Custom SaaS application development solutions
Internet is changing, so is its consumption. Unleash the power of cloud computing and serve your software application over it.
SaaS is here, and it is here to stay.
SaaS stands for Software as a Service, it is a software distribution model that is hosted and operates on the cloud using a third-party host provider.
Being a cloud-hosted software application, it is highly scalable (and by ‘highly’ I mean it can be scalable to virtually infinite users). Most of the SaaS applications are served on the subscription model that opens up a whole new channel of software monetization which was hard to leverage earlier.
It allows users to access their centrally saved data across the devices. A SaaS application is not only highly scalable but is highly versatile as well. For example, look no further than your everyday used software, Dropbox; it’s available on your PC, smartphone, tablet - all in sync at the same time. We are surrounded by SaaS products on the internet. Do you remember when was the last time you downloaded and installed a ‘.exe’ software?
There are several other reasons for moving to a cloud-based software serving system.
-
Multi-TenancyWe build SaaS apps on robust multi-tenant architecture that can force authenticate and authorize access to sensitive resources and databases.
-
ScalabilityHigh configurability and scalability to cope with the growing user base are the beauty of SaaS model, even if it is "one-size-fits-all" type software.
-
AutomationConnectivity with other software in the market via API development enhances the capabilities of your app, which opens a new channel of communication.
Tech stack that we utilize to power the SaaS apps
The technology used under the hood of a SaaS-based application should be chosen wisely. If your favourite app or prospecting competitor in the market is using the stack of Nginx, MySQL and Python. It doesn’t necessarily mean you should only go with that stack.
-
Performance with scalabilityChoosing the right tech stack is crucial not only for the features set that the app has to offer, but also for robustness and scaling capabilities.
-
Full-stack developers at your serviceWhether you are technical or not, our team will assist you in choosing the right tech stack that will help you build the top-of-the-line SaaS application. You can confidently rely on our team of full-stack developers who are well experienced in Django, ReactJS, Angular, Python, Vue, Cloud and DevOps.

"We are glad to have them (Webisoft) as our development partners at PING CRM. They know their stuff inside out when it comes to developing a well-connected SaaS app."

You need developers who not only talk code, but also understand CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization), user experience, and other key growth metrics. We know how important are these metrics for any SaaS business, and we do regard them in our development process.
-
1
Retention
If the application is unable to keep the user on the platform the retention rate will definitely go down. There are several things that can affect retention, like bad user experience, high load times caused by bloated code used in development.
-
2
Churn Rate
Nobody likes losing customers, neither do we. Before starting on developing the product. First, our business analyst will brainstorm with you or your business strategist and analyze if there are any loopholes in the product ideation that could affect the churn rate later.
-
3
Nurturing
Nurturing refers to fostering the relationship with the user at every stage of the platform in use. Whether it is the first landing experience, through the signup flow, free trial offer period, while taking them through a referral loop, or on the paid subscription opt-in page. The nurturing should flow throughout the platform.
-
4
Referral Integration
Adding an inbuilt referral management system into a SaaS isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Referral system opens a whole new channel of inbound marketing for SaaS businesses that are driven by real customers who acts like a brand ambassador for the product. Dropbox, Airbnb, and now Robinhood (which brought more than 1 million users with referrals alone even before the launch) are all great examples of top-notch referral system integration.
-
5
Customer Acquisition
Customer acquisition is not only the responsibility of marketers but the product should also be made in a flow that converts the user into a customer as they start using it. After all, you can't ask your marketers to sell rotten tomatoes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our excited clients ask a lot of questions (that we love to answer), here are some of the frequent ones.
-
Can you incorporate with our in-house team of developers and deliver the product?
Sure, we do work as an extending arm of development for companies of almost all sizes and shapes. You can surely rely on our expert developers to work with your existing team in sync and deliver the product to defined requirements.
-
What technology stack do you use to build cross-platform SaaS apps?
Generally, we use Django as the Python framework to build custom cross-platform SaaS applications from the ground up. And if you have some different requirements where Django would not be a good fit, then we do have other full-stack developers who work on ReactJS, Angular, Vue and other programming languages all day long.
-
Do you work on API integrations with other apps?
Right from the beginning of the strategy phase, we make sure that the app should be designed in a way to work seamlessly with other apps in the market or with the in-house legacy app of the company. To make the app connected with other apps, we do work on API integrations.
-
What is the average turn around time to get the MVP in hand to test?
Though the time required to build a custom SaaS app is completely dependent on its complexity. However, it is viable to expect around 8 to 16 weeks of work to have an MVP to test the waters.
-
What should you look into your SaaS developers?
Rapid Prototyping - They should be able to provide the MVP with rapid prototyping so that you can pitch out to your angel investors, collect feedback from beta users, and test the app to get a glimpse of how your developed SaaS product will work like.
Understand Startups - They should understand the hustle of startup founders and have the privilege of working with some of the wisest ones. They should have experience working from ideation to development to maintenance and support.
Near-Shore Outsourcing - With a near-shore service provider you don’t need to worry about quality control, communication issues, rapid prototyping and strong NDA assurance of your SaaS development. Which you can’t get with those overseas companies like from south-Asia. We’ve already covered a complete article on why you should choose near-shore outsourcing and not overseas.
-
Why building a SaaS product makes sense?
SaaS offers services as per the user's needs and only charges them for the services used by them. No user wants to pay hundreds and thousands of dollars upfront for new software.
This is where the SaaS model comes to the rescue. As I’ve already mentioned before that the SaaS model is highly scalable, you can charge the users based on the services used by them. Having 20 users with a $50/month subscription is way better than a frustrated one-off $1000 user.
SaaS is secure! This is 2021 and no digital entrepreneur is advocating building a SaaP (Software as a Product) application. Why? Because they all are well aware of the power of the SaaS model. Since your SaaS application is hosted and served from your cloud servers, you control it! Gone are the days when entrepreneurs lose their sleep because of their software piracy.
You can limit the users to any functionalities you want. They will not have the access to your technology used. They might or might not need to download a SaaS application on their devices. Since the software is served through your third-party cloud storage, it's typically not platform-oriented, so it is not necessary to install an application on a device. Just log in and the users are good to go anywhere virtually on any supported device.
SaaS products are set to grow exponentially. Think about the user base of Buffer, Evernote, Airbnb and to name a few. All these services are served on a cloud-based SaaS model.
As per a survey, by 2021, 73% of organizations will be using all or mostly SaaS solutions.
