You’re building a SaaS product. Here’s how we ship it.

Velocity, without the agency overhead.

Most software product development companies move at the speed of their process — status decks, account managers, three meetings before a decision. We move at the speed of the build. You talk directly to the founder-engineer, decisions get made in the same conversation, and code ships in days, not quarters. That’s how a SaaS development company should feel when you’re racing to a launch.

We treat your build as a partnership, not a ticket queue. We’ll push back on scope that doesn’t serve the product, surface the technical trade-offs founders actually need to weigh, and co-think the architecture with you instead of handing you a quote and disappearing. The result is a web application development partner who thinks like a co-founder — because building and operating products is what we do every day.

Your code is reviewed by the person who runs WorkflowUnity. Not subcontracted.

When you hire a SaaS application development company, you’re usually buying a layer of project managers sitting between you and whoever actually writes the code. Here, there is no layer. The founder scopes the work, designs the architecture, writes and reviews the code, and ships it. One accountable person, start to finish.

We build and operate our own production platform — the same kind of system we ship for clients. We don’t recommend stacks we haven’t shipped ourselves. Every pattern we’d put in your product is one we already run under load, with real users and real uptime on the line.

That’s the difference between a vendor and a partner: a vendor delivers what the ticket says; a partner tells you when the ticket is wrong. You get the second kind.

The Stack

Modern stack. Production-tested.

  • Node.js 22
  • React 19
  • tRPC 11
  • Vite
  • AWS App Runner
  • DynamoDB
  • Cognito
  • SES
  • CloudFront
  • Stripe

Every component on this stack runs in our own production today — not a tutorial-based recommendation.

Why Custom, Why Now

Off-the-shelf software is built for the average customer.
Your business is not the average customer.

Companies pour record sums into software every year — and waste a staggering share of it on tools that don’t fit, don’t get used, and can’t adapt. The numbers tell the story.

53%
of SaaS licenses sit unused
Less than half of company SaaS apps are used regularly — the rest is paid for and idle. You’re renting software nobody opens.

projected world IT spend, 2026
Worldwide IT spending is forecast to top $6.31 trillion in 2026. A vast amount of it funds off-the-shelf tools that only partially fit the businesses paying for them.

56%
less value than predicted
Across 5,400+ projects, large IT builds delivered 56% less value than predicted and ran 45% over budget — the cost of building without an architecture-first discipline.

SaaS apps at the average company
The typical company now runs hundreds of disconnected subscriptions. Nothing syncs, nothing agrees, and the bill compounds every year you grow.

Custom-built, owned by you, designed around how your team actually works — pays back in months, not years.

What We Build

From MVP to enterprise software development.

The product shapes you’re most likely shipping — built to fit, not forced into a template.

Multi-Tenant SaaS Platforms

Multi-org data isolation, role-based access, and tenant-specific configuration — the hard parts, done right from the first commit.

Customer-Facing Web Applications

Marketing site to authenticated product, with full Stripe billing wired in — one continuous experience, not three bolted-together tools.

Internal Admin Dashboards

Operations teams need software that fits how they actually work — not a generic admin panel they have to fight every day.

Integration Platforms

Stripe, HubSpot, QuickBooks, Salesforce, and custom APIs — unified so your systems finally tell the same story.

30–60 Day Timeline

From kickoff to production in weeks.

A typical MVP path. Yours is scoped on the discovery call — but this is the velocity to expect.

1
Week 1
Architecture + Auth
System design approved, Cognito identity and account scaffolding in place.
2
Weeks 2–3
Core Data Models + API
The product’s backbone — data layer and typed API — built and tested.
3
Weeks 4–6
UI + Integrations
The interface your users touch, plus Stripe billing and third-party hooks.
4
Weeks 7–8
Testing + Production Deploy
Hardening, QA, and a real production launch on scalable AWS infrastructure.

No commitment until the scope is locked.
