Summary
The creator discusses the challenges of scaling a SaaS business, specifically their transportation management software called Chauffleet. They explain that while they initially thought selling their SaaS would be straightforward, it's more complex than anticipated, especially when it comes to generating and publishing individual mobile apps for each client.
