Between 2020 and 2025, we helped a minimally funded pre-seed startup grow a simple IT asset tracker into a full mid-market SaaS platform powering onboarding, lifecycle management, licensing, and IT/HR automation for hundreds of companies. The product has held G2 High Performer status for three years and received Highest User Adoption plus two more High Performers in 2025.
With only 10–15 engineering hours per week, we turned an idea into a working SaaS core in under six weeks: multi-tenant architecture, roles, onboarding, admin tools, email infra, and early UX. Weekly releases began immediately. By December, the first customer signed up.
Key Stats: Team: 1→3 engineers • ~6 weeks to MVP • Weekly releases • First commercial customer
Growing usage revealed a bottleneck: everything depended on manual data entry. We shipped bulk imports, early automations, improved large-data UX, and first IAM/MDM integrations, turning the product from a tracker into a daily operational tool.
Key Stats:
Mid-sized clients broke our early import system. We built CSVbox, added audit logs, permissions, validation, and “bulk everything”. Onboarding dropped from days to hours and mid-market deals unblocked.
“The onboarding was really slick.”

“Setyl has helped us take control of our IT assets[ … ] the platform is an integral part of our daily routines.”

Key Stats: Days→hours onboarding • ISO27001-aligned ISMS • Team 2→5 • Mid-market unlocked
Every client used a different HR/IAM system. Through a partnership with APIdeck, we shipped 2–3 integrations per week and supported 50+ HR systems. Assets, people, licenses, and cost were connected, creating a financial visibility layer.
Key Stats: 2–3 integrations/week • 50+ HR systems • Value shift: operational → financial visibility
Dozens of integrations introduced massive complexity. We built a unified integration engine with sync plans, steps, checks, error handling, retries, and normalization — keeping the codebase stable and release cadence weekly.
“Integration with Microsoft and our HRIS is excellent. Amazing support team.”

Key Stats: Predictable weekly releases • Unified sync engine • Complexity contained
Larger customers and MSPs needed multi-org control. We delivered multi-account architecture, a Partner Portal, and independent MSP onboarding. A new acquisition channel formed without increasing support load.
“An absolute game-changer[ … ] complete oversight with very little user input.”

“It helped us organize inventories, reduce SaaS waste, and streamline lifecycle management.”

Key Stats: Partner channel opened • Support load stable • Multi-tenant → multi-account
We introduced direct provisioning, automatic user creation, Onboarding Kits, and real-time license accuracy. Onboarding moved toward one-click automation.
“Everything from account creation to asset and access management is (almost!) fully automated.”

Key Stats: Manual → one-click onboarding • Real-time license accuracy • Full HR+IT lifecycle automation
