Our process - The Forward Deployed Engineer Model
We don't build software for you - we build it with you. Our engineers embed directly with your team to create solutions that solve real problems and deliver immediate value. It's consulting meets software development, Texas style.
Go On-Site
We don't just collect requirements from a conference room. Our team comes directly to your workspace to sit with your actual users - whether that's your sales team, customer support staff, or field agents. This isn't a typical discovery call; it's full immersion into your daily operations.
Think of us as embedded engineers who become temporary members of your team. We shadow your employees, attend your meetings, and experience your pain points firsthand. This approach reveals insights that traditional consulting never captures.
By the end of this phase, we understand not just what you think you need, but what will actually move the needle for your business. We've seen how your team really works, identified the bottlenecks that slow you down, and discovered opportunities you didn't even know existed.
What we do on-site
- Shadow your team members
- Map real workflows
- Document pain points
- Interview actual users
- Observe daily operations
- Identify automation opportunities
Deep Observation & Rapid Prototyping
While we're embedded with your team, we're not just watching - we're building. Our engineers develop working prototypes in days, not weeks. As we observe your workflows, we immediately start crafting solutions that address the specific challenges we're witnessing.
This isn't about building the "perfect" solution from the start. It's about creating something tangible that your team can interact with, provide feedback on, and help us refine. Every prototype iteration is informed by real user behavior and immediate feedback from the people who will actually use the system.
Our rapid development approach means we can test multiple solutions quickly, learn what works and what doesn't, and pivot based on real-world usage rather than theoretical requirements. By the time we're ready for our demo, we've already gone through several iterations with your actual users.
They built three different prototypes in the first week, each one better than the last. By day 10, they had something that solved problems we didn't even know we had.
Our rapid development approach
- Daily Prototyping. We build functional prototypes every day, incorporating immediate feedback from your team to ensure we're solving the right problems.
- Real User Testing. Every feature gets tested by actual users in their real work environment, not in a sterile testing lab.
- Iterative Refinement. We refine our approach based on how people actually work, not how they think they work or how processes are supposed to work.
Wow Demo & Close Project
After weeks of embedded development, we're ready to show you something you've never seen before. This isn't a slideshow presentation - it's a live demonstration of a working solution that your team has already been testing and refining.
Our demo showcases immediate value. We show you exactly how much time you'll save, how many errors you'll eliminate, and how much revenue you could generate. Most importantly, we demonstrate that we've truly understood your business because the solution addresses problems your team lives with every day.
This approach consistently wows our clients and ensures satisfaction is always met. Why? Because you're not buying a promise - you're buying a solution that already works and that your team has already validated.
What makes our deliveries different
- Live Working Software. Not mockups or prototypes - actual working software that solves real problems your team faces every day.
- Proven ROI. We show concrete metrics: time saved, errors reduced, processes automated, and revenue opportunities identified.
- Team Validation. Your own employees can testify that the solution works because they've been using and refining it throughout our engagement.
- Immediate Implementation. Because we've built it in your environment with your team, deployment can begin immediately after contract signing.
Deploy & Optimize
Our engagement doesn't end with deployment. We continue our on-site optimization approach, working alongside your team to ensure the solution delivers maximum value as your business evolves.
We monitor real usage patterns, gather feedback from daily users, and continuously refine the system based on actual performance data. This ongoing optimization ensures your investment continues to pay dividends long after the initial deployment.
Our post-deployment support isn't traditional help desk support - it's continued partnership. We remain embedded enough to understand how your business changes and proactive enough to evolve your solution accordingly.
Ongoing optimization includes
- Performance monitoring
- User adoption training
- Feature enhancement
- Workflow optimization
- ROI measurement
- Strategic planning
Our approach - Why the Forward Deployed Engineer Model works
Traditional consulting creates solutions in isolation, then tries to fit them to your business. Our forward deployed approach creates solutions from within your business, ensuring perfect fit and immediate adoption.
- Embedded. We work alongside your team, not above them. This creates solutions that fit naturally into existing workflows and culture.
- Rapid. Days to prototype, not months to plan. We build fast, test immediately, and iterate based on real feedback from actual users.
- Validated. Every feature is tested by the people who will use it every day. No surprises at launch because your team helped build it.
- Demonstrable. We show working software, not PowerPoint promises. You see exactly what you're buying before you buy it.
- Proven. Our approach consistently beats traditional vendors like Salesforce by being faster, more tailored, and immediately valuable.
- Optimized. We don't disappear after launch. Ongoing optimization ensures your solution evolves with your business needs.
