What We Offer
We don’t do discovery calls that lead to six-month project timelines and five-figure retainers before a single line of code is written. Here’s what we actually deliver:- Full-Stack SaaS MVP in 8 Weeks: From architecture decisions to deployed product. We build your authentication, multi-tenant data model, billing integration (Stripe), and core feature set — production-ready on a cloud server with CI/CD pipelines from day one.
- AI-Powered Feature Integration: Whether you need an intelligent document processor, a GPT-based assistant embedded into your product, or automated data pipelines, we integrate OpenAI, Claude, and custom ML models directly into your SaaS backend.
- WhatsApp Business Automation: Our flagship product Messenjo (messenjo.io) is a live, production WhatsApp automation platform built on the Meta Cloud API. If your Irish business — logistics, healthcare, fintech, hospitality — needs WhatsApp as a customer communication or operations channel, we’ve already solved the hard problems.
- Ongoing Development & Technical Co-Founder Support: Post-launch, we stay involved. Sprint-based development, architecture reviews, scaling decisions — Irish founders get a senior technical partner, not a ticket queue.
Why Choose Zargham Labs
There are genuine reasons to work with us over a Dublin agency or a generic offshore dev shop — and none of them are vague.- US-Registered, Transparent Pricing: Zargham Labs LLC is registered in the United States. You get a proper contract, USD or EUR invoicing, and structured deliverables — with 40–60% lower costs than what a comparable Irish or UK agency would charge for identical work.
- Zargham Is on Your Project Directly: No account manager, no mystery junior developer in the background. Zargham personally architects, codes, and delivers every project. Irish clients communicate directly with the person writing the code.
- Messenjo Is Proof, Not a Portfolio PDF: Most agencies show you screenshots. We built and launched Messenjo — a multi-tenant WhatsApp SaaS platform — ourselves. That means our FastAPI backend, Next.js frontend, queue architecture, and deployment pipelines are battle-tested on a live product, not just described in a proposal.
- 8-Week MVP Commitment: Irish startups applying to Enterprise Ireland’s HPSU programme or raising pre-seed rounds need a working product on a timeline. We’ve structured our entire process around delivering a functional, deployable SaaS MVP in eight weeks — not eight months.
Our Tech Stack
Every technology choice has a reason specific to building scalable SaaS products — not just a list of buzzwords.- Python FastAPI: High-performance async API backend. Ideal for SaaS platforms that need to handle concurrent requests efficiently — whether that’s an Irish HR tech platform processing payroll queries or a logistics tool managing real-time shipment data.
- Next.js 14: React-based frontend framework with server-side rendering. Gives your SaaS product fast load times, SEO-friendly public pages, and a modern UI — important if your Irish product needs both a marketing site and a dashboard in one codebase.
- PostgreSQL + PgBouncer: Reliable, ACID-compliant relational database with connection pooling. Multi-tenant SaaS architectures on PostgreSQL are production-proven and cost-effective on Irish or EU-based cloud infrastructure (AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin is a natural fit).
- Celery + Redis: Asynchronous task queues for background jobs — email sending, report generation, scheduled data syncs. Critical for any SaaS product that can’t block the user interface on heavy operations.
- Docker + Traefik: Containerised deployment with automated SSL and reverse proxy. Your product ships in containers — portable, consistent, and deployable to any cloud provider including those with EU data residency requirements relevant to Irish GDPR compliance.
- n8n: Workflow automation for complex integrations. If your SaaS needs to connect to Irish-specific tools — Revenue Online Service APIs, accounting platforms like Surf Accounts or Relate, or sector-specific databases — n8n handles the integration layer cleanly.
Our Process
Eight weeks, four phases. Each one has a defined output so you always know where you stand.- Week 1–2 — Discovery & Architecture: We map your core user workflows, define the data model, agree on the feature scope for MVP, and produce a technical architecture document. For Irish clients, this includes reviewing any GDPR or sector-specific compliance requirements (e.g., Central Bank of Ireland guidelines for fintech) that affect database design or data residency choices.
- Week 3–4 — Core Development: Authentication (multi-tenant with role-based access), core SaaS features, database schema, and API endpoints. You’ll have a staging environment running by the end of week four — not wireframes, actual working software your team can test.
- Week 5–6 — Integrations & Testing: Stripe billing, third-party API connections, background job queues, automated testing, and performance benchmarking. If your product integrates with Irish payment processors, CRM tools, or sector-specific data sources, this is where that work happens.
- Week 7–8 — Deployment & Handover: Production deployment to your chosen cloud infrastructure (AWS Dublin region is standard for Irish clients requiring EU data residency), CI/CD pipeline setup, monitoring configuration, documentation, and a full technical handover. You own everything — codebase, infrastructure, documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work with Irish startups that have Enterprise Ireland or SFI funding requirements?Yes. We produce proper technical documentation, architecture decision records, and can participate in grant application technical reviews. Our deliverables — codebase, deployment infrastructure, written documentation — meet the kind of evidence standards Enterprise Ireland typically expects when assessing technical progress milestones. How do you handle GDPR compliance for Irish SaaS products?
GDPR compliance sits at the architecture level, not as an afterthought. We design your data model with data minimisation in mind, deploy to EU-based infrastructure (AWS eu-west-1 in Dublin by default), implement proper data retention and deletion mechanisms, and use our Traefik and Docker setup to ensure encrypted data in transit. We’re not a law firm — you’ll still need a DPO or legal review — but the technical implementation is built correctly from the start. What does it cost to build a SaaS MVP with Zargham Labs?
Our 8-week MVP engagements typically range from $8,000 to $18,000 USD depending on feature complexity, number of third-party integrations, and AI components. That’s 40–60% less than a comparable Dublin agency engagement for the same scope. We provide a fixed-price proposal after the discovery call — no hourly rate surprises.
