Client Background
A German SaaS provider specializing in employee well-being solutions sought to expand its strong home-market presence into Austria and Switzerland. As the company prepared for broader DACH growth, it needed clear visibility into comparable buyer profiles and prospective pilot-ready organizations beyond Germany.
Client’s Challenge
While the client had established product-market fit in Germany, replicating this success across the DACH region presented key hurdles. They lacked visibility into comparable buyer profiles in Austria and Switzerland and had a lean sales team with limited bandwidth for outreach. The brief to Mordor Intelligence was to identify HR and workplace innovation leaders in these markets who would be open to piloting a well-being platform and to support early-stage conversations that could unlock market entry opportunities.
How Mordor Intelligence Helped
Curated Prospect Universe Across DACH
- Identified mid-sized enterprises prioritizing employee engagement and well-being across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
- Profiled organizations based on readiness for innovation and internal appetite for pilot initiatives.
Mapped Decision-Makers and Influencers
- Targeted and sourced HR Heads, People & Culture leads, and Wellness Program Managers aligned with the client’s value proposition.
Qualified for Pilot Potential
- Conducted outreach to introduce the platform and assess interest in pilot participation.
- Segmented leads by engagement likelihood and internal change-readiness, enabling targeted follow-ups.
Key Findings
- Austrian and Swiss enterprises showed comparable interest in employee well-being, but decision-making cycles were longer than in Germany.
- Organizations with dedicated “People & Culture” functions were more open to pilot discussions.
- Early adopters tended to be in industries undergoing cultural or digital transformation.

- Accelerated Pilot Conversations: Equipped the client’s sales team with ready-to-engage leads, saving time on research and improving speed to engagement.
