KitTracker: A Solo-Built SaaS, Founder to Production

The situation

Kit managers on festivals, tours and live productions need to know what equipment is where, who has it, and whether it came back — with a real audit trail, not a spreadsheet. KitTracker is a multi-tenant web app built to solve exactly that.

The approach

I designed, built and launched KitTracker alone, end to end: schema design, multi-tenant organisations and auth, Paddle billing, CSV import for onboarding existing kit lists, and real-time availability across a whole event.

First live pilot: Wildkind's 2026 season

KitTracker's first live pilot ran through Wildkind's 2026 season, at my day job — and it held up: kit checked in and out across live events without falling back to a spreadsheet.

Outcome

• A production SaaS product live at kittracker.app — one person, full stack, from schema to billing.
• Piloted through Wildkind's 2026 season — proof it holds up in the field.
• Proof of end-to-end range: the same judgement applied to a client's platform applies just as well to a product built from nothing.
