MH Software

What MH Software does

MH Software, Inc. is a privately held software company headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado, that has operated for over three decades developing connectDaily, a Java-based web calendar and resource management platform. connectDaily combines event publishing with shared resource scheduling (rooms, equipment, people) and is offered in five tiered packages ranging from the entry-level Choices 5.0 to the full-featured Enterprise 5.0. The platform runs on Apache Tomcat and supports multiple databases (Apache Derby, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, IBM DB2), with native plugins for WordPress and Joomla, Docker deployment support, a REST API for event CRUD, Google OAuth2, and LDAP/Active Directory authentication.

The company serves a diverse vertical mix spanning small and mid-sized businesses, non-profit and membership organizations, educational institutions (including Cork Institute of Technology and the University of Iowa), municipal and federal government agencies (NASA, City of West Chicago, NY Division of Criminal Justice Services), churches and religious organizations, and law firms. Distribution combines a self-serve product-led motion (free WordPress/Joomla plugins, downloadable Windows installer and WAR file, free trials) with direct sales engagement for hosted Corporate and Enterprise subscriptions and telephone-based technical support. Revenue is generated through four streams: monthly/annual hosted SaaS subscriptions, one-time perpetual software licenses, a freemium plugin model, and paid technical support services.

MH Software operates as a bootstrapped, founder-controlled private firm with no disclosed institutional investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. The company maintains an active development cadence evidenced by Version 5.0.2 (February 2026) adding Docker, REST API, and OAuth2, followed by Version 5.0.3 (April 2026) introducing an LLM-based product support chatbot. The company's owned intellectual property includes the connectDaily codebase, Section 508 accessibility compliance, and an extensive documentation library accumulated over the product's lifetime.

Direct peers

• Acuity Scheduling: Squarespace-owned appointment scheduling product for SMBs with calendar, reminders, and resource management. Directly comparable in target market (SMBs, professionals, organizations) and core scheduling functionality.
• Calendly: Scheduling and appointment-booking platform widely used by SMBs and mid-market organizations. Overlaps directly with connectDaily's event and resource scheduling core, though Calendly is optimized for external booking flows rather than internal resource pooling.
• Doodle: Group scheduling and booking platform serving SMBs, teams, and enterprises. Comparable in scheduling, reminders, and calendar integration even though it leans toward polling-style group scheduling rather than pooled resource management.
• Resource Guru: Resource scheduling SaaS that lets teams book shared people, rooms, and equipment — directly comparable to connectDaily's pooled-resources and shared-resource management capabilities, also targeting SMB and mid-market organizations.
• The Events Calendar: Popular WordPress calendar plugin for event publishing. Shares the same plugin-marketplace distribution channel and target audience (WordPress sites, organizations, educators) as connectDaily's WordPress plugin.
• Modern Events Calendar: Webnus's WordPress events calendar plugin with booking and resource features. Competes head-to-head with connectDaily for plugin downloads and SMB/mid-market website calendar deployments.

Emerging players

• Deputy: Employee and shift-scheduling platform with resource/rota management. Overlaps with connectDaily's resource management module and government/enterprise customer base, but focused on hourly workforces rather than event/facility scheduling.
• Booked (Appointment Hour Booking): WordPress appointment-booking plugin with resource assignment. Comparable plugin-marketplace distribution model and feature overlap with connectDaily's WordPress offering, smaller installed base.

Broad incumbents

• Google Calendar: Bundled, free calendar product serving billions of users. Operates in the same category but does not specialize in pooled resource management, approval workflows, or CMS-embedded calendar publishing — the niches where connectDaily competes.
• Microsoft Bookings / Outlook: Scheduling and calendar capabilities bundled within Microsoft 365. Defines the lower bound of "good enough" scheduling for enterprises and competes with connectDaily when Microsoft 365 is already deployed.
