What It Actually Does
QR Codes
Print a QR, stick it on your sample, track where it goes. Done.
Notifications
Instant alerts when your sample's scanned — even 47 times by one architecture firm over nine weeks.
Analytics
See which samples get attention. One: 1,000+ scans. Another: 2. Know the difference.
Team Access
Share data with your team. Everyone sees the same results.
History
Every sample keeps a full scan timeline.
Security
Your data's encrypted. Access controls included.
Takes two minutes to set up, 30 seconds to print and apply. Inkjet works best — thermal fades in sunlight.
Your Samples Are Out There
Demo recording this week. Want to see it now? I'll walk you through it personally.

Your Samples Are Out There
Where do your samples end up?
Inspiring projects? Sitting in a drawer?
Plasticiet used to send out hundreds. 80% vanished. Then they attached QR codes. One sample was scanned 47 times over nine weeks by a major architecture firm — resulting in a €500K order.
That order probably would've happened anyway. But SampleSync got the right info to the right people at the right time.
Most samples won't lead to huge orders — but they should lead to insight. Know who's scanning, what's ignored, and where to follow up.
Stop guessing. Start knowing.
Testimonial
“SampleSync has genuinely changed how we connect with designers. Before, getting our products in front of the right specifiers was hard. Now it's clear and direct. You can tell it's built by someone who understands both sides. It just works.”
Testing With Plasticiet Since August 2024
I worked at Plasticiet's factory for a year. Produced recycled plastic sheets, built furniture, sent out hundreds of samples to architecture and design studios.
The co-founder said to me: "If only we could attach a code to each sample to track it."
I thought: I can build this. So I did.
"SampleSync has genuinely changed how we connect with designers. Before, getting our products in front of the right specifiers was a real challenge. Now it's straightforward. The platform helps us reach studios that are actively looking for materials like ours. It cuts through the noise, and we appreciate how it's clearly built by someone who understands both sides. It just works."

After Dutch Design Week, they'll move to a paid plan.
What's Next
Dutch Design Week: 18-26 October 2025 (starts in 2 weeks)
Plasticiet's booth giving out 1000 samples with QR codes. Big validation test.
How It Works
1. Generate QR Code
Add specs and details. Takes two minutes.
2. Print and Apply
Inkjet works best. 30 seconds.
3. Track Scans
Anyone scans with their phone. You get notified. The dashboard shows who's interested and who's not.
Working: QR generation, scanning, notifications, dashboard.
Refining: Export tools and automated triggers.
Being honest — this is what testing looks like.
Let's Talk About Your Samples
I'm not trying to sell you a subscription. I want to know if this solves your problem.
Tell me: Are you sending out samples and 80% disappear?
I'll tell you: If this solves it or if you need something different.
We'll figure out: Pricing for your volume. Make it work for you.
Working with me:
- I reply to emails within an hour (7am-8pm European time)
- If you need a feature, I'll build it or tell you why it's a bad idea
- No account managers, no support tickets, direct access
- You help shape what this becomes
- 30-day free trial, I personally walk you through setup
Current state: I've got one customer (Plasticiet) testing this properly. Multiple producers in conversations, waiting for Dutch Design Week results (18-26 October).
Goal: Three more paying customers by year's end. You'd be customer number two (or three, or four).

Ollie Micek — Founder of SampleSync
The Architecture Years
Master's from Melbourne. Studied at TU Delft. Worked five years on large projects in Rotterdam and Melbourne.
Three weeks into one facade design, the material got discontinued. Lost ten days. That happened more than once — wrong data, vanished samples, poor communication.
The Factory Year
Left architecture. Joined Plasticiet. Made sheets, furniture, and sample packs. Sent out hundreds — most disappeared.
Same problem, new perspective.
The Moment
Plasticiet's co-founder said, "If only we could attach a code to each sample."
I thought: I can build this.
The Build
I'd started a CS degree before architecture. Dropped out.
During COVID, taught myself to code properly. Built SampleSync in nine months — nights and weekends. Paused it. Picked it up again when Dutch Design Week appeared.
The Test
August–October 2025: 500 samples tracked, 5,000 scans, €500K order logged.
It works.
Now
Working from my studio in Schiedam. 12-hour days.
SampleSync is 20% of my week; client dev work fills the rest.
Goal: three more paying customers by year's end. You could be next.
The edge: I've lived both sides — specifying and producing. No one else building sample-tracking software has worked in a material factory and watched their own samples vanish.
If Your Samples Are Disappearing Into the Void
I've been the architect losing days to discontinued materials.
I've been in the factory watching 80% of samples vanish.
Three months of testing:
- 500 samples tracked
- 5,000 scans
- €500K order from a major firm
- 10 samples returned and reused
- Circulating through 20+ Dutch studios
It works.
Dutch Design Week, 18–26 Oct 2025 — Plasticiet's 1,000-sample validation test.
They're customer number one. You could be number two.
