What manastır does

Manastır is a design-oriented integrated solution agency headquartered in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, operating since 2012 with a 23-person team. The firm delivers two interlinked lines of business: large-scale event experience design and custom digital product development. Its event portfolio includes Transist (an 11th-edition transportation summit with 5,000+ visitors and 180+ exhibitors), the Istanbul Design Summit (2,500+ visitors, 30+ speakers), the Young Turkey Summit (3,000+ participants drawn from all 81 Turkish provinces), Istanbul Craft Week (500+ visitors), and the Fifteen Seconds Festival.

In parallel, Manastır develops and ships digital products, most notably three packaged offerings: Audito, an offline-first mobile audit application supporting text, video, and audio data capture; Inport, a cloud-oriented multi-module management platform (CRM, Project Management, Human Resources, Calendar, Internal Communication) targeted at small and medium enterprises; and Goodmarked, an interactive consumer platform for health, nutrition, fitness, and personal care content. Core underlying technology is web and mobile application development with offline-first capabilities for field use.

Revenue is generated through professional services contracts spanning event concept/experience design, event management, web development, and mobile application development. The customer base is hybrid: government and public institutions (Turkish transportation sector, education sector via Yildiz Technical University), enterprise organizations (TUSAŞ/Turkish Aerospace Industries, Audito enterprise users), and SMBs (Inport, Goodmarked). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the firm operates with no disclosed external funding, appearing founder/owner-operated.
