Set against.
Built anyway.

Obstin / Software

Five operations products for scheduling, booking, venues, projects, and signatures. Built for operators, priced for owners, proven on real engagements before anyone else touches them.

Obstin / Labor

United Entertainment Solutions. Staffing and install services for entertainment, events, and venues. UES runs Obstin software on its own client engagements, which makes it the first and hardest customer.

The Software

Five Products · One Temperament

Tinds

In Development

The measure of every shift.

Operations and compliance for staffing in high-accountability environments. Scheduling, live clock-in, timesheets, events, and estimates in one system that assumes someone will eventually ask you to prove it.

Built for operators who answer to clients, auditors, and regulators at the same time. Every shift is measured. Every credential is tracked. Every report is defensible.

  • Live ops board. Who is on site, on break, and overdue, across every site at once.
  • Credentials and licenses. Expirations surface before they become violations.
  • Timesheets to payroll. Approval flows that hold up when the invoice is questioned.

From the working build. Chair-level scheduling next to a checkout that splits the take the moment it happens.

Booking and bookkeeping for chair-based businesses. Barbershops, salons, studios, anywhere revenue is a person in a chair. One system holds the calendar, the checkout, and the split.

Most shops run bookings in one app, payments in another, and the ledger in someone's head. Chair and Ledger closes that gap. When the appointment ends, the books are already right.

  • Chair-level scheduling. Renters, commission artists, and guests on one board.
  • Checkout with the split built in. Shop take, tips, cash and card, no end-of-day math.
  • Multi-shop from day one. Owners see every location without asking anyone.

Gantline

In Development

Clients see their lane. Crews see the sequence.

Client portal and project sequencing for install crews, agencies, and project-based businesses. Booking forms that feed straight into work, boards that hold the sequence, and role-segregated views so a client never sees another client's job.

General project tools make you build the discipline yourself. Gantline ships with it: statuses that match how install work actually moves, from bid to crewed to done.

  • Bookings inbox. Client request forms land as real work items, not email.
  • Sequencing built in. To do, crewed, in progress, blocked, done. Order is the point.
  • Role-segregated portals. Staff sees everything. Clients see exactly their lane.

Prototype builds. Two configurations of the same template: a 1919 vaudeville house being restored as a regional performing arts center, and a municipal beach park drawing half a million visitors a season. Same system, reskinned per venue. Neither is a live deployment yet, and we say so.

Venue and attraction operations, end to end. Ticketing, seat maps, food and valet POS, staffing, facilities, incident management, and a full admin suite in one white-label platform that reskins to the venue.

Marquee was built against two of the hardest kinds of venues to run: municipally owned ones. Seasonal staff, public accountability, incident logging, and compliance-adjacent workflows are in the product because the prototypes demanded them.

  • Guest side and staff side. Tickets, food, and valet for the public; ops, rosters, and reports behind Staff Only.
  • Incident management. Attraction status, water quality logs, and Code Adam response built in, not bolted on.
  • White-label by design. Near-black charcoal and gold by default, reskinnable to any house style.

Chirograph

Available Now

Signatures with a spine.

Standalone e-signature, running today. Sequential and parallel signing, tokenized signer links that need no account, immutable template versions, and an audit trail built for ESIGN and UETA (the federal and state electronic signature acts).

Chirograph is named for the medieval practice of writing a contract twice on one sheet and tearing it down the middle: each party holds a half, and the torn edges prove the match. Same idea, better infrastructure.

It bolts onto every product in this portfolio and resells white-label through Gantline. Self-serve signup, per-tenant branding, API key and session auth.

  • Signer links, no accounts. Tokenized links get documents signed without friction.
  • Immutable templates. Versions lock on send. What was signed is what stays signed.
  • White-label ready. "Powered by Chirograph" is a per-tenant toggle, not a rule.

03 · The Proving Ground

We run our software on our own jobs before we ask you to run it on yours.

Built from operations, not decks.

Obstin Labor puts crews on real floors, in real venues, on real deadlines. The software exists because the spreadsheets broke first. Every product started as a tool we needed on a job.

The first customer is the hardest one.

UES pays for and runs these products on client engagements. If a tool can survive an overnight strike crew or a sold-out Saturday, it can survive your business.

Honest about status.

Chirograph is live. The rest is in active development, tested against prototype venues and working builds. We label what is real. When we show you a screen, it exists.
