TARGET MARKET
______
FOCUS KEY
SME – Small & Medium-Sized Enterprises
50-5.000 employees
96%
96% of the target market has enormous potential for SGS DaaS. Global market pressure forces these clients to optimise their operations and businesses.
Investments in technologies supporting Future of Work initiatives will exceed $1 trillion worldwide by 2024 with a robust 17% CAGR over the five-year forecast period.
THE ISSUE
______
The global SME sector desperately needs cost-saving, process optimisation, 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 labour is the key challenge to 25% of small and medium businesses in 2020 – the number is close to 50% in 2023.
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.
