Scanning Pens is a global leader in assistive technology focused on breaking down literacy barriers for students with dyslexia and reading difficulties.
They provide tools used by schools and educational institutions to support neurodivergent learners and enable independence through scan based learning technology.
They operate in a specialized education sales environment where school districts differ by regional regulations, laws, and funding structures, which increases the importance of accurate targeting and relevant messaging.
Scanning Pens was looking for a partner focused on building GTM systems, not just delivering leads.
While searching for this type of partner, the co founder Toby found Matteo’s profile on a SaaS Expert page and started the conversation from there.
Scanning Pens was already operating at high outreach volume and sending millions of emails per month, but performance had plateaued and higher volume was no longer producing higher quality engagement.
They needed to evolve from mass broadcasting to an engineering led GTM approach that could support global expansion while improving relevance, reply rates, and operational reliability across markets.
At the same time, the team was preparing for a high impact transition from NetSuite to HubSpot, which made data quality and process stability even more important.
