Bigtincan Holdings Ltd (ASX: BTH)

The first small cap share to look at is Bigtincan. It is a leading provider of enterprise mobility software to business across the world. Bigtincan's popular software allows sales and service organisations to increase sales win rates, reduce expenditures, and improve customer satisfaction.

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. Nitro's key solution is the eponymous Nitro Productivity Suite. This provides integrated PDF productivity and electronic signature tools to customers through a software-as-a-service and desktop-based software solution. Nitro counts a number of the largest companies in the world as customers. While its recurring revenues have been growing rapidly, it still has a huge market opportunity to grow into.

Whispir Ltd (ASX: WSP)

A final small cap share to watch is Whispir. It is a software-as-a-service communications workflow platform provider which has a total addressable market (TAM) of US4.7 billion in the just United States. Whispir provides an industry-leading software platform that allows governments and businesses to deliver actionable two-way interactions at scale using automated multi-channel communication workflows. Demand has been increasing strongly, leading to stellar recurring revenue growth in recent years. However, it is still only scratching at the surface of its TAM.
