Building a billing engine is a hassle. It requires many hours of coding and testing and if things go wrong – you’re in trouble. We like recurring billing and we like the SaaS model. We knew most of our products would be built on this infrastructure so we decided to create a stand-alone billing engine. We’ve now reworked this and are offering it to anyone who wants to build a service with subscription billing.
All you need to do is drop in your gateway information, integrate your product with our API and you’re done. We handle the billing, upgrades, downgrades, failed credit cards, invoices etc..
Don’t worry we don’t touch your money at all! Our gateway integration allows the money to go straight into your account. Frulo is simply the logic that handles this process.
We’re not trying to be the be the most dynamic billing system. We just want to do subscription billing and do it well.

What does it do?
It ’s a virtual desktop which enables you to create shortcuts to websites and online applications.
Why did we build it?
Majority of the software we use at Platform45 follows the software as a service model. This means that instead of downloading and installing software on our computers, the software is hosted by the provider and we access it through a standard web browser. Just as you would create shortcuts to your applications on your desktop, we’ve created a virtual desktop to store shortcuts to your SaaS applications.
How do I use it?
- Choose an application from the list. (if you use one that isn’t here please let us know and we’ll add it)
- Enter a name and your URL to the service
- The shortcut will appear on your desktop. Click “launch” to access your service.
- Finally save your LaunchDeck and add more applications.

This application was conceptualized, designed and developed as part of our one-day app challenge.
