Client-oriented product development process
Are you ready to spark transformation? Jump into product development with Zealcraft and benefit your business by partnering with true experts.
We guarantee our clients:
01.
Flexibility
Do you want to lock in a price before product development starts, or do you want to pay based on the resources spent? With fixed-price and time-and-materials models, both options are available at Zealcraft. We understand that different projects have different needs, and we are ready to address those needs with flexible services and solutions.
02.
Expertise
80% of our team consists of senior specialists with 10+ years of experience in product development, deployment, and maintenance. They can provide innovative solutions to the most challenging technical problems. They can also accompany your product throughout its entire development lifecycle and adapt development strategies based on your business needs.
03.
Dedication
We understand that some products require long-term engagement, and that's why we offer dedicated teams that work exclusively with you. Such teams can operate as autonomous departments or augment your in-house staff. They will advocate your business interests in all implementation stages from product planning and development to maintenance and support.
04.
Customer-centricity
At Zealcraft, we believe that our client's success is our success. We treat each project as a unique business opportunity and put in all the effort to make the most out of it. Our passion for exceeding client expectations is translated into customized services based on thorough market research and strategic product development.
05.
Confidentiality
We respect the privacy of all our clients. Before beginning work, we sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to safeguard the confidentiality of each client's proprietary information and ensure the security of their business assets. We also use secure technologies and tools throughout the product development lifecycle to protect sensitive data and avoid security threats.
06.
Compliance
We guarantee that all our software solutions are fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other industry-specific standards. Our clients can rest assured that their products are developed with security and privacy in mind and that their customers' data are well-protected from cyber attacks.
An inclusive and structured approach
We firmly believe that effective solutions start with strategy, not tech. That is why we take consistent product development steps specifically tailored to the unique needs of our clients.
01. Research and analysis
At Zealcraft, we begin product development with market research, customer evaluation, and competitor analysis. Our product development specialists and business analysts run surveys, interviews, and industry
studies to understand users' needs and learn the competitive landscape.
Before the first line of code is written, we know exactly how your product will fit the target market, how it will stand out from competitors, and what value it will bring to users. We understand the
motivation of customers to interact with your solution. Additionally, we outline the product's strong and weak points to give you a realistic picture of business development perspectives.
02. Ideation and conceptualization
Together with you, our team of experts will collaborate on the ideation and conceptualization phase, refining and turning your ideas into viable concepts that align with your product goals.
When the product vision is agreed upon, we'll create a Proof of Concept (PoC) to ensure your idea is technically feasible. First, we will develop a functional decomposition of the future product and
determine the most challenging feature from a technical perspective. After that, we will brainstorm ways to bring that feature to life. When the most complex part of the product is proven to be
implemented within the budget, you can be sure the product can be successfully launched.
03. Design and prototyping
We understand that the product interface forms each customer’s first impression, and ensure this impression has the desired ‘wow’ effect. Our
UI/UX design
process is driven by principles of usability, attractiveness, and brand compliance. We create design solutions that go hand-in-hand with the business philosophy, promote the company's
mission, and communicate product value to the target audience.
During the design process, we create user personas, information architecture, wireframes, and prototypes. We use such tools as Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Miro. Before product
development starts, we agree on final mockups with the client and polish every detail of the product interface.
04. Development and testing
Throughout the course of product development, our experts craft robust business logic, scalable databases, and cutting-edge architectures. We ensure that our APIs are designed to be intuitive and
convenient for seamless integration with your business processes. We also stay ahead of industry trends to launch customer-centric interfaces built with the latest front-end frameworks.
Recognizing the importance of delivering bug-free and speedy software, we conduct rigorous testing and quality assurance procedures. Our specialists work with cloud software and on-premise programs. We
also provide pentest services to rest assured your product is well protected from malicious attacks.
05. Launch and support
Our team deploys the product on the selected IT environment and provides technical assistance for the installation and configuration. We can also train your staff to ensure a seamless transition from
legacy systems, adoption of the new product, or integration with third-party services.
After launch, we provide ongoing maintenance and support. We monitor software performance, gather feedback, and make necessary improvements to keep it compliant with customers' needs. As a part of
our after-launch services, we identify hardware and software issues, diagnose and repair faults, resolve network problems, and create technical documentation and guidelines.
Curious about the technology stack we use?
Our development team is skilled in a wide range of technologies including, but not limited to, Java, Python, JavaScript, React, Swift, Kotlin, and AWS. We stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends and tools
to ensure our software solutions are cutting-edge and innovative.
After assessing your business goals, we’ll propose product development technologies to help you achieve desired outcomes within established deadlines and budget.
