9 Product Challenges for New SaaS Companies

We are connoisseurs of our own SaaS development dog food. -- we practice the methods we prescribe here on our blog for our own SaaS product and for those we build for others. We believe in these methods after seeing them work across a variety of markets & industries. We recently had an interaction with a startup, and we felt obligated to share a list of product challenges for new SaaS companies. As habitual problem solvers, we'll also prescribe what to do about them.

Overcoming Challenges in SaaS Sales Cycles

As a company that works on several SaaS offerings, we're well aware of the immense pressures on SaaS providers. One of the most pressing areas is sales, the lifeblood of the product. Assuming the idea is good, the product works, and marketing has built a pipeline of leads, then it's up to the sales team to bring home the deals. But sometimes it takes time...so let's take a look at SaaS sales cycles and look for ways to overcome obstacles to growth and success.

How to Prevent and Manage Scope Creep

We've been working on some projects recently where the goal posts...moved. It's a common pattern in software development, especially with fast-paced businesses. In the old days of waterfall development, perhaps it was harder to do, but systems often arrived late, out of date, and brittle. With an agile approach, changes are faster and easier to include, which can create problems. Since it's a continuous challenge in software development -- especially in SaaS -- we explain how to prevent and manage scope creep.

The Case for Private SaaS

As security challenges mount for enterprise customers, we see an emergence of private SaaS solutions. Enterprises and large organizations who need major customizations to the system, stringent security, or definitive control over their environment use private SaaS (dedicated SaaS). Private SaaS differs from multi-tenant SaaS model. Rather than a single instance of software being shared by customers, each customer has their own environment.

Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning in SaaS

AI is permeating everyday life at a rapid clip, especially with the emergence of ChatGPT. But we've only scratched the surface. SaaS applications will see strong growth in AI integrations, including machine learning. The combination of AI/ML in SaaS is powerful, and it will dramatically impact our productivity and capabilities for years to come.

The Rise of Mobile-First SaaS

In SaaS, it's apparent that most products are developed for desktop first. Given the nature of our hybrid work environment today, many tech experts predict that mobile apps will become increasingly dominant. SaaS businesses that fail to offer mobile-friendly solutions risk losing customers and falling behind their competitors. We see a significant growth opportunity for mobile-first SaaS products.
