RPLCReplacement Studio
Operator-led studio for SaaS replacement

Replace the SaaS you rent.
Own what you run.

We are a studio. We audit your SaaS stack, ship proprietary software your company owns, and get paid from the real savings we generate. No seat pricing. No vendor lock-in. No dashboards you did not ask for.

The problem

You are renting tools that a small team could have built.

A 100-person company spends on average the price of a small engineering team each year across 150+ SaaS subscriptions. Half of them overlap. A quarter of them are used by fewer than five people. Many of them do one workflow your team could own outright.

Nobody has the time to audit it. Nobody has the engineering bandwidth to replace it. Procurement keeps renewing. That is the gap RPLC closes.

How it works

One engagement. Three phases. Source code in your name.

01 — Audit

Stack audit

Two weeks. We connect to your billing, SSO and procurement systems, map every seat, overlap and dead subscription, and return a savings report ranked by effort to capture.

02 — Build

Replacement build

Four to eight weeks. We pick the highest-ROI workflow in the audit and build you a focused in-house replacement. Self-hosted. Your domain. Your data. Your repository.

03 — Operate

Operate and expand

Ongoing. We monitor, patch and harden what we built — optional — or hand it over clean. Next quarter, we go after the second line of the audit.

How we get paid

If you don't save money, we didn't work.

Our fee is 50% of the first six months of verified savings — measured against the specific contracts you cancel or downgrade once the replacement is live. We agree on those line items in writing before the build begins. If the savings don't materialise, neither does the fee. No modelled savings. No theoretical ROI.

After month six, the savings are yours, in full. The code, the infrastructure and everything we built — yours, on your servers, forever.

"We paid back the engagement in 11 weeks. Then it kept paying."— Content operations lead, 40-person company
Case — BRChina

Replacing the content stack of a media operation.

The situation. A Brazilian media operation running a patchwork of design, scheduling, editing, transcription and AI-writing tools — 47 seats, paid monthly, with constant duplicated work and no ownership of the assets being produced.

What we did. Built an internal content operations platform end-to-end. Scripts, renders, captions, short-form and scheduling, consolidated into a single tool, self-hosted on the company's own infrastructure and owned outright.

The outcome. Five tools cancelled. Output per editor doubled inside the first month. The team owns the codebase and has been extending it independently since.

Same playbook, different starting points

Four sectors. How the first engagement plays out.

Every stack looks different on paper. In practice, the audit surfaces the same kind of overlap. These are the four patterns we encounter most.

01

Media & content operations

40 – 300 employees · content-led · ≥ 20 creators
Day 0
Stack is split across design, scheduling, editing, transcription and generative AI tools. Seats scale faster than output.
Week 2
Audit surfaces four overlapping subscriptions and one workflow worth rebuilding end-to-end.
Week 10
Internal content platform live. First cancellation letters go out.
Month 6
Output per editor doubled. Vendor spend on the workflow cut by more than half. Codebase owned in-house.
02

B2B SaaS & tech-enabled

100 – 800 FTE · Series B–D · Rev-ops heavy
Day 0
CRM, sales intelligence, sequencing, call recording, knowledge base and ticketing — six vendors, three departments, overlapping data.
Week 2
Audit shows two systems of record for the same pipeline and a sequencing tool priced against a number nobody reviews.
Week 8
Lean internal sales-ops layer in production, reading directly from your data warehouse.
Month 6
Two renewals dropped. One consolidated tool owned internally. Go-to-market reporting on your terms.
03

E-commerce & D2C

50 – 250 FTE · Shopify-led · multi-channel
Day 0
Separate vendors for email, SMS, reviews, support, loyalty and subscription. Each billed on contact volume, all growing with the brand.
Week 2
Audit reveals 3 vendors indexed on list size, one renewal priced against a number the team has never verified.
Week 10
Unified customer-comms layer live under your own domain — reviews, support and lifecycle in one codebase.
Month 6
Variable SaaS spend decoupled from contact growth. Customer data stays inside the company.
04

Professional services

Law · accounting · consulting · 30 – 500 FTE
Day 0
Project management, time tracking, document review, client portals, e-sign, billing — eight vendors held together by a spreadsheet.
Week 2
Audit identifies the client-portal + time + billing loop as the single heaviest workflow, priced per-seat across three vendors.
Week 12
Internal practice-management tool live. Partners, associates and clients in one place, branded, confidential, on your servers.
Month 6
Per-seat bills off the books. Confidential documents stop leaving your perimeter.

Not on this list? The playbook is the same: find the workflow that pays for itself, build the replacement, hand it over.

What we run, what we ship

Every engagement teaches us a pattern. The patterns become products.

The consultancy is how we get distribution. The products are how the work compounds. Each replacement build for a client surfaces a category we then productise — self-hosted, self-serve, on the same architecture we already operate. These are the first two.

Who this is for

You know this is for you if —

  • — You have 40 to 400 employees and a real SaaS bill.
  • — You renew contracts you are not sure you still use.
  • — You have a small technical team that is drowning in tickets.
  • — You believe software you own beats software you rent, long-term.
  • — You want one accountable operator, not a retainer agency.
Questions

What people ask before signing.

Are you an agency?

No. We are a studio. We do one thing — audit, build and hand over internal tools that replace a rented SaaS. No retainers by default, no time-and-materials, no slide-ware.

Who owns the code?

You do. Every engagement ends with a full handover: source repository transferred to your organisation, infrastructure under your accounts, deploy credentials delivered.

What if the replacement breaks?

Three options: your team maintains it, we maintain it through the Operate engagement, or we introduce a contracted operator in our network. Most clients keep us operating the first 6 months, then internalise.

How do you calculate the savings?

Before the build we agree in writing which contracts will be cancelled or downgraded once the replacement is live. Savings are measured against those specific line items, based on real invoices. No modelled or theoretical numbers.

How much does it cost?

We don't publish numbers because the shape of the engagement depends on your stack. The audit is a flat fee. The build is quoted after the audit, with a fixed floor for delivery and a success fee tied to the real savings we generate. You see all numbers before anything is signed.

Do you work outside Brazil?

Yes. The team is bilingual, engagements outside Brazil are delivered in English by default, billing happens in USD. Active clients in Brazil, prospects in the US, UK and Portugal.

Why should we trust you over a larger firm?

A larger firm has to keep you on a retainer to stay profitable. We are incentivised the opposite way — to finish fast, leave the code with you, and move on. The fee tied to savings is there to enforce it.
