# Throwback Thursday: Why did you switch to Fotaflo?
August 8, 2019
We've been doing this for a while! Here's a short video from another long-time client, [ZipQuest](https://www.zipquest.com/), from over 7 years ago.
We often hear horror stories about how businesses previously cobbled together their own photo sales or marketing system. Most of the time this means an incredible amount of manual effort to take photos, upload them, sort them, and finally figure out how to deliver them to guests. Some businesses have even gone down the extremely expensive path of developing their own custom software!
We've spent nearly a decade and worked with hundreds of businesses developing a solution that works for all types of tours and experiences. Why spend time worrying about custom technology and unreliable, manual processes when you could be focusing on what's most important to your business: [providing an amazing guest experience!](https://www.fotaflo.com/blog/improve-guest-and-staff-experience-with-your-photo-marketing-service)
This video from ZipQuest explains how Fotaflo removed the manual headache from operating their previous in-house photo solution.
