We are Money Forward i, a start-up subsidiary of Money Forward. Starting out in September 2020, we are building the future of SaaS Management. We enable companies to easily manage the cloud services they use, at any scale.
We are living in a cloud-based era where a large part of our work and communication happens online. The number of SaaS is being used inside each company as well as the number of new SaaS increased rapidly in recent years.
A survey shows that the average number of SaaS used inside US companies increase 14 times since 2015, from 8 to 110 SaaS**.**
With the pandemic came, the movement toward a cloud-based work environment is now stronger than ever, so is the need to manage a whole bunch of new tools that companies added.
That is where we came in to build a new SaaS Management Platform (SMP).
We released the first MVP (closed-beta) in May 2021, and to the public on November 11th, 2021 with 100+ SaaS integrations and 70+ early adopters (companies). 🎉
Companies can now use our SaaS dashboard to manage their employee SaaS usage, receive timely alerts on retired employee accounts, detect shadow IT, and much more.
There are still many things on our roadmap that we are implementing though. So it is still an exciting time ahead, there are a lot of things to try and learn.
