Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier nous aide à conclure bien plus que 50% plus d'offres que nous ne le ferions sans lui. Il s'agit d'un élément clé de notre stratégie globale et, par conséquent, de notre argumentaire de vente.
Raphael BochnerFondateur et directeur des systèmes d'information
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
