Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is entering a new era of greater efficiency, powered by advancements in artificial intelligence. And many of these Power Partners—which deliver a variety of services through the internet, including data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software—are beloved by their business customers for their innovative technology. For example, Digs, a Vancouver, Washington-based AI collaboration platform for small to medium-size builders in the construction industry, was praised by Front Light Building Company “as one of the most innovative companies I have come across in the construction digital space.” The South Carolina-based custom home builder told Inc., “Their products are cutting edge and they are creating a turnkey technology platform for builders.” One big trend in SaaS products in 2025 is breaking down data silos through open APIs and seamless integrations, so that companies don’t have to use multiple systems for every aspect of their businesses. Many clients praised these Power Partners for how seamlessly their SaaS products integrated with existing systems and processes. LaunchDarkly, an Oakland, California-based feature management platform for software teams, was highlighted by one client who told Inc. that it “fits right into our existing tools and workflows, so the team doesn’t need to change how they work,” said Peerbound, a New York City-based software company. Some Power Partners, like Zoho, a Chennai, India-based maker of cloud software for businesses, even offer a whole collection of SaaS products that seamlessly work together. “Zoho is not just one great application, but a whole entire suite of integrated applications that help power our business,” said RJG, a Traverse City, Michigan-based, full-service injection molding solutions company. “We use over 22 different apps and the ability for the suite to grow and scale with our business is incredible. They are easy to use out of the box with great user interface design, and are easily customizable for our business needs.” Featured Video An Inc.com Featured Presentation Above all, these Power Partners aren’t just creating SaaS products that work well; they’re also building relationships. “What truly sets TrewUp apart is its outstanding customer service,” said one client, the Ugly Company, a Farmersville, California-based dried fruit startup. TrewUp, headquartered in Erie, Colorado, is a platform that helps CPG brands track and manage their trade spending. “Their team is extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to addressing questions or hopping on a Zoom call. With TrewUp, we get accurate accounting data backed up by a team that genuinely cares about our success.” Be it through seamless integration, innovative technology, or simply adding a human touch within a digital space, these Power Partners aren’t just syncing—they’re scaling. By enabling their clients to focus on what they do best, these Power Partners demonstrate that strategic collaboration is the ultimate upgrade.
