Browse Open PositionsWe deliver efficiency.
We measure our success by the amount of time saved and paperwork eliminated.
We don’t nickel and dime.
Our competitors love charging fees for setup, online training, maintenance and upgrades. We do not. There are no hidden fees and no surprises. We operate transparently.
Software should be affordable.
Which is why our service is priced reasonably with no server required.
Great service matters.
We take our responsibility seriously. We pride ourselves on our fast e-mail replies and 24/7 accessibility. Whether you are in Hong Kong, Geneva or New York, we are awake when you are.
Our schools are our investors.
They fund our development by paying for our service and by providing us with new ideas. We answer to them.
We are patient long-term builders.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “Energy and persistence conquer all things.” We work hard to build great software and to exceed expectations.
For most technology companies, there is a sea of noise drowning out signal: PR, fundraising and vanity metrics are often mis-interpreted in place of true success metrics. Signal for us means customer success with well-designed products and a strong, effective and long-term oriented team.
We are a Thoroughbred Horse, rather than a Unicorn: Unicorns vs. Horses
These 3Rs are essential for a global software company. Our multi-disciplinary team works across our 9 offices, with further colleagues working remotely from 8 additional cities. Remote culture builds accountability towards results and guarantees excellence in service through 24/6 support coverage. While a diversity of nationalities and time-zone differences can create short-term challenges, we believe it provides the best long-term structure to serve customers.
When you join a company outside of salary & bonus remuneration, you gain experience in seeing things done both right & wrong. You see how products are shipped, how mistakes & challenges are addressed, how initiatives & new product development occurs. Over time through observation, you learn processes, systems and benchmarks for service levels & costs – collectively our way of doing things.
Historically within SaaS globally, we are in the top 1% efficiency category across annualised churn, CLTV / CAC and product ROIC with a combined ratio that has consistently exceeded 100% annually.
Certain companies are built by accident – an idea on a napkin, a nagging problem. Our process for market selection and product development is deliberate and filtered against the Faria Success Metrics inspired by SoftBank.
