What Okapya does

Okapya Software Solutions Inc. is a privately held Canadian software company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Laval, Quebec, operating as a fully remote team of 1-10 employees. The company builds and markets four productivity and integration apps distributed exclusively through third-party marketplaces: Checklist for Jira (the original checklist app for Jira Data Center, supporting custom-field architecture, workflow conditions/validators, bulk operations, templates, REST API scripting, and Groovy/SIL scripting); Connectors for Jira (an Atlassian Forge-based integration toolkit linking Jira with Microsoft Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Calendar, Google Drive, and Google Sheets while keeping data inside Atlassian's Cloud); Checklist for monday (a native checklist app on the monday.com marketplace); and Otter Loyalty (a Shopify loyalty app acquired from Super Rewards in August 2025, offering points, referrals, VIP tiers, and membership programs with Klaviyo and Judge.me integrations).

Okapya's revenue model is built on marketplace-led, product-led growth. Atlassian Marketplace and Shopify App Store listings act as both distribution and billing rails, with freemium entry tiers (Otter Loyalty at $0/month up to 100 orders; Checklist for monday free for up to 10 users) and paid upgrades. The company maintains a documentation portal, blog, and Atlassian Service Desk-based Help Center to support self-serve onboarding, with no evidence of direct sales motion or paid marketing. Customer logos on the company website include Cisco, HP, Adobe, Airbus, Amazon, Dell, and General Electric, framed as enterprise users rather than named contracted accounts.

Operationally, Okapya is a micro-ISV with no disclosed funding, no public management team, and no parent company. Strategic activity is concentrated in two moves: a late-2021 partnership with HeroCoders to split Atlassian Cloud (HeroCoders) versus Data Center (Okapya) checklist development, and the August 2025 acquisition and rebrand of Super Rewards into Otter Loyalty, which extends the company into the Shopify e-commerce vertical. No AI or ML capabilities are advertised across the product portfolio, and revenue, ARR, and headcount figures are not disclosed.
