Process
How the work flows.
- 01
Discover
We meet your team, study your current process and agree the goals, users and must-have features. You receive a clear scope and estimate.
- 02
Plan & design
We plan the architecture and design the key screens as a clickable prototype, so you can see and test the product before development begins.

Build in sprints
We develop in short sprints, typically two weeks each, and show you working software at the end of every one. Feedback goes straight into the next sprint.
- 04
Test & launch
Functional, device and performance testing, then a careful launch: store submissions, server setup, data migration and team training.
- 05
Support & grow
After launch we monitor, fix and update, and help you plan the next set of features as your users and business grow.
FAQ
IT Consulting: common questions.
Will you just recommend that we hire you to build it?
No. Our recommendations stand on their own, and you are free to carry them out in-house or with any vendor. If we think you do not need new software at all, we will say so.
How long does a software audit take?
Typically 1–3 weeks, depending on the size of the codebase and infrastructure. You receive a written report and a walk-through session at the end.
What access do you need?
Usually read-only access to the code repository, hosting dashboards and documentation, plus short conversations with the people who run the system. We sign an NDA before any access is shared.
Can you review a quotation or proposal from another vendor?
Yes. We check whether the scope is complete, the technology choices are sound and the timeline is realistic, and suggest questions to ask before you sign.
Do you offer ongoing consulting?
Yes. You can retain us for a set number of hours each month as an outside technical adviser, for example to review releases or join vendor meetings.
