Thanks for your analysis! The market is huge. There's a lot to be achieved on the SMB market before hitting a wall luckily.

As I said, we are flexible. We try to stay close to 1$/employee/month. We are live in the Bay Area and in Paris. And we have opportunities to open the services in other cities very soon.

Ok, thanks! We'll get back to you asap.

Anything Office Managers look for: IT support, travel arrangements, catering ... We feature providers only if they've been recommended by office managers from our community. But we can evaluate the fit together. Feel free to reach out at [email protected].

Yes, we do have features that let you manage and approve vendors and multiple approval workflows. Invoice management is on the way. What procurement systems were you thinking of?

Great question! We've already built an Amazon integration that lets office managers convert employees requests into direct purchases on Amazon. And we plan to build many more in the future.

Finding a new name will probably be on our 2018 Roadmap ;)

Hey! Thanks for your comment. Our pricing is based on the number of employees and admins using the app. For now we haven't witnessed any resistance from companies to adopt a third party service. They find value in our vendors curation and appreciate they don't have to change all their service providers thanks to our system. We grew 40% monthly during YC.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, we are building a web app and we are not planning to provide any desktop application for now.

I once spent 6 months...
