Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) development is the creation of cloud-based applications for B2B or B2C users. Common B2B SaaS applications you may be familiar with include Salesforce, Dropbox, and Slack. Popular B2C SaaS applications include Uber, Lyft, and Doordash.

The right way to develop a SaaS product depends on the type of application you want to create, as well as the resources -- including time, money, and technical skill sets -- that are available to you. For example, compare the difference between creating a simple SaaS solution that offers a few features or performs a few functions and building a “unicorn” application with a global reach. Even though both processes might follow similar steps -- such as user analysis, competitive research, project planning, and proof of concept (POC) or minimum viable product (MVP) development -- the time and resources required for individual stages may be very different. No matter what the scope or scale of your project is, a SaaS software development company like Impekable can help you build and launch your new app, easily and efficiently.

Ultimately, the answer is, “it depends.” The best technologies for you depend on your app’s desired functionality, your existing tech stack, any necessary API integrations, and the internal or external skill sets you have access to for maintaining your SaaS product. Not only can Impekable’s SaaS software developers help you to answer these and other questions, but we can also identify opportunities to leverage existing technologies within your new build. After all, there’s no point in reinventing the wheel. Our team can save you time and money by integrating existing CRMs, e-commerce shopping carts, and other solutions into new builds that require these functionalities.

Companies hiring out SaaS development services have several options when choosing their partners: - Onshore developers, who are typically located in the US - Nearshore developers, who are located in countries close to the US that have substantial overlap in local time zones - Offshore developers, who may be located anywhere outside of the US, but are typically in areas where there is a significant difference in local time zones All three approaches have their own merits, but at Impekable, we prefer to use a hybrid model that involves onshore senior leadership and a combination of nearshore and offshore developers. We have found that this approach delivers the most value -- our clients enjoy the comfort of a high-level local experience as well as the savings associated with nearshore and offshore talent.
