Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a pivotal role in driving global economic growth, stimulating development and competitiveness. According to the World Bank, in emerging markets SMEs generate 7 out of 10 jobs and contribute up to 40 % of national income.

Operations teams (large and distributed teams across different locations and regions) are the heart of these SMEs and bottom-line drivers. Most of these teams work in a manual and disorganized setup preventing them from unlocking their full efficiency potential. They are aware of these inefficiencies and understand technology solutions customized to their unique processes are vital to working better and discovering insights that will help in achieving business goals.

Unfortunately, the majority of these SMEs invest in software solutions like ERPs for their senior management teams neglecting the operations teams. One of the key reasons is that operations functions are unique and dynamic to each team, this makes it challenging to build or acquire software solutions that addresses all those needs. These SMEs are hesitant to invest because it’s expensive to build or acquire custom solutions for their operation teams.

As these SMEs scale, so do their technology needs. However, it is challenging to scale their current traditional software stack at the same rate as their businesses. It takes time and money to build or purchase software to address their new business use cases. One option is to subscribe to SaaS packages that meet the needs of a single use case. The problem with this approach is having so many SaaS solutions to cater to each unique use case becomes costly (cost per user subscribed) and worse, silos your data making it difficult to have a holistic view of what’s going on.

In today's dynamic business environment, management teams, owners, and shareholders across various organizations face a common challenge: the need for a robust centralized business management system that serves every team in an organization. Such a system must not only proficiently capture (via forms), organize (in tables or data views), and report (through visual and statement reports) business data, but also empower them with insights to make informed decisions for guaranteed success and minimized risk.

However, most existing business management systems offer limited functionality, focusing primarily on data handling. They lack the capability to glean actionable insights from this data without additional BI tools and technical expertise. This gap in functionality becomes a significant roadblock, especially for small organizations constrained by the high costs of advanced tools and resources.

At OnSpace, we strongly believe business software should be simple, centralized, insightful and accessible to everyone in an organisation of any size. And our mission is to make enterprise software simple and accessible for every organization.

OnSpace not only allows your teams to capture (forms), organize (table or data view), and report (visual and statement reports) their business data, but most importantly, it provides powerful features that extract key insights from your data in real time to help you make informed decisions for guaranteed success and minimized risk.

Our focus is on the human side of work, because we understand that all work, whether by individuals or a team, is done through communication and collaboration — by people like you and me. OnSpace also allows your team to keep communication about work inside the platform through our form chatting features.

As a no-code platform, OnSpace is designed to perfectly scale with your business by putting the power of developing your use-case-specific tools in the hands of your teams, just like Lego for applications and be a place where all work and communication can live. It’s simple and intuitive to use, but under the hood, it offers powerful global standard business application features for teams.

We believe the key to business success is teams, especially large, distributed operations teams, having a flexible tool that allows them to design solutions to capture and organize data, communicate and collaborate, and most importantly, extract valuable insights to make informed decisions, all in one place.

We want our users to be in control of their digital transformation at all times, so everything we do on OnSpace is designed to make that simple. Users can quickly and easily digitize their team's operation functions within minutes and start working, communicating, and collaborating immediately without breaking a sweat. Most importantly, these teams can start getting real-time insights from their data to make better data-driven decisions every day.

We envision a future where business software is not a complex implementation and acquisition process but a simple plug-&-play tool for SMEs in all industries and sizes around the world. This is the future of business software, a future where SMEs will increase in revenue performance, improvement in customer satisfaction, increased profit results, create more jobs, contribute more than 40 % of their national income, and eventually take global economic growth to the next level.

At OnSpace we are excited to build a new kind of enterprise software for all SMEs across the world.
