This was a 50% increase over the prior corresponding period.

Nitro Software Ltd (ASX: NTO)

Another small cap ASX share to look at is Nitro. It is a software company  aiming to drive digital transformation in organisations around the world.

This provides integrated PDF productivity and electronic signature tools to customers through a software-as-a-service and desktop-based software solution.

Whispir Ltd (ASX: WSP)

A final small cap share to watch is Whispir.
