8. We are a young and unconventional software company
created by experienced pricing and software professionals.
Our vision is to become the leading SaaS pricing and CPQ
provider.
We are and intend to remain a "relatively" small and agile
company that brings good ideas to life quickly.
Our main objective is customers loyalty due to high quality of
our service.
Despite our young age we are financially sound, have no debt
and no equity capital involved, which means that only we and
our customers are the masters of our destiny.
Our headquarter is near Munich (DE) with offices in San Jose
and Chicago (USA), Prague and Ostrava (CZ) and Hong Kong
(China).
