Appointment scheduling software built for barbershops, with more than 300 shops served.
revenue not reported
Gera Corte has passed 300 barbershops served, yet its own founder tells beginners to sell a paid implementation first and only turn it into an app after serving 10 to 20 clients in one niche.
Fewer bars = easier, cheaper, or faster for an AI-assisted solo builder. Editorial judgments based on the case details.
Gera Corte is Grupo Vortex's appointment-scheduling app for barbershops, and Matheus Tilli says it has passed 300 barbershops served. It sits next to the group's larger app, Gera Viral, but does a different job: it handles bookings for barbers rather than product research for online sellers. Tilli uses it to illustrate the "app" route to recurring revenue, and he is blunt about that route's weak points: hundreds of people are building the same app with the same features, and an app without users is just a pretty screen. His recommended order is the reverse of what most builders do: start with a paid implementation service for one niche, serve 10 to 20 clients, and only then turn the system into an app. Read Gera Corte as an adoption signal rather than a revenue receipt. The 300-shop count is a concrete number from the founder, but no price, active-shop count or monthly revenue is given for this app, so its economics must be checked before anyone copies them.
For Gera Corte, start with barbers who personally handle bookings between clients. Watch how they currently manage appointments, reschedules, walk-ins, and cancellations, then build a demonstration around the one part that causes the most interruptions.

Data credibility: Matheus Tilli reports that Gera Corte has served more than 300 barbershops. This is founder-reported traction; no independent customer records, active-shop count, or revenue figure is cited.
For Gera Corte, earn the first payment by solving an appointment problem that costs a shop time or causes missed bookings. Show the owner a complete booking path: a client chooses a service, finds an available time, and receives the information needed to arrive prepared.
Gera Corte can grow through a local referral loop if booking becomes more convenient for both sides of the appointment. A barber introduces clients to the booking link; clients have a smoother way to choose a time; the shop receives fewer booking interruptions; and the barber has a reason to keep the link visible.
A booking product may receive polite interest without becoming part of a shop’s routine. For Gera Corte, judge progress by whether a barber keeps availability updated and lets clients use the booking flow, not by a positive reaction to a demo.
