Services / SaaS development
From an idea to a product people can subscribe to.
Usually bought by founders taking a product to market, and by teams productising a tool they built for themselves.
A SaaS product is not just the feature you had the idea about. It is sign-up, tenants, permissions, billing, failed payments, an admin view for your own team, and the ability to ship changes without taking everyone offline.
We build that foundation properly and the feature on top of it, then hand over something your own engineers can extend.
What this looks like in practice
Representative builds for this service. Yours will be scoped around your tools and your process.

Questions about saaS development
How long until we can charge for it?
A first chargeable release is usually eight to twelve weeks, depending on the feature itself. Billing and sign-up are the predictable part; the product is what takes the time.
How do you handle multi-tenancy?
Shared database with row-level isolation by default, which is simpler to run and cheaper to host. Separate databases per tenant where a customer contract or regulation requires it.
Can you take over an existing product?
Yes. We begin with a short audit of the code, the data model and the deployment, then agree what to stabilise first and what to leave alone.
