Whether you want to develop a new application, optimize existing systems, or find the best way to automate your business processes, Rocksolid transforms your vision into powerful, scalable software, ready for the future.
Introduction
The first step in our process is creating a solid foundation. During the introduction phase, we sit down with you to understand your vision, needs, and goals. We discuss your ideas and explore how they can be translated into technical solutions.
Together, we develop solutions that stimulate innovation. This phase kickstarts our collaboration, focused on ambitious yet achievable goals. At this point, we align initial expectations and priorities.
Good to know:
- Be clear about your goals and needs to lay a strong foundation for the project.
- Prepare to share any existing documentation or reference examples.
- Identify which parts of the project matter most to you, so we can give them extra attention.
- Discuss how often and in what way you want to receive project updates to stay informed.
Design & Sprint
After the introduction, we begin designing your solution. We create an initial concept and prototype that will serve as the basis for the final application. In this phase, we work in sprints; developing in phases and gathering regular feedback.
Good to know:
- Provide timely and constructive feedback during the design and prototyping phase.
- Keep communication open and active to avoid misunderstandings.
- Be open to collaboration on adjustments or changes that may arise during the project.
Software Setup
With the design approved, we shift into the software setup phase. We ensure all features and updates are thoroughly tested before going live. This includes integration tests, quality checks, and preparing the staging environment.
Good to know:
- Stay involved with the progress and request updates if needed.
- Ensure decisions can be made quickly, especially in critical project stages to avoid delays.
- Communicate any changes or additional requests promptly.
Software development
During the development phase, our team of skilled designers and developers builds the application according to the agreed specifications and design documents. We focus on creating a user-friendly interface and ensuring all functionalities work as intended.
Before launch, we emphasize a thorough testing phase, in which your role is essential. By leveraging collaboration and your input, we ensure the software fully meets your needs and expectations.
Good to know:
- Involve your team in testing to gather well-rounded feedback.
- Allocate sufficient time for comprehensive testing so bugs or areas of improvement can be found and addressed.
- Keep a detailed log of all feedback and issues discovered during testing for systematic resolution.
- Share the testing results with all stakeholders so everyone is aware of any changes or updates.
Launch
After extensive testing and quality control, it’s time to launch your solution. We ensure a smooth transition from staging to the production environment and guide you throughout the launch to make sure everything goes according to plan.
