What TimeSquare does

TMSQR B.V. (TimeSquare) is a Netherlands-based B2B SaaS provider of branded native festival and event applications, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Leiden. The company operates as a subsidiary of Zooma Group, an established Dutch digital agency, and employs a team of 25 developers, designers, and strategists operating from its own facility, De Dorus, in Leiden. Its core offering comprises two deployment models: TMSQR Standalone Apps (fully branded native iOS and Android apps with dedicated App Store presence, priced at €265–€480/month annually) and TMSQR Platform Apps (lower-cost in-app presence within the main TMSQR ecosystem, gaining exposure to hundreds of thousands of existing users). Add-on modules include a CMS, analytics dashboard, API, Conference App, Dual App, Delegates Database, scheduled push messages, TMSQR Embed, and TMSQR Web.

The platform is built on Compose Multiplatform (Kotlin), enabling a single shared codebase for both iOS and Android — a full rebuild completed in July 2026 that replaced the previous separate native implementations. Underlying infrastructure uses Firebase for push notifications and app indexing, with Spotify integration for resident artist discovery and Stager for ticketing and scheduling data. The company is ISO 27001 certified (via Zooma Group) and operates a security-by-design model with no advertising or data-selling business model.

TMSQR's go-to-market is sales-led, targeting festival and event organizers through direct consultation, demos, a structured 6-step onboarding process, industry-conference presence (ESNS, SXSW, Future Of Festivals, c/o pop), and a referral program offering stacking discounts up to 50%. It serves 100+ festival and event clients across 25+ countries including Le Guess Who?, Big Ears, Roadburn, c/o pop, Waves Vienna, Cheltenham Festivals, Qstock, and MENT Ljubljana, spanning music festivals, performing arts, conferences, wellness, cultural, and digital-arts segments.
