Use Case · Multi-Tenancy & Branding

Run a multi-tenant SaaS on industrial data — without rebuilding the platform.

Ship a connected product to your dealer and customer network on day one. Flex83 hands you tenant isolation, per-tenant RBAC, white-label branding, usage metering, and federated SSO — built in, production-ready, and proven at 1.5M-device scale.

The Problem

Multi-tenant industrial SaaS is the hardest part of the OEM build — and the first thing customers see.

Every connected product an OEM ships is a SaaS product to their dealers, sub-tenants, and end customers. The hard part isn’t the use case — it’s the platform around it.

41 months

Average OEM time-to-market

Time from project kickoff to first paying customer for a connected product — an 80% climb since 2020. The platform layer is where most of that time goes.

Hyperscaler services to stitch

Identity, tenant isolation, RBAC, branding, metering, audit, federation — each with its own SDK, billing line, and breaking change. None of them ship together.

Of pilots never reach scale

When you finally land your enterprise customer, multi-tenancy and federated identity are non-negotiable. Bolting them on later is what kills the deal.

The Platform Solution

Tenant isolation, branding, and metering built into the platform — not into your roadmap.

Flex83 ships every primitive a multi-tenant SaaS needs as first-class platform capability. Provision a new tenant in minutes. Theme it under your customer’s brand on day one. Meter usage for monetization. Federate identity with their SSO.

Your engineering team builds the product. Flex83 is the platform underneath it.

Per-Tenant RBAC

Role and permission models scoped inside each tenant’s workspace.

White-Label Branding

Per-tenant logo, palette, custom domain, and emails — no code.

Federated Identity

SAML and OIDC SSO into each tenant’s IdP of choice.

Usage Metering

Per-tenant device, API, and storage meters for monetization.

Tenant Audit Log

Immutable per-tenant audit trail — SOC2 and ISO ready.

How it works

One platform. Isolated per customer. Branded as yours.

A reference architecture for shipping a multi-tenant SaaS product on top of Flex83.

1
Provision Tenant

Spin up an isolated workspace via API or console in minutes.

2
Connect Devices

Ingest Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT data into the tenant’s namespace.

3
Brand & Federate

Apply white-label theming and wire up the customer’s SSO.

4
Ship Apps

Roll out dashboards, AI features, and APIs to that tenant only.

5
Serve

Track usage per tenant and bill on devices, API calls, or AI usage.

What You Can Ship

A flatter cost curve and a smaller platform team.

Three things that change when 25 services become one platform.

Launch tenants in hours, not sprints

One contract, one billing model. No more 2 a.m. CloudWatch bill spikes from a misconfigured Kinesis shard.

Ship under your brand on day one

Per-tenant custom domain, palette, logo, and emails — configurable, not coded. Your customer never sees Flex83.

Turn devices into recurring revenue

Meter per-tenant usage to bill on devices, API calls, AI inference, or storage. Move from one-time hardware sales to ARR.
