Pipeline Engine

Pipeline Engine Ltd · UK software startup · Founded 2025

The meeting got booked. We build the software that makes sure it happens.

We are the company behind Upshow, no-show recovery software for B2B sales teams and outbound agencies. It reminds every prospect before the meeting and wins them back within minutes if they do not turn up.

Our product

Upshow looks after the gap between booked and held.

Most B2B sales teams lose between 20% and 40% of booked meetings to no-shows. A scheduling tool puts the meeting in the diary. Upshow gets the prospect to turn up to it.

Before the meeting

Reminders that send themselves

The moment a meeting is booked, Upshow queues a sequence across three channels and runs it. Nobody on the team touches it.

Email
Sarah, looking forward to tomorrow at 2pm…24 hours before
SMS
Hey Sarah, still on for 2pm with TechCo?2 hours before
AI voice
Hi Sarah, calling to confirm your 2pm…30 minutes before

When they do not show

Live no-show recovery

Five minutes after the start time, Upshow reaches out by voice, SMS or email, whichever the team has chosen.

How it is built

Claude checks every message before a prospect sees it.

A reminder that invents a detail or promises something the host never offered does more harm than no reminder. So no message leaves Upshow on a single model's say-so.

  1. Draft

    Written for one prospect and one meeting

    A fast model drafts each email and SMS from the booking, the prospect's details and the host's own case studies.

  2. Review

    Claude Sonnet is the quality gate

    Anthropic's Claude reviews every draft and blocks invented facts, generic copy and commitments the host did not make. A failed draft is rewritten before anything sends.

  3. Replies

    An independent judge that can only say stop

    In the reply agent we are building, a separate Claude call decides whether a proposed action is right for that prospect. It can halt an action. It cannot widen one.

The company

Built to fix our own problem.

Pipeline Engine began as an outbound agency that was paid only when prospects showed up to the meetings it booked. We looked for software to make sure people turned up, and found nothing that did the job.

So we built it. That tool became Upshow, and building software is now what the company does.
