What We Do

Research and estimation

Planning

Design, software and hardware prototyping

Custom development (making sure you retain all the IPr) or cloud service accelerated development (fast time to market and validation of features, seamless scaling and monitoring)

Redesigning and re-platforming existing products that are on the verge or already experiencing growth challenges

Transparent support of delivered solutions with predictable budget frames in our specialized Application Continuity Center

Our product development framework

Our product development framework is split into 5 distinct phases to ensure that every step through your journey is well-planned and properly executed for success.

Idea validation and prototyping

1

We enable rapid product creation so you can quickly test ideas and get meaningful metrics on how your customers behave. You can rapidly change and adapt by comparing alternatives in your approach through data-driven A/B testing and other strategies.

We can help you prove your ideas’ worth through product ideation, design, and efficient delivery of an MVP.

You get:

Business analysis

Idea stress test

Product strategy

Initial project estimates (time and finance)

Design and planning

2

Once we have a product strategy and a plan to realize it, design and implementation specifics play a key role in the product’s success.

The product design and the whole implementation process are implemented with feedback loops to the product strategy, allowing for early pivots in focus, zooming in or out of product features, and finding what works best for your business model.

Our digital solutions and service accelerators will allow you to easily pivot your offerings and validate ideas with a quick turnaround time. We have a broad portfolio of technological capabilities and thus can let technology serve your vision without being shaped by its capabilities.

You get:

Development plan

Technology stack and product/solution architecture

Final project proposal (time and finance)

Development

The only way to gauge an idea is to bring it to the market and the right way to do it is fast and simple. But development means more than just software to us. The crucial implementation detail we must get right is developing the user experience.

Our dedicated UI/UX teams specialize in delivering outstanding user experiences in your product and validating your ideas even before we commit code to them.

Our architects, designers and engineers will support you from idea screening and prototype development and validation, all the way to the improvements and the final launch and support of the live product.

You get:

Design

Layout

Source code

DB implementation

APIs

Testing

The essence of product development is testing.

The test strategy we implement for your product considers many aspects of being of service to the product vision and implementation, delivering quality, and ensuring that quality of delivery is in tandem with your product vision. Products tend to become good at what they are tested for. We know how to plan for and test products throughout the development lifecycle to deliver quality solutions.

You get:

Test automation

Test scripts

Security testing

Deployment and productivity

5

Products can only succeed when they adapt to real-world usage. The ability to evolve, deploy, monitor, maintain and support products in real usage scenarios is what differentiates a cool demo from a growing business. Our Application Continuity Center excels in taking the complexity of keeping a product alive efficiently, so we can focus on delivering the sustainable competitive advantage you need, keeping the operational details transparent.

You get:

Continuous maintenance and support

Simple change requests and upgrade mechanisms

Easily transferable and detailed documentation

FAQ

How long does it take to start a project?

Depending on the project’s technology, size, and complexity, it usually takes between 3 and 6 weeks to start a fresh project.

How do you ensure product quality?

By working close to the customers and having as many sessions as possible with your team and focus groups. Embedding controls help us understand how the product is being used in real life, making sure what is important to the customer is the focus of our quality assurance.

How do you choose the right technologies for your product goals?

We do product development with the mantra that the business need or problem solved is more important than the technology used. We have a broad portfolio of engineering abilities and thus do not exhibit preferences for particular technological solutions, but at the same time we have a broad enough technology overview to spot a ready solution for an opportunity.

What happens after product delivery?

We will support you through agile delivery while we develop and validate your product vision. Once your product hits the growth phase, we will maintain it through a transparent model with dependable support. We utilize our Application Continuity Center, which specializes in product support and maintenance.

How do you mitigate project risks?

We have trained and certified product and project managers who will assess, plan and set contingencies in accordance with the risk management plan we set for your product.
On the engineering side, we work small with testable deliveries to validate the product as it is being delivered.

What makes Scalefocus different from other product development companies?

We are working small with a focus on detail and understanding the critical aspects of product development (stemming from our experience working with startups and scaleups). Scalefocus has the understanding and the ability to be beside you through the growth phase when you will meet the challenges of scaling systems and teams, reinventing business practices to accommodate expansion, entering new markets, and responding to competition in an agile manner (gained through our work with established enterprises).

How can we help you create breakthrough technology instead of incremental improvements?

We are fostering a culture of innovation in all of our teams, encouraging everyone to challenge ideas and redefine solutions if they can offer a better implementation for even a small task. Having enough people on the teams that are thinking and not just doing leverages the potential of everyone to innovate and sometimes leapfrog an idea to the next level.

How can we help you gain a significant share of a small market through refocusing?

We have over a decade of experience in more than a dozen industries delivering products. The power of creating your product is in choosing your battles and getting working solutions and concepts from other business verticals. We can help you identify the potential for refocusing a product by analyzing how it is used and coming from our experience in multiple product developments across industries.

How can we assemble the right team to deliver the solution?

Every product needs different skills at the various stages of its fruition. Our product delivery managers understand the needs of an intense product development cycle and will proactively propose the right expertise to be brought on board just when it is needed.

How do we help you establish a way to deliver the final product?

There is no final product. A product and its needs evolve as it is being developed and validated through the market. There is no single right way to deliver a successful product, but the agility to respond to change is key to adapting to the needs of product development. Our approach, engineering capabilities, and diverse product expertise provide the agility required for product development.

How do we help you defend your market position 10-20 years in the future?

Understanding different business models and stickiness factors for product offerings, as well as the subtlety of building intellectual property for huge companies for over a decade, will come into play to help you build and offer your product in such a way that you will be able to sustain your competitive advantage longer.

How can we help you see opportunities others do not see?

We encourage our engineers and managers to think before they act and question before they implement. Thinking through alternatives is what we do before embarking on a complex implementation. We will try to see opportunities or alternatives that you are missing and give you options.
