Succeed: What Does a SaaS Development Company Do?

Before you start your search to hire SaaS developers, you need to know exactly what they do and what to expect. Let’s start by understanding your company. We look at what you do, what you need, and what your potential is.

We don’t limit ourselves or our clients, and our unique approach allows us to appreciate the nuances involved with creating a SaaS product. In fact, we thrive in the face of a challenge, and as a SaaS company, we overcome the possibilities, not the limitations.

Our skilled team will guide you through your ideas, work with you to uncover your goals and needs, and adapt your current business model to create a successful and profitable SaaS product that does exactly what you need it to.

Why SaaS? Why Now?

You might be asking yourself Why now? Why do you need a SaaS product in your business? Let us help.

Growth from any medium-sized business becomes increasingly challenging. Each new client requires more human input, which means hiring more people to handle it. But what if you can’t realistically hire more staff? What happens now?

Because your systems rely on great people, but great people don’t scale like platforms do. This is where SaaS comes into the picture. If you’re finding it increasingly difficult to scale the business past its current position, it’s time to uncover untapped potential.

In today’s fast-moving markets, if you’re not innovating, you’re left behind. It’s that simple. Companies that fail to digitize their core knowledge are at risk of being outpaced by those who are, and if you don’t want your more agile competitors leaving you behind, you need to be the leader.

Second place in business doesn’t win anything, and at Make IT Simple, we indeed make it simple for you to position yourself as not only number one in your sector, but also the person setting the pace for the entire race.

SaaS products unlock productivity and efficiency for businesses of all sizes and deliver an effective way to scale. Essentially, SaaS products are tools in your survival kit.

Who For? Built By Founders for Founders

We don’t approach SaaS development like other dev companies. Why? Firstly, as mentioned, our team has founded, built, scaled, and sold Saas platforms of our own. We invested, we rose to the challenges, and put ourselves on both sides of the fence.

We have been both SaaS Developers and clients simultaneously, and we believe this is what sets us apart. We know what it takes, and we know what you need from us as a company.

Our founders’ first approach means we ask the questions others might miss. What are your ultimate goals - exit or ongoing growth? What are the margins? Who owns the IP? What’s the go-to market plan?

As a company, we balance risk with reward, and when we see a good idea, we commit to delivering a commercially viable product from day one. Need more proof? We have also partnered with clients to co-invest in platforms that have gone on to achieve successful exits or have generated strong recurring revenue.

We are so confident in what we do that we literally put our money where our mouth is and aren’t afraid to invest in something we know will succeed. If you need more convincing, you can check out our previous work or even read our 5-star reviews on Clutch.

What We Build

There is nothing cookie-cutter about what we do. We tailor everything we create to your industry, your target audience, and your goals. We leave no stone unturned in our quest for perfection and a viable product that does exactly what you need it to.

When you hire SaaS developers at Make IT Simple, you can expect a wealth of knowledge and skills to be brought to the table, along with experience in building different types of platforms and tools. Our past projects have included SaaS platforms that streamline client onboarding, automate internal workflows, deliver smart analytics, and more.

Some of our leaders have even transformed internal tools into new revenue-generating products, while others have completely disrupted traditional service models entirely. We don’t believe in bloated features or generic solutions. We believe in our SaaS software developers’ ability to understand each client and deliver products that solve real problems, are functional, and drive results.

What Makes Us Different?

We’re not here to tick boxes and neither should you. We’re here to fuel your rocket and enable you to unlock potential and reach for the stars. Cheesy, sure, but we don’t want you to think we approach building SaaS products like another generic aspect of the business. We ask why.

Our commitment to you means we take the time to fully understand you and your commercial goals to deliver SaaS products that not only meet your needs but also exceed your expectations. Our SaaS developers are here to build you an asset, not just another tool.

In addition, we offer flexible partnerships built around your company and your needs. These can include traditional build-and-launch projects, ongoing support and maintenance, or equity and revenue share models where we invest alongside you.

If you want to use your hard-won knowledge to build a SaaS product that allows you to create recurring revenue, we’re here to help you realise that dream and deliver a robust product that offers your company real value.

Choose us as your CTO, sounding board, and growth partner. Whether you need our SaaS developers to build a product that streamlines your business or support enterprise leaders, we can help you create the roadmap and execute it to the final destination and beyond.

Our Processes

Our processes aren’t a one-size-fits-all approach. We’re not here to be standard; we’re here to break the mould for our clients. We lean on our decades of experience to fine-tune our processes for optimal results every time.

Let’s start at the very beginning. Every SaaS project begins with discovery. We will dig deep into your business goals and opportunities. From here, we move it to prototyping - quickly developing clickable versions of your product. This allows you to validate ideas before a single line of code is written.

Once we have the model perfected, we begin full development using scalable, secure technologies. Thanks to our transparent, milestone-driven approach, we are here to keep you updated throughout each step of the process. Plus, we don’t bid you goodbye upon successfully completing your SaaS product; we stick around to help you go by offering personal monitoring, feature interaction, and strategic inputs as required.

API Testing

Comprehensive testing of all integrations and APIs

Scalability Roadmaps

Future-proof architecture designed for growth

UX-led Development

User experience at the heart of every decision

Our builds are done in weekly sprints, and you can always have access to the latest version of your product whenever you need it. As a company, we believe in continuous improvement and are here to assist you in keeping you growing and achieving your goals.

Once your SaaS product is live, we can continue to work with you to evolve based on real-world data, customer feedback, and commercial performance. Our skilled SaaS software developers can work with you on feature enhancements and even investor presentations.

Client Success

One of our greatest successes as a company is the creation of the proprietary software for Octopaye. They faced the challenge of streamlining internal payroll administration and PAYE bureau requirements. The task consumed copious amounts of time and resources, with 1,000 timesheets, taking staff 45 minutes to complete.

Our solution was a task driven orientated software that is capable of processing up to 15,000 timesheets in under 1 minute. Today, Octopaye is a recognised HMRC-approved system thanks to its innovation, compliance, and impact on the temporary recruitment agency.

Our success is not due to off-the-shelf wins. Our wins are the culmination of years of experience, skill building, nurturing deep relationships, strategic thinking, and relentless execution. Without any of these, massive wins aren’t possible. And we don’t want to be ordinary when we know we can deliver extraordinary results each and every time.

Who Do We Work With?

At Make IT Simple, we’re not afraid of a challenge. In fact, we love getting stuck into something that requires us to push our limits. Someone said it can’t be done? We’re the people you need!

Our SaaS developers work with founders of successful businesses who are struggling to move forward and scale their company to new heights. We also work with businesses looking for solutions to enhance internal processes and operations, and with founders who are new to the game too.

We don’t need you to know what we know; we have those bases covered. We simply need you to have a clear idea of what you want or need and be willing to work with us to turn your insight into a product, and then that product into a business.

Examples of sectors our custom SaaS software can benefit include:

  • Recruitment agencies managing high volume data i.e. timesheets or compliance
  • Franchise businesses needing a centralised control across multiple locations
  • Professional services requiring automated billing and proposal processes
  • Logistics and supply chain firms who need to track dynamic assets
  • Membership based businesses who need solutions to onboard and boost retention
