  • 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.

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.
