Our SaaS apps are built on a robust multi-tenant architecture that enforces authentication and authorizes access to sensitive resources and databases.
Custom SaaS application development solutions
The internet is evolving, and with it, the way we consume information is changing. Embrace the potential of cloud computing and deliver your software applications through it.
SaaS has become a permanent fixture in the software industry.
Short for Software as a Service, SaaS is a software distribution model that operates on the cloud, hosted by third-party providers.
As a cloud-based application, SaaS offers remarkable scalability, capable of accommodating virtually infinite users. Most SaaS applications are subscription-based, providing an effective channel for software monetization that was previously challenging to leverage.
SaaS enables users to access their data from any device with centralized storage. Not only is it highly scalable, but it is also incredibly versatile. Take Dropbox, for example—it seamlessly syncs across your PC, smartphone, and tablet. SaaS products have infiltrated our online experiences, rendering the need to download and install ".exe" software almost obsolete.
There are numerous compelling reasons to transition to a cloud-based software service.
-
Multi-Tenancy
-
Scalability
The SaaS model offers high configurability and scalability to accommodate a growing user base, even if it is considered "one-size-fits-all" software.
-
Automation
By developing APIs for connectivity with other software in the market, your app's capabilities are enhanced, creating a new channel of communication.
Tech stack that we utilize to power the SaaS apps
When it comes to a SaaS-based application, it's important to choose the technology wisely. Just because your favorite app or competitor uses Nginx, MySQL, and Python doesn't mean you should automatically go with that stack.
-
Performance and scalability are key considerations:
Selecting the right tech stack is crucial not only for the app's feature set but also for its robustness and scalability.
-
Our team of full-stack developers is here to help:
Whether you're tech-savvy or not, our team can assist you in choosing the right tech stack to build a top-of-the-line SaaS application. You can confidently rely on our experienced full-stack developers who specialize in Django, ReactJS, Angular, Python, Vue, Cloud, and DevOps.

-
1
RETENTION IS CRUCIAL:
If an application fails to engage users effectively, the retention rate is bound to decline. Factors such as poor user experience and slow load times caused by bloated code during development can significantly impact retention.
-
2
CHURN RATE:
Losing customers is undesirable for everyone, including us. Prior to commencing product development, our business analyst will collaborate with you or your business strategist to identify and address any potential flaws in the product ideation that might affect the churn rate down the line.
-
3
NURTURING:
Nurturing involves cultivating the relationship with users at every stage of their interaction with the platform. From the initial landing experience, through the signup flow, free trial period, referral loop, and even on the paid subscription opt-in page, nurturing should be consistently present throughout the platform.
-
4
REFERRAL INTERGRATION:
Incorporating a built-in referral management system into a SaaS platform is not an easy task. However, a referral system can create a new channel for inbound marketing, leveraging satisfied customers who become brand ambassadors for the product. Dropbox, Airbnb, and more recently Robinhood (which gained over 1 million users solely through referrals before its launch) are excellent examples of successful referral system integration.
-
5
CUSTOMER ACQUISITION:
Customer acquisition should not solely rely on marketers; the product itself should be designed in a way that converts users into customers as they begin using it. After all, you can't expect 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 collaborate with our in-house team of developers and deliver the product?
Absolutely! We specialize in working as an extension of development teams for companies of all sizes and shapes. You can rely on our expert developers to seamlessly integrate with your existing team and deliver the product according to your defined requirements.
- What technology stack do you use to build cross-platform SaaS apps?
Typically, we utilize Django as the Python framework to develop custom cross-platform SaaS applications from scratch. However, if your project requires a different technology stack where Django may not be the best fit, we also have full-stack developers proficient in ReactJS, Angular, Vue, and other programming languages.
- Do you work on API integrations with other apps?
Absolutely! Right from the initial strategy phase, we prioritize designing the app to seamlessly integrate with other apps available in the market or your company's in-house legacy app. Our team is experienced in working on API integrations to ensure smooth connectivity between applications.
- What is the average turnaround time to receive the MVP for testing?
The time required to develop a custom SaaS app depends on its complexity. However, on average, it is reasonable to expect a timeframe of approximately 8 to 16 weeks to complete the necessary work for delivering the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for testing purposes.
- What should I look for when Hiring SaaS developers
Rapid Prototyping: Look for developers who can provide a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with rapid prototyping. This allows you to pitch your idea to angel investors, gather feedback from beta users, and test the app's functionality before fully developing your SaaS product.
Understanding of Startups: Seek developers who comprehend the fast-paced nature of startup environments. It's beneficial if they have experience working with wise startup founders, covering everything from ideation to development, maintenance, and support.
Near-Shore Outsourcing: Consider partnering with a near-shore service provider. They offer advantages like better quality control, smoother communication, efficient rapid prototyping, and strong non-disclosure agreement (NDA) assurance for your SaaS development. Unlike overseas companies, particularly those from South Asia, near-shore outsourcing is preferred. We have already covered a comprehensive article on why you should choose near-shore outsourcing over overseas options.
- Why does building a SaaS product make sense?
SaaS offers services based on users' needs and only charges them for what they use. Gone are the days when users want to pay upfront for new software. The SaaS model allows you to charge users based on their usage, which is much more appealing. Having 20 users with a $50/month subscription is far better than having one frustrated user paying a one-time fee of $1000.
Security is another advantage of SaaS. In 2021, no digital entrepreneur advocates building a SaaP (Software as a Product) application. They understand the power of the SaaS model. With your SaaS application hosted and served from cloud servers, you have control and can minimize software piracy concerns. You can limit user access to specific functionalities and they won't have access to the underlying technology used. Additionally, SaaS applications are typically not platform-oriented, so there's no need to install software on devices. Users can simply log in and access the application virtually on any supported device.
The growth of SaaS products is projected to be exponential, as evidenced by the user bases of popular platforms like Buffer, Evernote, and Airbnb. These services are all delivered through a cloud-based SaaS model.
A survey predicts that by 2021, 73% of organizations will primarily or exclusively rely on SaaS solutions.
