How to Know Which Type of Source Code Sells Best

In the past year, it is very noticeable that a huge number of software developers and software development companies have started reusing their source code and monetizing it through sales on source code marketplaces.

The industry is rapidly moving towards relying on ready-to-use source code rather than developing from scratch every time there is a new upcoming project.

Which is why PieceX, the first AI powered marketplace for buying and selling software source code, is ready to help sellers realize how to find out the best types of source code projects to sell in order to generate the highest amount of revenue possible.

Conduct Market Research

Naturally, the most common way to find out the best type of product to sell is to conduct thorough market research. This mostly depends on industry, programming language, category, and type of software product.

There is a very wide range of possibilities when imagining what kind of software source code project to sell, this makes it very difficult to determine where to start.

Market research can help you indicate the best type of software product to sell in each specific market/industry, however, it is difficult to find a clear indication on what kind of source is currently most efficient to sell on a general basis.

Which is why it is important to go across the needs of the software community in general.

Navigate Software Developer Communities

To find out the needs of a niche, it is important to be part of it. That’s why to become a seller of software source code, it is important to put yourself in the buyers’ shoes.

There are many communities to help you find out what most buyers are looking for, but it is essential to also see what kind of software source code they request to be developed, even as a personal project.

PieceX has created a window for companies to request specific source code projects within its wide 66,000+ community and most seller companies make use of that window to understand the needs of the market, rather than waste precious time trying to find solutions themselves.

This way, sellers won’t have to worry too much about what kind of software source code project to sell onto the marketplace but spend most of their time developing and listing what is currently on high-demand in order to increase their profit margin.

Conclusion

There is no point in reinventing the wheel, most technical projects have already been made, and there are established platforms such as the PieceX Marketplace that are ideal for selling their software source code for thousands of buyers all over the globe.

PieceX AI trends and software community are good places to start if you are unsure which type of software source code sells best in today’s market.

The Most Crucial Things To Do Before Starting Your Software Dev Project

The Most Crucial Things To Do Before Starting Your Software Dev Project

Whether it’s to upgrade its current internal software system or to build its very own software solution, every software company needs to consider multiple variables before it dives deep into the software development.

This vastly includes Enterprise Resource Planning among other things that a software company needs to do first. In this PieceX quick guide, we will go through the main things needed for a software company to delve into its very own software project.

Enterprise Resource Planning

You may think that a software company is constantly prepared to hop in a software project at a moment’s notice, however that is widely mistaken. Despite the fact that a software company is focused mainly on developing software, it is still a business. 

The business side is equally as important (if not more) than the tech side of the company, and that’s why before any project, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), is essential.

Enterprise Resource Planning systems are vastly popular, however, It’s not having a good system that matters as much as how to use it. It is important for a software company to not only determine the budget for the project but also the categorizations, human resource, financial distribution, and time. 

Hence, creating an Enterprise Resource Planning section for the project alone (aside from the software company as a whole) is one of the main steps any software company should take before beginning their software project.

Team Project Management

It is important for the software company to delegate the project to a specified team, and building a team is a huge step. Rather than creating ready teams and delegating multiple projects to them, it has proven to be much more successful if a single team takes the lead on a single project.

This will require building a small hierarchy including a project manager responsible for the team, product manager responsible for the product, core software developers, and ofcourse scrum masters.

Once the team structure is well built, you will have a good standing before rushing into the project.

Requirements Re-check

One of the most common issues that software companies face is that the requirements for the project (whether internal or external) can sometimes be a little unclear.

Before your tech team jumps in, re-checking the requirements of the project and asking as many questions as possible could save tons of time later when the project is delivered as it won’t need to be redone.

Aside from that, Enterprise Resource Planning can help you allocate the right resources for each requirement in order to steadily move forward with the project.

Software Component Attainment

The final step in the process is to get the necessary components to shorten the time and resources used for your software projects. This includes purchasing ready to use Source Code or getting the necessary support for the Open Source Code that you are using for your project.

More than 55,000+ users in different software companies are currently frequenting the PieceX Marketplace in order to get the necessary components and modules for their software projects and cut the time and cost of their software development by 80%.

Conclusion

You have all your Enterprise Resource Planning ready, your team is on standby, and your software components are in place, now is the time to do what you do best! Code!
