Orlando draws roughly 75 million visitors a year, according to Visit Orlando, more than any other US destination.
88% of customers say the experience a company provides matters as much as its products, per Salesforce's State of the Connected Customer.
Tepia clients report their apps average 4.5 stars on the App Store and Google Play, which drives downloads for guest facing apps.
Tepia’s Tampa office is about an hour from downtown Orlando along I-4, close enough that Tepia holds Discovery workshops, design reviews and Training sessions at your office in Orlando, Lake Nona, Kissimmee or Winter Park. Tepia is headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, with offices in Tampa, Pittsburgh, Austin, Las Vegas and Kansas City, and has built software for thirteen years.
Tepia’s US based leadership includes Abraham Agopian, Founder and CEO, Dustin Gordon, Director of Operations, and Brianna Martison, Director of Engineering. Every Orlando engagement has a named project manager who is your single point of contact from Discovery through Support.
Orlando is built on hospitality and attractions. Theme parks, resorts, vacation rental operators, restaurant groups, convention venues and the thousands of businesses around them need mobile apps that handle reservations, mobile ordering, wayfinding, loyalty, ticketing and guest messaging at very high volume on peak days. Tepia’s MNC Go grocery ordering app, its retail loyalty work and its push notification and offline first experience apply directly to guest facing products.
Beyond tourism, Orlando has a large simulation and training technology sector around the Central Florida Research Park, a fast growing health and life sciences district at Lake Nona, and a strong construction and home services trade driven by population growth. Tepia’s HIPAA aware architecture, demonstrated in the Water Saver Solutions app for healthcare facilities, and its field service and home improvement work (RELI Solutions) cover these needs.
Orlando is also a significant church and ministry market, and Tepia built the Daily Hope iOS and Android app for Pastor Rick Warren’s ministry audience. Tepia serves the Orlando startup community too, with MVP builds engineered for retention rather than rewritten after the first round.
Guest facing products bring requirements that Tepia plans for from the start: very high download volume in short windows, multilingual interfaces for international visitors, accessibility to WCAG 2.1 AA, push notifications that respect quiet hours, and integrations with property management, ticketing and point of sale systems through REST APIs. Tepia builds peak day load testing into the Beta schedule so the app holds up on a holiday weekend.
Tepia is US led with individually sourced global talent. Your project manager, design lead and engineering lead are based in the United States, and the engineers on your product are hand picked individuals working in US overlapping hours, which covers the Eastern time business day completely.
For Orlando clients, Tepia holds the Discovery kickoff, major design reviews, user acceptance testing and Training on site, with the team driving over from Tampa. Weekly status calls run on video with a shared project board. Tepia handles PCI DSS scoping through tokenized Stripe and Square payments, so guest facing apps never store card data, and manages App Store and Google Play review compliance so a seasonal launch date holds.
Tepia is not a body shop. You will know the names of the engineers on your product, and they stay with it from Alpha through Launch and into Support. For a hospitality business that means the team that built your guest app is the same team adjusting it after your first peak season, using real usage data rather than guesses.
Tepia’s six phases run the same in Orlando as everywhere. Discovery (typically 1 to 3 months) includes system investigation of your property management, POS or booking systems, interviews with guests, staff and managers, and third party integration review. You receive an Investigation Summary, an Interview Summary and User Stories. Design produces a design questionnaire, moodboards, a style guide, detailed wireframes and sample designs.
Development and Testing runs on Alpha and Beta schedules with functional, user acceptance and non functional testing, including load testing for peak day traffic. Training covers in person sessions in Orlando and remote sessions using user story scenarios. Launch includes data migration, transition from the old system and Tepia support reps on rollout.
