TechWave: SaaS Analytics Platform

The challenge

TechWave’s founders had validated demand for a niche B2B analytics tool, but existing platforms were designed for broader markets. They offered plenty of features, yet did not reflect how TechWave’s target customers actually used their data.

The founders needed a custom analytics dashboard built around their industry’s specific workflows. With limited runway, they also needed to launch quickly enough to demonstrate real usage to investors. The challenge was to deliver a useful, focused MVP without letting the scope grow into a much larger product.

What we built

We scoped the MVP around one core workflow: helping users visualise the metrics that mattered most to their business in real time. That focus guided the interface, backend and data pipeline, keeping development centred on what customers needed to do every day.

The frontend was built in React, with a Node.js backend streaming live updates through WebSockets. A PostgreSQL data pipeline supported the query patterns the dashboards needed, connecting the underlying data with clear, interactive visualisations.

Weekly demos kept the founders closely involved in prioritisation. Each review helped the team refine the product and keep the release focused on features that could help validate product-market fit.

Key features

• Industry-specific dashboards: A focused analytics experience built around the metrics and workflows relevant to TechWave’s customers.
• Real-time updates: WebSocket connections deliver live data updates to the dashboard without requiring users to refresh the page.
• Interactive visualisations: React-based interfaces make business metrics easier to explore and understand.
• Purpose-built data pipeline: PostgreSQL supports the data processing and query patterns required by the analytics dashboards.
• Focused MVP delivery: Weekly demonstrations and founder feedback keep priorities aligned with the core user workflow.

The outcome

TechWave launched with more than 500 active users and a working analytics product that delivered real-time dashboard updates. The founders could demonstrate how customers used the platform, moving their investor conversations beyond an idea or prototype.

TechWave also raised a $500K Series A, giving the business funding for its next stage of development.

What they said

“We switched developers mid-project and Devspin jumped in, understood our codebase immediately, and shipped features without missing a sprint.”
