SaaS Application Development

Software-as-a-service design and development for established businesses ready to launch a product and generate subscription revenue.

Have an idea for a product you want to market and sell to others? We work with established businesses to identify the needs of a market and build subscription software that helps customers do their job more efficiently - saving them time and money, and creating new revenue for you.

From idea to subscription revenue

Most SaaS products we build follow the same path: prove the value, launch, then keep growing with the customers.

  1. Idea

    Start with a problem you already understand deeply, in a market you know.

  2. Validate

    Often as a custom web application or internal system that proves its value before it's sold.

  3. Build the MVP

    Developers, a designer, and a product manager build the first production version.

  4. 3–6 months typical

    Launch

    Get to a production launch and start onboarding paying customers.

  5. Grow

    A SaaS product is a living thing. It keeps improving with its customers.

Why we focus on B2B

The design and development work is similar. The business behind it is not.

Consumer (B2C) apps

  • Selling to the general public is a very different ballgame
  • Success depends on mass-market marketing
  • Not the typical situation for the companies we partner with

B2B products (our focus)

  • Customers with a definable, expensive pain point
  • Helps businesses streamline operations with other businesses and departments
  • A natural extension for manufacturers and established businesses
  • Adds value for your existing customers, or opens a new market

Designing B2B SaaS products

Software-as-a-service development is the process of identifying the needs of a market and building a subscription product that helps that market do its job better. Our team works with established businesses to create products that benefit their current or future customers.

We’ve helped organizations generate new revenue streams worth millions of dollars while giving their customers a product they actually use and love. The best SaaS products solve a problem the founder already understands deeply - which is why we love working with operators who know their industry cold.

What does a SaaS product take?

Most of the systems we develop need a few developers, a designer, and a skilled product manager to lead the team, and the investment is ongoing because a SaaS product keeps growing with its customers. Every product is different, so we scope it with you on a discovery call.

From idea to revenue

Most SaaS products start life as a custom web application or even an internal business information system that proves its value before it’s ever sold. Build it on Ruby on Rails and you’ll get to market faster, with a lower total cost of ownership over the product’s life.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to build a SaaS product?
A typical initial engagement runs three to six months to reach a production launch, depending on the product’s scope. The work continues after launch, because a SaaS product keeps improving with its customers. If you have a new idea and no product yet, our 90 Day MVP takes a web or mobile concept to a live, cloud-deployed product in 90 days.
What team does it take to build a SaaS application?
Most of the SaaS products we build need a few developers, a designer, and a skilled product manager leading the team. Because the product grows with its customers, the investment is ongoing rather than a one-time build. Every product is different, so we scope it with you on a discovery call.
Can a manufacturer or established business launch its own SaaS product?
Yes, and it is often a natural extension of the business. The best SaaS products solve a problem the founder already understands deeply, and established companies know their industry’s pain points well. Many products start as a custom web application or internal system that proves its value before it is ever sold to others.
Do you build consumer apps or only B2B SaaS?
We focus on B2B. Business customers have definable, expensive pain points and buy software that streamlines how they work, which fits the established businesses we partner with. Consumer apps depend on mass-market marketing, which is a very different ballgame.
