If I had to use one description for Saasu's UI it would be industrial. While other companies dive in and try and look like Web 2.0 consumer applications, the impression with Saasu is that it has come from the other angle in terms of aesthetics - it looks and feel like a high level enterprise application. That's neither good nor bad - if anything I'd say that the look of Saasu might be a turn-off to the web/design community while manufacturers and the like will appreciate it's robust feel.
