The company’s core offering is a cloud-based e-commerce platform specializing in B2B verticals. It is lauded for its innovation in upholding business values and adapting to changing customer needs. The company has been recognized with the Best Data Storage- Powered Loyalty & Rewards SaaS Platform 2025, we take a closer look at Enertia below. Contact: Ishmael Khan Company: Enertia Worldwide Web Address: https://www.enertia.world/index.html One of the main problems with loyalty and rewards programs is that they often fail to resonate with customers, with many businesses facing low engagement across the initiatives they offer. This, combined with complex redemption processes and an apparent unwillingness to update programs to reflect the modern needs of users, has left this space stagnant for far too long. That was until Enertia Worldwide came along two years ago – introducing a comprehensive suite of technology solutions designed to transform the industry. Those who choose to partner with Enertia experience a company that truly lives its values, all of which are centred around respect — respect for teamwork, respect for customers, respect for urgency, respect for quality, and, ultimately, respect for all. Complementing this culture of respect is Enertia’s unique formula: innovation + imagination = determination. With determination and respect as its foundational pillars, Enertia’s ability to build winning cultures for its clients begins at home — within its own ranks. As a name that connotes trust in the realms of technology and rewards, Enertia is guided by its core mission of empowering individuals and businesses of all sizes across the value chain by providing affordable technology solutions that help solve large-scale challenges they face daily. On the back of this, Enertia has become a partner of choice for many global businesses, with its deep insight into loyalty and rewards programs helping clients find their competitive edge in a dynamic and unpredictable environment. The cloud-based technology solutions offered by Enertia across the rewards and loyalty space include features such as loyalty program management, points accumulation, and the option to “build your own reward web portal” complete with API integration for brand and partner catalogues. Also included are data analytics tools to understand customer behaviour and optimize programs, engagement activities, unique program metrics, digital wallet solutions, and customized app development. Across all these solutions, the goal remains the same: to help clients build strong loyalty marketing programs that drive revenue growth. A spokesperson for the company elaborated: “We provide comprehensive fulfilment solutions to ensure that the rewards offered through loyalty programs are delivered efficiently.” This is achieved through seamless API integration, effective warehouse and logistics management, and efficient order management — all underpinned by a commitment to customer care. Enertia also emphasizes ‘Enertia Payouts’, a solution designed to enhance user satisfaction by quickly converting reward points into money and transferring them directly to users’ bank accounts or digital wallets. The robust payment processing capability offered by Enertia further builds trust with both clients and users. “We are the only company in the GCC to manage the conversion of points to digital wallets and direct bank transfers to users’ home countries with full due diligence and complete documentation in place,” a representative added. Beyond the strength of its products and solutions, what truly sets the company apart is that, just over two years into its journey, Enertia has already established a worldwide presence, with offices in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Canada, and Singapore. Having also achieved ISO certification within the last few months, it is clear that Enertia Worldwide is committed to quality, consistency, and continuous improvement — all of which have contributed to its recognition with an industry award. Ultimately, Enertia Worldwide is an emerging leader in the rewards and loyalty space. Its cloud-driven solutions across program design, management, and related services position it as a standout startup dedicated to helping clients enhance customer loyalty and deliver seamlessly on their reward promises.

The SaaS-ies 2025, Acquisition International | 5 Best New SaaS Product Launch 2025 (DACH): VETconnect+ & Most Transformative SaaS Platform for Veterinary Medicine 2025 – DACH ith the world around us constantly changing, companies must remain proactive, adapting to these shifts and streamlining their efforts to ensure they stay both competitive and relevant. To do this, many businesses need to bolster their IT infrastructure and security frameworks. Enter Cybersec FlexCo, a company that believes these services should not be rigid, universal truths but rather flexible solutions tailorable to specific businesses. In this way, Cybersec is working towards its vision of a worry-free IT/security landscape. Specialising in holistic, targeted products and services across areas including cybersecurity and IT management, Cybersec’s unique approach to this field is what separates it from its contemporaries in this space. It is this drive to do things differently that saw the company realise that certain industries had their IT needs unmet, so it set about creating novel solutions for them that could more than meet their particular requirements. This ethos even led to the creation of its flagship solution, the revolutionary VETconnect+. “As the first holistic IT system solution for veterinary practices in the DACH region, VETconnect+ demonstrates our commitment to developing specialised tools that address the unique challenges of specific sectors. ” When VETconnect+ calls itself ‘complete’, it really means it. From the Provet Cloud to all of a veterinary practice’s hardware and software, VETconnect+ does it all – and in just a few simple steps. From a stable foundation – which is the first of the solution’s three ‘pillars’ – the platform offers a unique integration hub, which is where its true strength is revealed. Covering everything from payment and inventory to staff and appointment scheduling, VETconnect+ quickly becomes an invaluable business partner. Cybersec’s premier offering is then underpinned by the end-toend support delivered by the team here at every turn. Guided by a ‘your package, your choice’ mindset, Cybersec is proud to tailor the VETconnect+ software to every client’s specific circumstances. For example, if they are already happy with their current hardware, or are presently using Provet Cloud and just need a powerful integration hub to streamline processes, the team here can help. They build exactly what it is the client needs to be able to do everything. Commenting on VETconnect+ and the impact it has had on veterinary practices across the region, Sandra told us: “From our perspective, VETconnect+ is the product of ours that our clients value most, as it perfectly encapsulates our commitment to service quality and proactive action in this landscape. Clients often find the holistic nature of this solution to be particularly valuable, as VETconnect+ allows them to focus entirely on their daily work without having to worry about the complex technical details.” Alongside VETconnect+, Cybersec also offers proprietary products including Island Enterprise Browser, a solution integrating security, control, and management directly to provide a robust layer of protection; Cyber365, a product automating security audits and offering real-time IT monitoring to free up time and resources; and MSIS, its managed secure IT services option that goes beyond outsourcing to manage either part or all of a client’s IT infrastructure, resulting in peace of mind and better efficiency. In addition to these products, Cybersec’s desire to be a full-service partner to its clients sees it deliver a comprehensive range of IT services, ranging from training and consultation to management and compliance. As with the solutions mentioned above, these offerings are both scalable and can more than meet the specific needs of SMEs and larger organisations alike. Through these provisions, the company is showcasing its exceptional ability to innovate and deliver solutions designed to solve real-world issues. Boasting all of the know-how and experience to support its clients as they navigate the ever-evolving digital world, solutions like VETconnect+ demonstrate Cybersec FlexCo’s distinction in a crowded marketplace.

The SaaS-ies 2025, Acquisition International | 7 Going a step further, Vincent told us: “When we founded Ardoise, we deliberately built for what learning with AI should look like once the hype curve had played out...when the initial excitement dipped, confidence wavered, and only the solutions with true staying power remained.” As Annee added: “That foresight is paying off.” This is about more than just features; it is about solutions that set new standards when it comes to relevance, adaptability, and performance outcomes. This is seen in a number of ways across Ardoise, including in ASPECT®, its learning methodology that is reimagining how learning is carried out and how skills are acquired in this AI age. Then there is Ardoise Intelligence®, its proprietary architecture, which gives customers the confidence that Ardoise remains resilient and adaptable, even as the AI ecosystem changes. Ardoise’s confidence in its ability stems from its team, comprising experts who work together in a collaborative, interdisciplinary manner. “Our science, product, and engineering teams work closely together to design solutions”, Vincent explained, “while our client-facing teams ensure what we build directly addresses real organisational needs.” On the back of this, the company’s staff have multifaceted roles, in the sense that they must also educate, advise, and co-create with clients, helping Ardoise to build the best product. Research, therefore, is key to Ardoise’s longevity, with two members of its executive team – which boasts more than 100 years of combined expertise across areas such as human resources and learning and development – holding PhDs. The company is also passionate about partnering with universities to further research around AI in learning, seen through its current role in a three-year project with the University of Lille. With 2025 quickly winding down, Ardoise remains focused on showing the world what AI can really do for workplace learning as we move through 2026 and beyond. Be it growing its ‘skills lab’ library or expanding its footprint beyond its current holdings in France, the UK, and Japan, a number of initiatives are in place to continue to spread the message, positioning Ardoise as something truly unique in the process. It is on the back of this distinction that we are proud to recognise Ardoise with this title in our inaugural edition of the SaaS-ies. Contact: Vincent Annest & Annee Bayeux Company: Ardoise Web Address: https://ardoise.ai Most Innovative AI‑Focused Learning SaaS Start-Up 2025 – France ‘Helping humans stay relevant’ is a tagline Annee Bayeux has used for almost 10 years, stemming from her vision of a world where every person, irrespective of their role or level within an organisation, can access transformative guidance when they need it through the provision of a training programme for employees that both adapts and empowers. Recognising this vision aligned with that of training expert Vincent Annest, the two created Ardoise as a way of bringing it to life across a range of diverse industries. Built on the values of adaptability, innovation, precision, and connection, Ardoise specialises in learning experiences that are either readily available or entirely bespoke, but always tailored and deeply contextualised. Across three distinct products, Ardoise delivers AInative courses that cover areas such as onboarding, leadership skills, coaching, and more. The first of these, the Ardoise Collection, consists of standard, pre-made training courses that can be quickly tailored to any organisation. Then comes Ardoise Bespoke, where the company works with its partners to create AI-driven learning experiences unique to the particular needs and expertise of a client’s organisation. Finally, there is Ardoise Studio, an agentic authoring tool allowing learning teams to build their own AI experiences directly. As it delivers these services, Ardoise must navigate the challenges that stem from a ‘mismatch’ when it comes to the current state of AI, which is used primarily to make marginal improvements to existing processes (faster content, etc.). However, new research has shown that AI works best when it is used to rethink processes and tools from the ground up, being used as a foundational component and not an add-on. This is why the company’s approach is, at its core, a blend of technological and pedagogical innovation. “We have stood apart by showing what truly AI-driven learning looks like: context-aware, performanceoriented, and, for the first time, truly adaptive. ” Founded in September 2024 by Co-CEOs Vincent Annest and Annee Bayeux, Ardoise exists to both bridge the gap between learning and performance and help humans stay relevant in a corporate world that is changing at speeds once thought unimaginable. Ardoise thus focuses primarily on delivering training that adapts not only to the world around it, but also to the people, roles, and even the entire businesses of its clients. We had the pleasure of catching up with Vincent and Annee on the back of their company being recognised with this welldeserved award.

8 | Acquisition International, The SaaS-ies 2025 Best AI-Powered Test Management SaaS Platform 2025 – Germany Of its many uses in the SaaS environment, one of the areas where AI excels most is test management. Having harnessed this capability, aqua cloud GmbH in Germany allows clients to use AI to transform their test management, making it 97% faster and 100% stress free. Allowing the creation of test cases and data within a few clicks – from a centralised platform with deep reporting and powerful automation – aqua cloud is changing the game. Founder and CEO Stefan Gogoll was on hand for more. Contact: Stefan Gogoll Company: aqua cloud GmbH Web Address: https://aqua-cloud.io/ Guided by the belief that the pursuit of quality should empower teams and not slow them down, aqua cloud has woven this mindset into the product it has built, the support it offers to clients, and the way in which it grows as a company. Thanks to a combination of this unwavering focus and the provision of its namesake AI-powered test management system, aqua cloud has demonstrated its value across many industries, recognising that they all share one thing: the need for secure, flawless software that works at scale. The abundance of clients aqua cloud has secured on the back of this is remarkable, ranging from government agencies across Germany, the UK, and Canada to major enterprises in fields such as fintech, pharmaceuticals, IT, and the military. Some big names comprise its client base – including Nokia and Google – highlighting the impact of the platform, even on some of the most advanced, forward-thinking organisations in the world. Behind aqua cloud’s success are three key principles. First, the company is obsessive. Obsessive about trust, impeccable customer care, uncompromising security, and longterm partnerships. In fact, over 60% of aqua’s customers have been with the company for more than 5 years. Second, it is dedicated to innovation, pioneering AI features which truly transform the way teams in quality assurance (QA) work. Third, it is committed to promoting accessibility, ensuring its enterprise-grade solutions are available to all. Setting the stage when it comes to the landscape his company operates in, Stefan Gogoll told us: “The market of QA and SaaS is moving faster than ever. AI is transforming expectations almost overnight, while new security and compliance regulations are changing the way software is built and delivered. For many companies, this is a threat. For us, it’s an opportunity.” ‘AI’ is a buzzword to some, but for aqua cloud, it’s ingrained. This is seen clearly through aqua cloud being the first company in the QA space to introduce real, everyday AI features back in early 2023, delivering them in a way that genuinely simplifies test management. Since then, aqua has continuously expanded these capabilities, setting the standard for AIpowered QA. Investments in certifications and flexible hosting ensure these solutions serve even the most security-sensitive industries, while ongoing platform adaptations make aqua equally powerful for global enterprises and small teams alike. “That’s the aqua way: turning pressure into progress, challenges into opportunities, and opportunities into long-term success and a competitive edge. ” The unique standing the company has is reflected through the 80% year-on-year growth it has achieved over the past 12 months, a figure highlighting its success in this competitive market. For Stefan Gogoll: “That growth comes from staying relentlessly focused on our customers: listening closely to what QA teams need day to day, while also innovating in ways they haven’t imagined, like introducing AI copilots into test management.” None of this would be possible without the teams behind aqua cloud, with staff across product, support, and engineering embodying the customer-centric mindset that has proven so important in the success of the brand. It is thanks to these individuals that clients often describe aqua cloud as a partner more so than just an AI-driven tool. Finally, when it comes to its next steps, aqua cloud’s ability to balance innovation, flexibility, and trust continues to position it favourably in this arena. As Stefan told us: “This combination is our unique selling point: a platform that evolves ahead of the market, adapts to any environment, and builds loyalty that lasts.” More specifically, the future focus for the company is all about making AI smarter and its platform more accessible, with these directions together comprising its roadmap for 2026 and beyond. Envisioning a future where world-class testing is not just more intelligent, but within reach of everyone, aqua cloud’s test management solution for regulated industries reflects the high-quality standards that Germany, its home nation, is known for. With this quality as standard, the next step for this global QA platform is expanding to the US, one of the most ambitious and competitive arenas. For Stefan, this is about more than just growth. It is about proving that a product built on these egalitarian values can lead globally.

The SaaS-ies 2025, Acquisition International | 9 Best AI-Driven Workforce Management SaaS 2025 he story of Quinyx began with student Erik Fjellborg’s employment at McDonald’s. He saw firsthand how the unnecessary complexities of scheduling were impacting managers and staff alike and sought to address this critically overlooked challenge. In 2005, Erik founded Quinyx with a mission shaped by this experience: to create a better work-life for millions of people across an array of industries. Two decades later, Quinyx supports more than 1,000 global businesses across over 50 countries in scheduling more than 54 million hours each month. These businesses operate across a variety of sectors, including retail, quick service restaurants, logistics, and healthcare providers. Whilst each client’s size and sector may vary, they are each united by the common challenge of people-intensive operations. To address this challenge, Quinyx has built a platform that helps clients avoid fragmented work experiences, allowing managers and employees to focus on people. Juggling numerous tools can lead to multiple learning curves, duplicated efforts, and an overall fragmented experience. To streamline this process, Quinyx has combined all aspects – from timetable scheduling to employee engagement – into an all-in-one, mobile-first platform. “We’ve developed a deep understanding of our key industries and customer needs to create a tailored solution,” Erik told us. “Our design is employee-centric: mobile-first with real-time updates. If an employee needs to swap a shift for any reason, they can do it from their phone. We also look to help managers improve their team morale with engagement tools such as live feedback and recognition badges. The result: 14 million app logins a month – proof of engaged employees.” AI-powered optimisation is at the heart of this platform, injected to reduce stress for managers and make the scheduling process fairer for employees. This intelligent scheduling approach drives measurable ROI, with features ranging from forecasting staff demand to auto-scheduling that has been proven to reduce over- and under-staffing by 20%. Quinyx has grown rapidly since its inception, focusing on resilience, innovation, and positive customer outcomes. The company pays close attention to developments and shifts across its clients’ industries and has identified a recurring challenge: frontline employees often feel disconnected from company strategy. Quinyx conducted a Forrester report, revealing that 77% of frontline staff aren’t aligned with their organisation’s goals, 72% don’t understand what is expected of them, and three in four miss vital information. To close this gap, Quinyx introduced tools that help employees support each other, allowing them to swap shifts with ease, give feedback in real time, and recognise each other’s work. For customers like CitizenM Hotels, these changes have been instrumental in lifting morale and improving performance. Such endeavours reflect the core of Quinyx’s approach: first gaining an understanding of prospective customers’ needs and pain-points, then exploring how it can solve that problem by tailoring a solution. “We’ll cocreate a solution to deliver measurable impact,” said Erik. “We continue to work with them throughout the process; as they grow, as compliance legislation changes, and as they expand into new markets.” This commitment to co-creation and long-term partnership is matched by Quinyx’s investment in innovation. The company has already introduced AI forecasting and auto-scheduling to reduce over- and under-staffing and continues to enhance mobile-first engagement. As labour markets, compliance regulations, and employee expectations evolve, Quinyx remains focused on helping frontline teams thrive in a changing landscape – maintaining its status as the Best AI-Driven Workforce Management SaaS 2025. “We’re working to shape the future of frontline work – a future where technology gets out of the way, and work feels more human,” said Erik. “For us at Quinyx, that means continuous product innovation, faster global rollouts, and deeper partnerships with customers as they enter new markets.” Contact: Ned Gammel, VP Sales Company: Quinyx Email: sales.uk@quinyx.com Web Address: www.quinyx.com People-intensive industries face growing pressure to manage schedules, staffing, and engagement with greater speed and accuracy. Headquartered in Stockholm, Quinyx delivers AI-powered workforce management solutions that help businesses streamline operations, improve employee experience, and adapt to shifting demands with ease. Following the company’s recent recognition in The SaaS-ies 2025, we found out more from Founder and CEO Erik Fjellborg. T
