July 14. By Dave Yochum. Groupeasy, a software solution for group communication, collaboration and scheduling, has officially launched after more than three years in development by Huntersville co-founders Dawn and Joe Hewitt.

Their concept for Groupeasy was born in 2017. While they’re still operating out of their home, Groupeasy has three full-time employees and more than a dozen off-site hourly/part-time people who support communications, development, operations, marketing and sales.

A fix for ‘scatter’ problems

The Hewitts said Groupeasy solves the communication, organization and data scatter problems faced by groups with software that contains just the right amount of process and structure.

“As active group leaders and participants for nearly four-decades of our lives, we witnessed the underperformance of groups when over-relying on e-mail and single-purpose web applications that created inefficient processes and scattered information,” CEO Dawn Hewitt said.

The advertisement-free web application embraces an affordable subscription-based model, including a free option for fewer than eight members.

Pricing

The cost is $15 a month for groups up to 35 members, $25 a month for groups up to 125 members and $50 a month for up to 1,000 members.
