Looking to build an App Store for your SaaS Business? I’m sure we are not speaking about a simple directory or user-generated directory.

An App Store that could be same as other IPO companies, which has

• Monetisation behind the marketplaces (Atlassian, Salesforce, Shopify)
• Workflow system behind vendor onboarding to App submission Approval
• Headless API, RBAC, Webhooks for your developers?
• Wallet System, Commission Deduction and Payout Mechanism (Simple Stripe Connect integrated already)
• A no-code tool for your Product and Partnership team to do merchandising of the app stores
• A Modular system not just simple fields but allow custom fields with every technical you want to add ( A JSON saver and Loader?) or A field with private, visible, etc conditions?
• A Vendor lovable system to showcase their apps with every media(video, Code Snippets) they can imagine?
• Maybe a Super App like App Store to onboard not just App developer, but experts, partner agencies?
• How about medium style user-generated feature to allow your vendors to self-publish articles, etc?

Nah not a sales pitch. That’s what it is with Tradly Platform.

Our Platform solutions offering greatly fit the big thinkers who want to build ecosystem behind their brand. Like Steve Jobs mentioned, “IBM was so genius that they had lot of partners who have vested interest. Partners didn’t let IBM die”. That’s he did, he built an App Store. App Store for iPhone, App Store for Mac, App Store for iPad, App Store for Watch. Yeah, I know it’s the same OS, but that’s the strategy. And Google Copied with their chrome Store. And the rest is history with All SaaS Companies.

I would rather not confuse you with too much information, you can see the demo link below or just click CONTACT in the top, Happy to discuss with you more.
