Wafi Solutions, a professional services company based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, has been leveraging the ABP Framework for over years to improve development efficiency, standardize coding practices, and optimize project delivery. With a team of 11-50 professionals, the company specializes in developing large-scale SaaS applications and enterprise solutions.
Before adopting ABP.IO, Wafi Solutions faced multiple development challenges, many of which only became apparent after delivering several large applications. As their projects grew, maintaining coding standards became increasingly difficult, particularly when multiple developers of varying experience levels collaborated. The absence of a standardized architecture led to inconsistencies, making long-term maintenance challenging. Additionally, the team struggled with a lack of a solid SaaS framework, leading to inefficiencies in managing multi-tenant applications. Setting up new projects from scratch was time-consuming and costly, frustrating both developers and clients. Keeping up with .NET versioning and technology consistency also became a major pain point.
Wafi Solutions turned to the ABP.IO to address these challenges. The modular architecture, built-in multi-tenancy support, and extensive documentation significantly streamlined development. ABP's approach to Domain-Driven Design (DDD), while initially perceived as complex, ultimately simplified coding practices and enhanced maintainability. The framework’s built-in registration, roles, permissions, and email functionalities drastically reduced development time and costs. The ability to develop reusable modules and transition toward a microservices architecture provided the flexibility needed for long-term growth. Additionally, ABP's documentation played a crucial role in onboarding new team members, allowing Wafi Solutions to standardize training and enforce best practices across the development team.
Implementing ABP.IO, resulted in significant improvements across multiple areas. The company successfully delivered at least five large SaaS applications, benefiting from ABP’s structured approach. By leveraging ABP’s seed data functionality, Wafi Solutions optimized company setup processes and enhanced data management. The framework’s modularity also allowed the team to create reusable NuGet modules, setting the foundation for future microservices-based development. ABP's impact on cost efficiency was substantial—initial project setup time and costs were significantly reduced, allowing Wafi Solutions to offer competitive pricing and improve client satisfaction. In one notable case, the company transformed a $900 Upwork contract into a $255K+ engagement, thanks to the streamlined development capabilities provided by ABP. Today, all of Wafi Solutions' .NET developers are trained in ABP, ensuring consistency in coding practices and enhancing overall project success.
