We do not only build SaaS for clients. We own one, ship updates to it, support its customers and pay its cloud bill.
We designed, built and still run Orcatec, a field service management platform used by home services companies to sell, schedule, dispatch, invoice and get paid, in the office and in the field.
Read the case study →From a new product to a legacy tool that needs to become a subscription service, we cover the full build.
Discovery, design and development of a new subscription product, from first release to a stable platform.
Data isolation between customers, per-tenant settings and a structure that scales from ten accounts to thousands.
Plans, trials, seats, usage limits, invoices and payment processing through Stripe or a similar provider.
Owners, admins, staff and customers each see only what they should, with an audit trail of key actions.
Connections to accounting, CRM, payments and calendars, plus a public API so your customers can connect their tools.
iOS and Android apps that share the same backend, accounts and permissions as the web product.
We define the customer, the core workflow, pricing logic and the first set of integrations.
Tenancy model, data structure, security and hosting plan, chosen for your expected growth, not for the largest case.
Core workflow, sign-up, billing and an admin panel, released to your first customers.
New features, integrations, monitoring and performance work, released every few weeks.
These parts are easy to skip in a first version and expensive to add later. Running our own platform taught us to plan for them early.
Sign-up, a short setup flow and sample data, so new accounts reach the first useful result without a sales call.
Your support team can find an account, see its plan and usage, and fix common problems without asking a developer.
Error tracking, uptime checks and performance metrics, so you hear about problems before your customers report them.
Automated tests, staging environments and feature flags, so you can ship updates often without breaking live accounts.
Tell us about your customers and the problem you solve. We will reply within one business day with questions and a rough estimate.
SaaS development cost depends on the number of user roles, how complex billing is, which integrations you need, whether you need mobile apps and your security requirements. We offer two ways to work:
from $32,000
A defined first version with a fixed price and timeline, agreed after discovery.
$50–70 per hour
A monthly team that builds and runs the product as it grows.
Plan for running costs too: hosting, third-party services, monitoring and support. We include them in the estimate.
Running a SaaS teaches things a client project does not: how support tickets pile up after a release, what customers expect from billing, and why onboarding matters as much as features. We bring those lessons to your product.
We are based in San Diego County, work in Pacific time and can meet in person for planning sessions. You own the code, the cloud accounts and the customer data.
