Setting up Email and WhatsApp marketing channels for your SaaS

Hi,

Selling SaaS and acquiring new users is becoming difficult day by day. It's all about strategy.

If you are planning to start email marketing, you will need:

  • Alternate domain that redirects to your original domain
  • Email setup (SPF, DMARK, & other DNS settings)
  • Inbox setup (gmail, outlook, or anything else)
  • Bulk email software (Mailchimp, hubspot, bravo, flightmail.app or similar)
  • Email data provider (Apollo or similar)
  • Email copies depending on your niche & offer

If you are planning to start WahtsApp marketing, you will need:

  • A business mobile number (or virtual one from Twilio)
  • A WhatsApp marketing tool that can track and send messages based on your allowed limits (Brevo, Flightmail.app, or similar)
  • Mobile number of your contact

In both cases, setup time depend on the stack you chooose.

I do not charge for consulting or helping fellow founders. DM me if you need any help with both of these setups.

Disclaimer: I own flightmail.app and provide these services.

Helping HVAC / Fan Manufacturers implement better quoting experience

Very few FAN Manufacturers offers digital experience to receive quote through their website. Most of the time, getting accurate information about what parts the client is looking for and getting a quote for the same takes weeks not days.

This is a low effort project that can create BIG impact in how you sell. A very few manufacturers already added this in 2026, and started taking advantage of it.

We at Facile Technolab, focus on helping HVAC Fan manufacturers to solve exactly this or more problems through low investment software tools.

Let's connect to have a free consulting on how this will work for you!

Built a Cruise Management SaaS platform

Some products don't get a beta period. A cruise line running bookings and scheduling on new software doesn't get to "iterate in production" the way a consumer app can. A scheduling bug isn't a minor bug, it's an operational failure.

Built this one on ASP.NET Zero with Angular for a founder in Croatia. The interesting part wasn't the stack, it was how much earlier the testing and edge-case work had to start compared to a normal MVP because there was no forgiving early-adopter user base to absorb rough edges.

Anyone else building for an industry where "ship fast, fix later" just isn't an option? How did that change your dev process?

Helping SaaS Founders Launch for 10+ years - Ask me anything

I am into product development for 20+ years now. I have been working with founders globally but so many of them are from Australia.

So far, I was able to help:

  • Helped Legal expert to build a subscription based SaaS for case database for legal analysts.
  • Helped a manufacturing industry expert founder to launch their Design and process management SaaS MVP
  • Helped a construction project management expert to launch their construction PMS.
  • Helped a medical manufacturing industry SaaS founder launched and supported till series A funding was secured
  • Helped a CNC machining industry founder launch operation management SaaS

And the story goes on.

I take care of the tech challenges while founders can focus on product design, sales, marketing, funding, etc.

If you have a niche b2b SaaS idea and want to ask about tech partnership, offshoring, outsourcing, or anything else related to launching your SaaS idea, feel free to ask me anything.

P.S. - I have 20 years experience and I have a small team since last 10 years.

How Australian LegalTech Startup Turned Idea to MVP

A LegalTech founder in Australia had a specific idea: a historical case decision search engine built as a SaaS platform for legal research. What they didn't have was months to spend building the engineering foundation themselves while also trying to get in front of customers.

Facile Technolab designed and built the platform on Microsoft stack, working directly with the founder from architecture through launch. The founder stayed focused on the business validating the market, talking to law firms, shaping the product while the platform got built underneath them.

That's the split that actually matters for early-stage founders on the Microsoft stack:

>You can't do the fundraising, the customer conversations, and the ASP.NET architecture decisions all at full quality at the same time. Something gets the leftover attention. Usually it's the engineering.

Facile Technolab exists so that's not the trade-off you have to make.

Building a fan selection + quoting tool for HVAC teams

I am building a tool for tech savvy HVAC manufacturers/reps who hate using Excel and looking for better options.

This simple tool checks fan selections against airflow, pressure, sound, and electrical constraints, then turns the result into a reviewed, revision-controlled quote.

Unlike other industries, HVAC professionals need to manually check many technical parameters before they decide which equipment to use. And it turns out that's the actual daily pain for the people doing this by hand. Not the calculations, the bookkeeping around the calculations.

Not assuming anything here, but actually building this one for a real small team dealing in HVAC. Initial scope will have Fan Selection, and Quote generation features which may eventually extend to more features.

Kicked off the project this week. UI prototype is ready. Working on finalizing selection screen that shows product options with in-depth details, charts, and visuals to help engineers make informed decisions.

If anyone here has built for a niche B2B trade audience, I would take any advice on getting more real users in the door.
