Software development
As a skilled, high performing team we have a wealth of experience with a dizzying array of cutting edge technology stacks and development tools. Our focus is always on using the right tool for the project with budget, feature set, and scalability in mind.
SaaS & Platform development
One of our specialties in recent years has been the building and maintaining of brand new SaaS (Software as a Service) platforms for customer-driven startups. Usually these builds involve a Management Portal / CMS, and more than one kind of touchpoint element such as an App, Customer Portal, or Website. We work with you to define the stages for development, so you can keep control of costs.
WordPress Websites
Whilst we prefer to work on larger custom platforms, strategy, and mobile applications, we do sometimes take on the more complicated WordPress projects. Our team has years of experience making custom plugins and integrating WordPress with other systems, as well as producing beautifully designed sites.
SaaS Maintenance & Feature Cycles
If your business already has a complete, or near-complete Platform built elsewhere, we can take on the maintenance and new feature development. We do this in cycles, or "sprints", and can help you craft a milestone plan to keep costs in check.
Integrations, Sync Tools & Middleware
Moving customer and business data between systems can sometimes require custom-built scripts and processes to keep the human errors and time spent to a minimum. With our years of experience wrangling all sorts of transactional, customer, business, analytics, and sensor data, we've become very good at building these kinds of custom integrations and tools.
Web Applications
More than just a basic website, Web Applications are sites that have more complex business logic, custom features, integrations, and often also have multiple levels of user roles. These can be built in isolation, or as part of a platform with an API and Mobile Apps to complement the experience.
API development
The core of any platform or digital transformation project is the API in the centre. We can build bespoke API services as part of a Platform, or they may be isolated as middleware between two systems to provide seamless data synchronisation.
Mobile & Tablet Apps
Our apps are built using the latest React Native framework, so they follow a very similar code flow and standards as the other components we work on. This keeps cost and risk down by ensuring all our developers can handle all parts of the system.
If “native” apps are required though, we can handle those too.
Digital Transformations
A digital transformation can drastically cut down on the time that staff spend moving data between areas of the organisation, increase the potential earning power of the business, quickly tap into new markets, and give the executive team better analytics tools that span all sales touchpoints.
Technical strategy
To build a great house, you need detailed plans. It’s the same for any software development project.
Project Planning & Scope
We can prepare technical documentation to support the build phase, audit existing code or documentation, or assist your internal strategy team before the development is scheduled.
This can include things like Dependency Mapping, Technical Documentation, Code Audits, Functional Specifications, Requirements Gathering, Wireframes and concept designs. It can also include prototyping / R&D to reduce unknowns in a potential project. In our standard project flow, we call this the "Detail" stage.
Solutions Architecture, Project Design
Sometimes you may need some pre-qualifying knowledge or help with early concept approaches / designs, particularly if you plan to go for an early funding round. We can help you figure out a broad approach quickly and efficiently, then build on that approach after you have validated the ideas or gathered the funding.
UX Audits & Consultation
We believe the UX design component is so incredibly important, and needs to be given just as much care and attention as a functional spec. This ensures a project is delivered with high attention to detail and a great user experience as well as functional accuracy.
Our UX / UI support can be delivered as a standalone piece of work, or we can augment an existing project team to fill any gaps in your design capacity.
Technical Oversight
Through years of experience and countless development projects of our own, we know what a high performing development team looks like. We’re also highly skilled at translating between the development team and the business stakeholders.
Project & Code Audits
Sometimes it is necessary to move a project from one developer or agency to another. In these situations, we can be brought in to audit the existing work and provide assistance in the transfer of knowledge and code. If we are to take on the work from another developer, we'll always start with this process first so that the expectations can be clearly set for everyone.
DevOps
Your project may already have a team of developers worth their weight in gold as builders, but with no experience deploying the work to where it has to go or maintaining the infrastructure at scale.
Our team can provide this know-how, and set up devops pipelines in Azure, Bitbucket, and many other platforms to take your team’s beautiful app or website and deploy it reliably to the infrastructure of choice.
Project Management & Reporting
In cases where you or your client wishes to engage a different development agency, contractors, or internal resources, we can provide a quality assurance layer to reduce the risk of timeline or budget impacts.
Stakeholder Meetings & 3rd Party Supplier support
Throughout our projects, we regularly check in with the stakeholders and communicate any bumps or requests as soon as we can. Having this experience baked into our flow means we can offer it as a separate service, if you are having any trouble wrangling stakeholders to make decisions or need someone with a bit more tech experience in the meetings to help make those decisions wisely. We can also help you validate and manage 3rd party suppliers, and ensure they are approaching a technical problem in a secure way and with your best interests in mind.
