What early users are saying
Teams using Open the Doors during the beta program are already seeing results.
“We went from a shared Google Sheet with 80+ platform logins to a single dashboard where every access request is tracked and approved. Onboarding a new engineer used to take half a day — now it takes ten minutes.”
Alex K.
IT Lead
Series B SaaS startup, 120 employees
“Before Open the Doors, I had no idea how many subscriptions we were paying for or when they renewed. Now I get a calendar view of every renewal date and can actually plan the budget. We caught three duplicate subscriptions in the first week.”
Maria S.
Head of Finance
Digital agency, 85 employees
“The Slack integration is what sold us. Our team lives in Slack, and being able to request access, approve requests, and search for tools without switching apps has been a huge productivity win.”
Daniel R.
Engineering Manager
Product company, 200 employees
“Offboarding used to be a nightmare — we'd find ex-employees still had access to tools months after leaving. Now the offboarding flow handles everything in one go. The automated reminders are a lifesaver.”
Sophie L.
People Operations
Remote-first company, 60 employees
“I love that I can just ask the AI assistant 'where can I create wireframes?' and it tells me which platforms we have and how to get access. No more bothering my manager for every tool question.”
James T.
Product Designer
Fintech startup, 150 employees
“As a CEO, I finally have visibility into our entire SaaS stack. I can see what we're spending, who owns what, and whether our governance policies are actually being followed. That peace of mind is worth it alone.”
