At Zama.co.ke, we are professional marketplace SaaS platform developers helping businesses in Kenya and across Africa build powerful, scalable, and automated digital marketplaces.
We design and develop multi-vendor SaaS marketplaces that connect buyers, sellers, and service providers through secure, cloud-based platforms — enabling businesses to earn recurring revenue, onboard clients easily, and manage operations from anywhere.
Whether you want to launch an eCommerce marketplace, service marketplace, B2B trade hub, or rental platform, Zama has the expertise to turn your vision into a functional, profitable SaaS product.
💡 What Is a Marketplace SaaS Platform?
A Marketplace SaaS platform is a subscription-based software that allows multiple vendors or service providers to sell their products or services on one centralized system — hosted in the cloud and accessible through the web.
Instead of managing multiple websites or apps, businesses can operate everything — from onboarding vendors to processing payments — through a single SaaS dashboard.
Examples include:
E-commerce marketplaces (like Amazon or Jumia)
Freelance platforms (like Upwork or Saseni)
Property or car rental systems
Food delivery or logistics platforms
Service booking marketplaces (beauty, cleaning, repair)
🚀 Why Build Your Marketplace as a SaaS Platform
✅ Recurring Income: Generate revenue from vendor subscriptions and commissions.
✅ Scalability: Host multiple vendors and thousands of users securely on the cloud.
✅ Automation: Handle payments, orders, and analytics automatically.
✅ White-Label Options: Offer the platform to resellers under their brand.
✅ Lower Maintenance Costs: Updates and new features are deployed centrally for all clients.
At Zama.co.ke, we specialize in creating SaaS marketplaces with modular architecture, multi-tenant capability, and modern UI — ensuring seamless scalability and high performance.
