SCALABLE GLOBAL SOLUTIONS JSC
MISSION
Our focus is to drive, create and optimise our client´s impact in their market by creating a Department as a complete solution for their business growth.
VISION
To become the global DaaS provider. We are introducing a new concept to clients that enable them to become more successful and competitive. Their success is our success!
THE ISSUE
The global SME sector desperately needs cost-saving, process optimization, and finding talent. This has forced 96% of all companies in Europe to adapt and rethink their business strategy. Target market companies face problems such as:
DRIVING EFFICIENCY
- Not using state–of–the-art processes.
- The value chain can be improved.
- Too many things are done in-house
- 61% increase in operational costs since 2019
WINNING TOP TALENT
- Finding the right people
- Getting talent at all
- 50% increased market shortage of competent and skilled employees in 2023
DRIVING EFFECTIVENESS
- No Business Process Optimisation implemented
- Not doing more with less management
- 58% increase in employment cost in the last decade
Lack of competent and skilled labor is the key challenge to 25% of small and medium businesses in 2020 – the number is close to 50% in 2022. Having a highly-skilled employee base is crucial for innovation.
SOLUTION
DaaS The Future of Employment With DaaS, we enable clients to build and manage their remote teams and whole departments in our offices in Croatia. The game-changing solution is that our clients:
Get access to a worldwide talent pool
Handpick who they want to hire
Do not need to create a subsidiary
Can easily manage their new team and department with our SGS ONE software
EXECUTIVE LEVEL FEEDBACK
We Understand
Recognise the need to make strategic changes in OPERATIONS, BACK OFFICE & HR, focusing on optimising the processes & reduce costs
We are Aware
Feel that departments are not prepared to capitalise on transformational changes.

REVENUE MODEL
1) Direct Sale – Dedicated and experienced sales managers identify and directly approach suitable SMEs in assigned regions. The expected profit margins per deal range from 35%-42%.
2) Channel Partnership – Our Value-Added Resellers (VARs) have the ability to present our solutions to a wider market.
3) SGS ONE software license – SaaS subscription model.
BUSINESS MODEL
We sign 36-month contracts with our clients, which auto-renew once they expire. The average initial contract deal size is ~€100k per year, with 2 employees and an office. Orbis, our largest client, is currently employing a team of 8 people (developers and consultants), and the goal is to grow their Croatian division to 30. That single client would then be worth €1.2 million per year and open the possibility of cross-selling our other solutions, increasing the LTV of this client exponentially.
