A software-as-a-service (SaaS) company focused on digital payment and business management solutions is moving its headquarters to the top floor of a downtown Lexington, Kentucky, high rise.
Sky Systemz is relocating from its 2,700-square-foot office space in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, to a nearly 14,000-square-foot commercial space on the 18th floor of the Vine Center, according to a news release. The startup, founded in 2017, has been on a hiring spree amid fast growth.
"It was no longer sustainable running our operations, sales, distribution and service center with everyone piled into a single room," said CEO Brian Nichols in the release. "With our goals to surpass a compound annualized growth rate (CAGR) of 300% over the next three years, coupled with our hiring initiatives to add 100 new staff over the next 24 months — we needed a large place to support our growth and expand even more when ready."
Sky has grown from a small team consisting of Nichols, a few family members and a couple friends, to more than 50 employees after hiring 15 new staffers last month. The new location will allow the company to hire and relocate talent in Kentucky, the release continued.
The company plans to move into the office in mid-July. Current plans include private offices for leadership, multiple conference rooms, an open collaborative environment for sales and customer success teams and an audio/video studio for the marketing team.
"This new office gives us the space to hire and train staff, support our customers, and build new features efficiently from a central office," Nichols said. "Now, with a streamlined growth process in place, I am very excited to see what we accomplish in the years ahead as we scale nationwide."
Sky launched its point-of-sale and payment processing system in late 2019. It aims to take on the likes of Square, Toast and Shopify by offering customizable solutions for professional service customers — a market it believes has been overlooked.
