airSlate is a global SaaS technology company that serves tens of millions of users worldwide with its no-code workflow automation, e-signature, and document management solutions. The company's portfolio of award-winning products, airSlate , pdfFiller, and signNow, empower teams to digitally transform their organizations to run faster and easier.
airSlate was founded in 2008 with the goal of solving a simple problem that originally had nothing to do with workflows: how to create fillable and editable forms and documents from PDF files. Today, the product that came from that original effort - pdfFiller - is used by millions of people around the globe. Since then, airSlate has expanded its solutions and no-code workflow automation to empower non-technical users to digitally transform their front and back-office business processes, such as employee and customer onboarding, sales and ordering workflows, contracts and payments.
Nearly 885K customers and more than 100M users across over 200 countries have realized significant improvements in the delivery and effectiveness of their departments through airSlate’s fully-digital, remote-work-first environment. Individuals and teams can collaborate at any time, from any device, on any cloud, supported by industry-leading security and compliance standards to keep all important data safe and secure.
- If you are providing written answers for your submission, you must provide an answer to this second question: Outline the organization's achievements since the beginning of 2020 that you wish to bring to the judges' attention (up to 250 words):
Total 230 words used.
With exponential growth to its user base, fresh financing, new product launches, and a rapidly expanding global team, airSlate has found significant success in the business process automation, eSignature and document management markets.
airSlate's solutions have been proven to help individuals and teams collaborate effectively and work more efficiently. In 2020, numbers climbed 85% year-over-year to 43MM users. In 2021, those numbers grew by 99% year-over-year to more than 100MM users. Additionally, airSlate expanded its global team from 732 employees in 2019 to 1,000 in 2022.
In 2020, the company launched its newest product, airSlate, offering an end-to-end workflow ecosystem for customers. The solution gives teams the power to build and automate any part of their workflows using a single, no-code, easy-to-configure solution.
airSlate announced two substantial rounds of financing in 2021, including $40MM from Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital and General Catalyst, and $50MM in debt financing from Silicon Valley Bank. In addition, the company announced several major partnerships and integrations, including with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft.
The pandemic continued to fuel a huge IT skills gap. To combat this, airSlate launched a free resource center, airSlate Academy, to help educate and empower those who want to transform their businesses. airSlate Academy gives the opportunity to dive in and learn how to implement impactful digital transformations for their company and now has over 19,000 enrolled users.
- If you are providing written answers for your submission, you must provide an answer to this third question: Explain why the achievements you have highlighted are unique or significant. If possible compare the achievements to the performance of other players in your industry and/or to the organization's past performance (up to 250 words):
Total 169 words used.
The launch of airSlate Academy continues to grow and is well on its way to meeting its goal to support democratizing automation for businesses of any size. Large enterprises will no longer be the only businesses that benefit from creating centers of excellence when using more complex solutions. Now, those same resources are available to anyone at any business level and size - experienced coders or not - and for free.
In addition, the company’s launch of its airSlate product in 2020 was a significant differentiator for the business and what was currently available in the market. airSlate’s closest competitors only offer point-based solutions, meaning customers have to bring together multiple disparate systems to meet their workflow goals. The launch of airSlate eliminated that need, offering up the first-of-its-kind, end-to-end workflow automation solution for teams. The company is well on its way to establishing itself as the leader in no-code innovation and has set its sights on capturing a significant share of the workflow automation and document management markets.
