Having limited resources including time, funding and staff, software development is a critical part of any startup's evolution. The key focus is always on launching a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) as quickly as possible to evaluate and test the market.
We understand that startups in conjunction with software development must move quickly and adapt to changing market conditions, which requires the use of rapid iteration.
Our expert software developers are utilizing the agile software methodology which allows for constant collaboration, flexible product- and feature development and project management to always optimally use the available resources.
We take the time to understand the business and goals and use that to suggest and create a software solution that will help achieve success.
We design secure, efficient, cost-effective and user-friendly product and provide visuals that reflects the vision to ensure no resource is wasted when it comes to the build.
We develop the MVP with all the core functionalities and important minimum features that is enough to be launched as quickly as possible to validate the product idea at an early development stage.
Having an MVP ready is not the end of the process - don't stop gathering feedback and testing the changes to build a full-scale product your customers will love - we as a long-term partner offer comprehensive support and continued development of additional features.
You are not just getting a group of individuals, you're getting a cohesive, efficient, and resilient resource dedicated to product development excellence.
Key benefits of partnering with us:
Increased operational efficiency and business performance
Focus on core aspects of the business and strategic tasks
Flexible solutions and business scalability
Financial resource savings and lower operational costs
Access to high expertise and specialized skills
Accelerated implementation of new projects and services
The first step is understanding your organization, where we take the time to learn about your business, your customers, and your business goals.
Once we have a clear understanding of your organization and goals you are hoping to achieve, we start to design a custom software application considering factors such as budget, timeline, and resources to ensure that the plan we develop is realistic and achievable.
Based on the information gathered in the discovery meeting, we develop a detailed project plan that outlines the scope of the project, the timeline, and the resources required. We determine the feasibility of the project and how we can implement it successfully with the lowest risk in mind. In addition, the project plans we create include a detailed cost estimate, based on the required resources.
We work with you to identify the features and functionalities your custom software application needs to have in order to meet your business goals.
We use a variety of techniques to clarify your requirements, including user stories and wireframes. Our goal is to create a shared understanding of what your software application needs to do and how it will work to ensure that the solution we create is technically feasible and can be implemented within your budget and timeline.
This phase includes the development of a prototype model that can give you the opportunity to visualize what the product will look like and make changes without having to go through the hassle of rewriting code.
This phase is where we divide the project into software modules and turn the software requirement into code that makes the product. We also prepare cloud environments for software development, testing and production.
We always follow strict coding standards to keep high-quality code through the development and set up Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) tools that radically reduce the chances of breaking anything while making code changes at a later development, enhancement and maintenance stages.
We apply software modularity with clear communication between each module to avoid future roadblocks. We achieve that by creating APIs that can be utilised by external services as well, which in turn can eventually contribute to the latter rapid growth of your product.
Maintenance works are also taken into consideration while developing the software, not after its completion.
We immediately test the code we write, so the testing phase runs parallel to the development phase. We combine automation and manual testing to check the software for bugs.
Quality analysis includes testing the software for errors, and we guarantee product demonstration and acceptance (beta/user) tests at the end of every iteration (sprint) to check if it meets your requirements. These tests are carried out on a separate testing environment, which allows you to safely play with the product before releasing it to the market.
Our quality assurance team perform the following types of testing:
The most exciting phase after your product passed the quality assurance stage - we deploy the final software to the production environment so your users can start using the product.
We also hand over all the reports, source code ownership and the complete software to you.
Software maintenance is equally important as the development phase.
In the maintenance phase, among other tasks, we fix bugs, resolve customer issues, and manage software changes. In addition, we monitor overall system performance, security, the removal of outdated or redundant functions and software, and user experience to identify new ways to improve the existing software.
Furthermore, if required, we perform capability enhancement that focuses on software programs, hardware and infrastructure upgrade, compilers and all other aspects that affect system workflow.
The released product currently serving your business needs on the live (production) environment is most likely not the final version.
The market and the needs are changing, so you should perform careful analysis and take the result into account in product development, for example, expanding or refining the existing functionalities or implementing new ones based on data such as user needs and new technologies. However, scaling does not always mean adding new functionalities. Automation can lead to automating tasks previously performed manually or semi-automatically.
Scaling is a process of careful observation and quick response to changes to ensure your product continues to fulfil your business goals.
As your long-term partner, we are always here to evolve and scale together with you in your exciting journey.
that are the blueprints laying down the foundation for a successful collaboration and establish the structure and guidelines for the partnership, outlining the roles, responsibilities, communication channels, and project management methodologies to be followed.
The selected engagement model not only streamlines the development process but also enhances the quality of the final product, ensuring it aligns with your expectations and needs. It also plays a vital role in reducing risks, optimizing resource allocation, and facilitating a transparent and productive partnership.

When you have well-defined project requirements for the solution or application to be developed.
When the scope of work associated with a project isn't fully defined and will be continuously evolving.
When you hire a software developer team from us to work exclusively on your project.
With a clear idea, it is easier to budget and plan timings, but there are numerous factors like
Based on our experience, an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) could be anything from £6,000 to over £50,000 while a medium/large-sized project easily over £100,000.
We always sign a non-disclosure agreement before starting any bespoke software development and our team members follow security standards to retain the integrity of every detail and data you share with us.
At the very beginning of the project, before engaging with us, automatic transfer of the Intellectual Property is detailed in our agreement.
During project handover, we provide you with complete designs, wireframes, documentation, diagrams and software source code. The copyright, proprietary rights of the application, and licenses of all integrated components are in your name from the beginning.
