Say Hello to Hapn!

Written by The Hapn Team | Mar 8, 2023 2:50:12 AM

We are changing our name from Spytec GPS to Hapn.


Why are we changing our name?

We’ve been changing and improving in a thousand different ways over the last several years. Whether within our apps or hardware, changes seen or changes felt, internally or externally, we’ve been working on overdrive to provide more and better value to our customers.

At a certain point, we took a look in the mirror and realized we weren’t the same company, that we changed so significantly that we in fact had a new identity. Becoming Hapn is much more than just a name change, it signifies the final shedding of the skin of who we were.

So what? What’s the point? Why are we working so hard to improve in the first place?

We know how important our products are to our customers and we are on a mission to change what’s broken in our industry.

This change to Hapn signifies much more than just a name change. A brand is a promise and so this change to Hapn represents our promise to our customers as follows:

  1. Always on when you need it: The most reliable hardware and software.

  2. An obsession with speed: The fastest alerts and live maps on the market.

  3. A passion for serving our customers: Friendly, capable, and responsive support that is always willing to go the extra mile.

  4. Fair and honest billing: No hidden fees. We want customers to choose us because we provide the most valuable product — not because they were tricked into it.

  5. Software that strives for simplicity: Intuitively designed software that doesn’t compromise on power.

  6. We will never stop innovating: We will never stop finding ways to improve our value to our customers.

Why did we pick the name Hapn?

‘Hapn’ is a word that simply gets to the heart of the questions we answer for customers:

  • What happened?
  • When did it happen?
  • Where did it happen?
  • Why did it happen?
  • And what will happen next?

We even did a small video to celebrate our new name, our history, and our mission.

 

To make this transition easier, we’ve compiled some frequently asked questions:
