As Sarah continued to support business owners with their education-based business technology through her set-up services and training, she began to notice that many were struggling with the ever-increasing costs of their mounting tech subscriptions, and finding it harder and harder to tie all of their business tools together.

“Sarah! You should create your OWN platform!” her Edupreneur Academy members suggested.

Sarah’s journey encompasses over 15 years of international business success, having built a 7-figure education and training services company that started originally in the UK in early 2009, then expanded into Europe in 2010, and finally now operates globally from her home in Australia alongside TekMatix, which she added to her business portfolio in 2022 and has already been valued as an 8-figure company in its first year of operation.

During the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and with an 8-day-old baby, Sarah selflessly donated over $1.35 MILLION worth of places in her education programs to help small business owners transition online to save their livelihoods through diversification and digital business.

Our Story

TekMatix was developed based on industry demand, industry engagement and research and our CEO’s experience of working with businesses on their tech, online business operations and course creation for more than a decade.

It was identified that businesses were required to use multiple individual pieces of technology to run their operations effectively, resulting in ever-mounting costs which was becoming prohibitive to many business owners.

Business owners were also struggling to learn how to use so many different tools, were becoming overwhelmed and therefore avoiding technology altogether.

We wanted to create a better tech and course creation solution that would allow businesses to create, market, sell, and manage all their business products and services from one place, reducing costs, eliminating tech challenges, making tech more user-friendly, allow businesses to diversify their offerings, reach a global market and increase their profitability.

We surveyed our existing client base of around 150,000 and our target audience through social media channels to gauge their feedback about what an all-in-one platform would look like in an ideal world. The overwhelmingly positive response supported our project to create a SaaS product that would be customised to service businesses globally – especially those who have the added elements of courses, coaching programs, memberships and education-based products, training and services.

The goal of TekMatix was to provide an all-in-one platform that had all of the tech features a business would need, making tech easier and more affordable.

Our objectives were to create a comprehensive SaaS product that would allow businesses to go global with their offerings, diversify their income streams, expand their market, and run more efficient and affordable business operations.

With so many technological advancements in recent years, with more open-sourced tools and plugins, white-labelled technology resources and open APIs to different tools, we determined that our main goal would be to develop this solution using a customised combination of existing tried, tested, reliable and established resources as our base, and interconnected via APIs and webhooks, that would all integrate to make a unique service product for businesses and course creators.

After surveying our audience regarding what their most in-demand and essential tech solutions and tools were, we tested numerous whitelabel SaaS platforms, open APIs, apps and developers that we would be able to integrate into our unique solution.

We engaged numerous tech specialists, web developers, coders and SaaS specialists to support the development which combined existing and newly developed elements to form TekMatix.

The next stage was to run tests and open a beta plan to our existing customers between September 2022-January 2023, which saw over 754 beta sign up in the first 24 hours!

We gathered feedback from our beta testers constantly and adjusted, iterated, improved and developed further on-the-go.

Finally, we moved into ‘standard’ operations from 1st February 2023 and continue to add new and improved features and updates based on continuously sought user feedback.

We have significant custom development upcoming having recently won a large sum of funding for continued tech development, so our users are going to see TekMatix become even more amazing than it already is!

The rapid growth of TekMatix is expected to strongly continue, as users surge its growth further by their 5 star reviews, ambassador-like word of mouth promotion and major marketing and advertising phases commence.
