Baseplate is a code framework for rapidly building enterprise-grade, function-specific B2B SaaS solutions. The purpose is to accelerate the launch of new B2B Technology companies. By offering a standard application foundation the solution frees product teams to focus on innovation rather than re-implementation of common functions.

By utilizing a standardized backend (Next.js + PostgreSQL), frontend (React + Material UI) and hosting environment (Supabase – a standard Platform as a Service platform) – it provides the out of the box functions needed to rapidly create and deploy business focused SaaS applications. The application provides pre-built implementations of authentication, role-based access control, customer management, billing integration, configuration management, logging, and other essential services.

Baseplate offers a “head start” for B2B product teams. Instead of repeatedly redeveloping the same boilerplate code (security, user and role management, subscription billing, front-end frameworks, etc.), teams can leverage out-of-the-box modules and concentrate on distinctive features that truly differentiate their products.

Target Users

The primary users for Baseplate are development teams building business focused SaaS applications. Baseplate assumes the teams are made up of a mix of Product Managers, Full Stack Developers and Quality Assurance Automation Engineers. These teams are supported by a design group – that has experience defining screens in the Baseplate framework – and Ops Engineers who will configure development and production environments for the development teams. The goal of these narrow development teams is to accelerate time-to-market by ensuring the teams can narrowly focus on creating features that are specific to their application. The solution caters to startup-stage B2B technology companies that need a scalable, secure base on which to build new services, onboard clients, and manage their solutions in a multi-customer environment.

Baseplate Business Goals

• Speed to Market: By providing a common code framework, teams can launch new SaaS products far more quickly than if they had to develop the same functions present in all business focused SaaS applications again and again.
• Consistency and Reliability: By creating a standardized development and production environment products deliver a uniform user experience in a secure and scalable fashion.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Reducing repeated development efforts and manual integrations significantly cuts costs over time, crucial for startups operating on lean budgets.
• Scalability: The core technical environment including Supabase / AWS serverless architecture and PostgreSQL’s robust data model provide a highly scalable environment that can handle growth as client bases expand.
• Accelerated Innovation: With core functionalities standardized, companies can dedicate the vast majority of development attention to market-differentiating features.
• Developer Mobility: Encouraging a culture of shared best practices across multiple projects allows developers to move between B2B product lines—reduces friction and fosters an environment where cross-functional collaboration is baked into the product life cycle.
• Consistent, Modern Front-End: Any product developed on the framework will have a polished, professional UI that end-users will find intuitive.
• Multi-customer Architecture: Out-of-the-box support for customer isolation, role-based permissions, and enterprise specific billing.
• Deep DevOps & QA Integration: Development and production environments that are pre-built with to ensure best practice implementation of automated testing, continuous integration, and monitoring from day one.
