Imagine being able to create a new, recurring revenue stream from your existing products; being able to make your software applications available with a subscription without payment abuse or bad debts; being able to market to customer types you could not attract before. And imagine being able to do all of this with minimal development resource and no impact on your manufacturing or sales operations.
The Business Software Centre specialises in:-
- SaaS conversion
- SaaS e-commerce
- SaaS ecosystem development
The Business Software Centre has developed a unique technology and an e-commerce service to enable the distribution of application software on a subscription basis. The service makes it possible for potential customers to use your applications with a subscription. The technology ensures that they will only be able to use them for as long as they continue to pay.
Use our technology to convert your application into a service
Using our proprietary technology - TBSC Rental Bridge™, or myHostedApplications, we create a protected version of your application ready to be rented through the Rentsoft™ service.
Software applications can be installed locally or hosted in the cloud, but either way, all software can be disabled if the customer ceases payment.
Permission to use the application is only granted if a subscription is in place. The technology will alert the user of any breach in payment and can provide a grace period but will ultimately disable usage if a subsequent payment is not made.
Use our e-commerce service to sell your software
We host the subscription versions of your products and make them available on the virtual shelves of the Rentsoft™ service. We process the sales, collect the subscription payments, download or provision the software and ensure that the end user complies with your EULA and subscription terms. In return, we notify you of your transactions, provide financial reports and issue your royalties.
Availability in Rentsoft™ Marketplace is included with all services. We can also create and host a dedicated service in your name as well as make your subscription applications available in other third-party Rentsoft™ services. Or you may prefer us to create a completely bespoke service utlising your own e-commerce infrastructure; the choice is yours.
Whichever service you choose, you remain in control of your product marketing pre-sale and can establish a relationship with your subscription customers post-sale.
Use our expertise to create a SaaS Ecosystem
We have relationships with a number of significant routes to market organisations and other independent software vendors. This creates an opportunity for you to increase your market penetration and target specific vertical markets with reciprocal commercial terms and a co-branded marketing proposition.
You may also wish to consider including your own reseller channel in the SaaS opportunity. You choose where your subscription applications are made available and in each case, the terms under which they are subscribed to. By partnering with our channel partners and your own reseller channels, you will be creating a multi-channel sales environment, or SaaS ecosystem.
