take a second and send out an update on our overall progress. Dave and I have been wearing out our keyboards writing app updates and working closely with some familiar names on platform integrations which will allow Garageio to talk with some other great products in and coming to the market.

Shipping and Order Status
Greg has been working diligently on scaling manufacturing options and, in the immediate timeframe, assembling and fulfilling existing orders. Due to the availability of some of the components, we are only receiving about a third of the expected shipment for the Fundable backer fulfillment. Our plan was to have all Fundable orders shipped the week of April 21st but given this situation, we can’t realistic achieve this goal. We will continue to move down the list in order and will continue to work with our suppliers to expedite the remaining shipment.

We have created a new status page which we update every few days:
http://garageio.com/orders

Support Tickets and Inquires
The entire team spends as much time as we can answering contact inquiries and supporting our current users to the best of our abilities. If you have sent us something, we did see it! We promise to give a response as quickly as possible (although sometimes it is not as quick as we would hope).

We take to heart the support everyone has given us thus far and continue to push forward to make things even better than the day before. Everyday, the Garageio team aims to accomplish as much as is humanly possible. Each team member continues to battle these challenges to continue our pursuit of the traditional American entrepreneurial dream.

New Installation Video!
The Garageio Team just recently shot a brand new video which details each step of the simple installation process. We are working on integrating it into the online instructions, but for the meantime, you can check it out here: https://vimeo.com/92619019

Ideas born in the garage, made in the garage (and in this case FOR the garage!) still remains possible today.

Thanks for your continued support!

Garageio Launch Party

Posted on by Zak Dziczkowski

This past Saturday, we set aside our computers and soldering irons to celebrate a milestone in Garageio’s history, its launch. It has only been a year since we started but so much has happened. Over the past 12 months, we developed, designed, coded, tested, tweaked, sketched, ordered, assembled, discussed, wrote, argued and agreed our way to what we have today.

Friends and family enjoyed themselves as we reminisced about our journey. I speak for the entire team when I say, thank you all for celebrating this milestone with us!

Prototype Update

Posted on by Zak Dziczkowski

As fall approaches, Garageio is working hard on putting the finishing touches on the prototypes. It is these prototypes which will be distributed to our local testing team in and around Columbus in the coming weeks. We are truly excited to get our work into real households. I wanted to take this opportunity to give you a preview of the iOS app interface. The user interface is still constantly being tweaked but this should give you an idea of what to expect.

If you live in the Columbus, Ohio area, we would love for you to be one of the first to get Garageio. Simply contact us at hello@garageio.com. Stay tuned for more updates!
