Scalable SaaS Platform Development for Contigen

Contigen approached Exquisite Software with an ambitious goal: to bring a brand-new SaaS product to market within a tight timeline, while ensuring a rock-solid foundation for scalability and recurring revenue growth. As a company focused on operational efficiency for service businesses, Contigen needed more than just a working MVP — they needed a partner who could translate a vision into a fully operational platform with built-in monetization, analytics, and long-term maintainability.

We collaborated closely with Contigen’s founding team to shape the product strategy, architect the backend infrastructure, design a refined user experience, and develop a custom platform that could evolve with user needs. In just under 16 weeks, we launched the first version of the product — stable, scalable, and ready to grow. Within six months of launch, Contigen was generating over $36,000 in monthly recurring revenue, retained 92% of their initial customer base, and required no re-platforming or emergency fixes post-launch.

By combining startup agility with enterprise-grade engineering, we enabled Contigen to establish product-market fit, scale operations, and build user trust early — setting them on a clear path to long-term success.

Contigen had a strong business thesis but no internal engineering team. They needed a full-cycle product partner who could take ownership of the technical execution and move fast — without sacrificing code quality, scalability, or UX.

The biggest technical challenge was building a multi-tenant SaaS platform with user-specific data isolation, permissions, and integrations — all under an aggressive timeline.

From concept to traction — a development strategy aligned with measurable business outcomes.

The MVP included key features like user onboarding, billing integration, and internal dashboards. This lean yet powerful build gave Contigen the traction needed to secure early users and investor interest—without delays or technical debt.

We started with deep product workshops to define user personas, core workflows, and a lean MVP scope. From there, we prioritized the highest ROI features and translated them into actionable development sprints.

We designed a modular architecture using a microservices-friendly backend, built with Node.js and MySQL. The front-end was developed using a modern React stack, fully responsive and optimized for performance.

We crafted a clean and intuitive UI focused on user adoption, onboarding speed, and clarity of data. Every screen was wireframed, validated, and built to reduce friction.

Our DevOps team deployed the system with auto-scaling infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and automated test coverage. We supported launch-readiness with staging environments, production hardening, and Stripe billing integrations.

We delivered a fully functional MVP in under 16 weeks, from initial discovery through deployment. Our agile process allowed rapid iteration, keeping the team aligned and the product vision intact.
