Yes, software development services can often be customized to your particular requirements. Multiple packages or plans with different levels of assistance and services may be available from service providers. You may discuss what you want with the vendor and personalize the upkeep services to your specifications.

It is difficult to afford experienced personnel to start and enhance a project if a company does not have a significant budget. One of the possible benefits of Offshore Software Development is that organizations may save money by recruiting foreign labor to perform the same tasks for a lower cost. New marketplaces are created. A company's client base can be expanded to other nations by establishing an offshore presence.

We deliver the project within the committed time frame. As we follow a tight schedule in every project, we get the work done more speedily.

We offer support and maintenance plans that account for expected and unexpected software issues across various devices and systems. In addition, from beginning to end of the whole development process, we will provide you with the following support.

  • Requirements Analysis and Planning
  • User Experience
  • Storyboarding

During the app development process, you may see every stage. As a result, you may easily meet all of the essential criteria. Our core focus is client satisfaction.

Absolutely not! We want you to feel certain that you'll get the product you want. We welcome you to assess and improve our work at every level, from planning to completion. Our attitude is to collaborate with clients rather than just do duties. We are always willing to communicate and listen.

Yes, with that type of stuff, you are always welcome. Our professionals will complete your unfinished project to your specifications! That is something we will gladly assist you with. Starting with a UX Audit (if necessary), you'll improve your system architecture and add new functionality.

Absolutely. All resources are available as needed. However, the resource distribution is flexible, and it may increase or decrease depending on the timetables and budgets of the clients.

A project manager's chances of team success improve when they combine leadership, influence, and interpersonal decision-making abilities. In addition, when team members witness the project manager adopting a well-documented, proven, and transparent method, they will have more respect for that job and project.

We provide our services to global clients. We have already worked and partnered with 100+ clients from more than 20 countries, including the USA, UK, Israel, Australia, Middle-east and many more.

Yes, of course! Please contact us to discuss your project. After analyzing your requirements, we will provide you with a fixed budget. However, outsourcing programming and engineering skills might feel like a leap into the unknown, particularly for firms that have never done it before. All businesses face risks, but the most successful ones try to minimize them. We entirely understand – after all, we have to deal with the same issues in our own company. So we talk about your project in depth before presenting you with a list of options to pick from.

Although, we wouldn't call it a demo version because we're employing Agile Methodology, which forces us to produce functioning software as quickly as possible and add new features as we go. As a result, you'll be able to test and review your program fairly early on.

We provide several pricing options to our clients, allowing them to select the optimal one from Fixed-price, time-and-materials, or dedicated team models.

We operate in a short iteration mode and test the work results frequently, considering all customer preferences and the target audience's reaction. This technique enables us to supply high-quality items to our clients while meeting their deadlines. Therefore, our major emphasis is quality.

Riseup Labs provides post-development support services for every project. Our support and maintenance services include:

  • Improving customer satisfaction.
  • Achieving maximum app availability.
  • Speeding up backlog implementation.
  • Reducing operational costs.

We use Zoom, Skype, GoToMeeting, or phone calls for arranging meetings. Our customers have access to our project management platform, which allows them to track the status of their project at any time of day. Additionally, we provide clients a one-hour overlap according to their time zone to facilitate rational and successful communication. Depending on the demand, the client can communicate with the entire team or the principal resource(s) during this time.

This is included in the IP contract, and signing an NDA from both sides ensures that. The contract signed by Riseup Labs and its workers has the same commitment. In addition, we regularly inspect our procedures and train our workers. These efforts ensure that the intellectual property of our clients is always protected.

We have a standard approach for dealing with client requests for changes. Any alteration request must first be approved by them. Then, we do an impact study when the client authorizes the proposal. This allows us to provide the client with schedules and pricing estimations. 

After that, we make the modifications when the customer approves the estimates.

You are always welcome to make changes to your projects. However, if the product or the work disappoints you, we strongly recommend you express your requirements clearly to make it perfect.

Yes, certainly. We always sign a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) promising not to share any sensitive information learned during our business relationship. But, of course, we are always willing to sign an NDA if you want.

Our normal development approach includes a peer-review procedure. An application resource's code is always double-checked by another application resource. The program is only available for testing when it has been verified.

Yes, QA is another core service of Riseup Labs. We believe in 'Prevention Over Inspection' when it comes to providing Quality Assurance Services for Quality Deliverables.

Yes, our experts will analyze the concept to see whether the concept is technically possible or not. This process will confirm that the product will perform well and that there are no production barriers.

Yes, we can arrange maintenance of an existing app that needs to be perfect according to your needs.

You reached here because you have an idea; otherwise, you have fundamental business issues trying to solve. You can start instantly by sharing what you are looking for via our contact page or by calling us.

Within 24 hours, you will get a reply to your email with a proposal. Please do not forget to explore our portfolios, products, and services if you want to know more.
