What problems has Novatura already solved for product owners and CTOs?

  • Flexible Delivery

    Customers' needs change. That's natural. We support flexible delivery with predictable monthly costs.

  • Rapid Turnaround

    If you've got a deadline looming, and development has stalled, we've got experience at turning things around.

  • Technical Uncertainty

    Customer needs an outcome you're not sure how to deliver? We speak business strategy and delivery.

  • Too Much to Build

    Unsure what comes next? We've turned broad visions into feasible deliverables, simply by asking the right questions.

  • Challenging Thinking

    We're not just an order taking agency. We'll challenge you if we see a better way.

  • Security & Maintenance

    We can look after the systems we build, until you're ready to hand over to an internal team.

Why do innovators choose Novatura?

Every partner we have is unique, so the process we follow with them is too. We've supported numerous digital product ventures. From friendly advice, to agile delivery and long-term support.

We're all about starting small, while delivering the most value. That could look like a code review of what you've already got, or doing a few sprints to deliver high-priority features. If you've already got a specification for a full build, we can give you a proposed timeline and cost straight away. If you don't, we can start there by scoping out what should be worked on first.

  1. Roadmaps & Audits

    We'll help you see what you've already got, and plan your build in a way that delivers value quickly.

  2. Build & Test

    We deliver in a way that suits you. Whether that's deploying something quick and building on it, or going all the way.

  3. Continuous Improvement

    As your customers' needs evolve, we can make changes. Optionally, we can stay on hand to make sure you stay looked after.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some of the most common questions we get asked by prospective partners looking to work with us.

Ask us a question

What if I need to change plans during development?

This happens all the time, and it's perfectly natural to need to pivot. No scope can be assumed 100% fixed, which is why we have a change control process. For clients facing frequent scope changes, we have agile retainers which combine flexibility with predictable deployment and billing cadences (scalable to demand).

Who owns the software and intellectual property rights at the end of a SaaS project?

Ownership and intellectual property rights to the final source code go to you, the client. Since this is your commercial asset, and we profit from the build, it's completely against our morals to retain ownership.

We already have developers. Why bring in Novatura?

Novatura specialises in developing digital products. We have strategic and design experience that we bring to the table. Building is the easy part. Knowing what to build first? That's the hard part. If you've already got the execution layer, we're more than happy to take responsibility for design and strategy.

How do we know we won't be locked in to using you?

We understand that sometimes we have to go our separate ways. That's okay. We make sure the systems we create are built to last and kept in a maintainable state. When we hand over to a new supplier or an in-house team, we facilitate a smooth handover and provide migration support - as long as we're not re-hosting the system on their behalf, this is usually done free of charge!

What can I integrate my product with?

SaaS products can be integrated with pretty much any service that offers an API. We could even do spreadsheet/PDF imports or exports if they don't. This includes payment gateways like Stripe, email services like Postmark, accounting platforms like Xero and FreeAgent, or messaging apps like WhatsApp. The list goes on!

Why partner with us?

We're more than an agency that simply delivers against a brief. Our partners like to keep us involved, because important projects never truly end: they keep evolving.

High-quality solutions

We turn broad visions and needs into something deliverable. Along the way, we'll challenge your thinking, to make sure we're solving the real problems.

Small, focused changes

Our philosophy is to build on top of what you already have, to iterate and improve with time. We won't suggest a costly rebuild unless we think it's really worth it.

Long-term peace of mind

We can look after the systems we build so your team doesn't have to. We'll keep things running, so you can focus on running your operations.

Don't just take our word for it, hear from our clients.

Ethos Pharmaceutical Ltd.

The team at Novatura designed and built our new WordPress site, including a members-only area and events booking system - they provided a great service, working with us to define requirements, iterate on design and deliver the final product. We're thrilled with the results and would highly recommend them to other small businesses looking to launch a new online presence!

Novatura digitised our database, making it more accessible and secure. They also updated our website, making it more appealing and informative for our customers. The team were professional, with a young, innovative approach and individual touch.

The team at Novatura have been absolutely brilliant throughout building our new web platform. We are very pleased and would highly recommend their services.

We knew the problem we wanted to solve because we’d lived it ourselves. What we needed was the technical capability to turn that industry knowledge into a platform that could scale with our customers. Novatura challenged our thinking, helped us turn a very broad product vision into something deliverable, and gave us the flexibility to keep developing as customer feedback came in. The relationship has allowed us to stay focused on the commercial and industry side of SHIELD while having a technical team we trust behind the product.

SHIELD

I'm impressed by Novatura's speed and enthusiasm. They don't just take a work item and do what they're told. They make it their own and always take it upon themselves to improve the process or outcome when we're not aware of the full potential or limits of what we're asking for.
