R&D AT OTTER TECHNOLOGIES

Building what didn’t exist — until we built it.

Every Otter product began with a real problem. Not a market trend. Not a request for another “app.” We build tools that solve the hard problems — the ones most people avoid because they involve regulation, compliance, or legacy systems.

Case Study

Smart Forms. Real Compliance

After working with insurance companies and lawyers, we realized not a single waiver platform actually followed U.S. eSign compliance — besides general eSignature giants like DocuSign. So we built OtterWaiver, the first waiver and document system designed from the ground up for true legal compliance.

We engineered smart forms that auto‑populate legal documents, ensure correct text size, spacing, and margins, and maintain a stronger audit trail than most eSignature tools. It became not just a way to sign waivers — but a smarter, faster way to manage thousands of compliant digital agreements.

Case Study

Giving the firearms industry its voice back.

When carriers and providers started shutting down text marketing for firearm brands, our clients asked: “Can you fix this?” We worked directly with carriers to register companies properly under SHAFT and 10DLC guidelines and built OtterText — the first messaging platform that works natively in the firearms industry.

It’s not just compliant — it’s powerful. With OtterText, ranges, retailers, and manufacturers can send, automate, and measure campaigns that drive real sales, without worrying about bans or blocks.

Case Study

Reinventing QR ordering beyond restaurants.

QR ordering existed for restaurants and bars — but not for lanes, courts, or entertainment venues. OtterOrder rethinks ordering for experiences: shooting lanes, pickleball, bowling alleys, and more.

Customers can order, tip, and pay instantly; venues manage orders, taxes, and overrides from a single dashboard. It’s speed without the POS headaches.

Case Study

Clean data. Real confidence.

We built OtterScrub because we needed it ourselves. For over a year we used internal tools to scrub both emails and phone numbers — verifying deliverability, checking Do Not Call, validating numbers, identifying carriers, matching time zones, and more.

The market had point solutions: some did emails, others did phones. None did both — and none priced it fairly for SaaS providers. So we combined everything we’d built in‑house into a unified API that scrubs email + phone together and scales with your needs.

Where We Go Next

Every OtterLabs product starts with the same question: What’s broken that no one else is fixing? From firearm tech to smart forms, compliance tools, and next‑gen communication, we’ll keep simplifying the future by rebuilding the past.
