10 Ways For App Dev Agencies to be More Profitable
Is your business building apps for other companies?
Then Onymos Features-as-a-Service is the solution you’ve been looking for.
Onymos makes a suite of full-stack, off-the-shelf software components, the essential foundation for any app.
So the question is — why have your valuable software engineers creating commoditized, functional components, when they can buy off-the-shelf?
And what’s the impact to the agency business?
Ten Ways Onymos Components Make App Dev Agencies More Profitable
1. PROJECTS CAN BE 72% (or more) PROFITABLE
We crunched the numbers. We confirmed with our customers. And while every project is different, buying Onymos app features off-the-shelf rather than committing engineering time to creating the basics results in 72% more profit per project. Don’t forget that profitability is a competitive advantage.
2. PRODUCTS vs SERVICES
Offering things as products rather than customized services shortens sales and adoption times. Customize and then offer Onymos Features as products.
3. DON’T PAY US ‘TIL YOU GET PAID
Onymos developed a pricing model specific for App Dev Agencies. Download and use the Starter bundle, no charge. Build your customer’s app. Deliver it. Get paid for it. Launch it. And when (if?) the App hits >100 devices, pay Onymos.
4. BUILD THE HERO, BUY THE ZERO
In every project, there is marquee functionality. These are the hero capabilities which make the app special, unique, differentiated.
And then there’s the zero functionality. These are the capabilities required, but will only be noticed if they are wrong or poorly implemented.
Build the hero, buy the zero (from Onymos).
5. SHORTER PROJECT TIMELINES
If the team doesn’t need to develop the basic components, they can get on to innovating and creating higher-order customer value. Plus, in a competitive situation, a shorter project timeline is always a competitive advantage versus your competition.
6. FRESH REFERENCE LIBRARY
Think of Onymos Features as a perpetually fresh reference library. Starting a new project? Download the latest and greatest version of the Onymos Feature you need. Always current. Always documented.
7. PLUGINS VS COMPONENTS
Plug-ins and code snippets litter dev sites. Certainly they have their place in helping developers resolve specific issues. But if you need to implement a payment solution, a plug-in for Stripe just points you in the right direction, there’s still work to be done. Why not drop in a full Payment feature and move on?
8. MITIGATE MAINTENANCE
Apps require constant attention. The HW, OS, and APIs are always changing and updating. Minimize the amount of time your engineers spend maintaining and updating past projects/products by dropping in the updated versions of Onymos Features instead.
9. GIVING BACK
Sometimes the customer wants the project back so their team can maintain going forward. But handing an engineering team thousands of lines of code is something neither side wants. Minimize the handover complexity with Onymos Features. Functions become “standardized components” and are simple to maintain for the receiving team.
10. NO LOW CODE
Well, it’s not that Onymos is against low-code platforms, it’s more that we are Pro-Developer. Software engineers are a company’s most valuable resources. Onymos Features free them from spending time and effort building commodity functions. Focus your best and brightest on what they do best, creating innovative and differentiated apps.
