A SaaS MVP is the smallest version of a subscription software product that proves customers will use and pay for it. For Tampere clients we usually begin with billing (plans, trials and invoices) and analytics, then add launch & iterate and discovery sprint. Pricing is set as per your requirements and budget.

An IoT platform connects devices, collects their data and lets people monitor and control them. For Tampere clients we usually begin with ota updates (staged firmware rollouts) and rules engine, then add mobile app and device provisioning. Typical first release: 12–20 weeks.

An NFT or Web3 marketplace lets users mint, buy, sell and trade digital assets on-chain. For Tampere clients we usually begin with minting (lazy minting and collections) and trading, then add royalties and fiat on-ramp. Typical first release: 10–16 weeks.
