The untapped market of startup consulting

Given the fact that the world is getting extremely competitive and it is getting extremely difficult to have all the capabilities in one place, outsourcing product development is gaining fast acceptance.
Get in touchAs a firm, your core capabilities might not always lie in product development. It is also possible that the product you are thinking of launching now is different from your core capabilities. Also, sometimes the product you are looking at creating might be too complex or simply a side product pilot.
There are usually two ways to go about it – either you hire resources, or you could outsource the product development. Hiring resources may not always be justified because technological resources do not come cheap and it makes absolutely no sense to put people on the bench once the project gets over.
The other option or outsourcing the product development makes more sense because, in this, you engage on just product basis with no fixed costs attached. At RavStack, we specialise in building bespoke solutions for your needs so that not just you minimize your costs but also get the best product ever.
Outsourced product development is all what its name implies. It is basically a process of outsourcing the development of a product to a third party due to a number of reasons. It is related to the activities relating to the building and maintenance of a product.
It ensures that expertise and skills are never compromised while delivering the final output to the client. It is the process where companies delegate the tasks to the companies or individuals with greater expertise and skills.
Some may feel the concepts of outsourcing product development and outsourcing software application development the same. But there is a thin line of difference. That thin line of difference is basically from the concepts of skill sets, standards, expertise and way of execution.
Get in touchThere are numerous reasons contributing to the need for outsourcing product development. Here below, are some of the most common and most prominent reasons.
A good product outsourcing firm would provide you with not just their expertise in handling the frontend, backend, cloud or other relevant technologies and tools but also give you access to choose from their pool of developers so that you know that it is only the best who are working for you.
Since you would be contracting the work to a different firm altogether, you wouldn’t have to worry about the fixed and variable costs that come in the development of adequate infrastructure in house.
Also, the costs will end with the product development project end thus saving on a long-term expenditure which you could have otherwise incurred.
Considering that a firm which runs on developing products for others would have one of the best talent pools, realistic expectations for your product would be laid. Such an experienced firm can help you develop a focused roadmap inclusive of the user journey and upgradation requirements which could come at a later stage
A step by step approach is always good for any work. Prior planning can always help in achieving foreseeing results. Similarly, OPD should also be looked after by a step by step approach.
There are many things to look after in the lifecycle of a product. These may include
A product company can delegate, one, more or all of the tasks to the outer experts. If the companies are on a larger scale, they can start with outsourcing just one or two of their activities and gradually increase their external dependence.
On the other hand, startup companies rely more on outsourcing as it is their developmental phase and they have to retain their clients. So, in order to serve the expertise on the silver platter, they put their stakes on outsourcing and focus themselves mostly on marketing and handling the front-end with the client.
At RavStack, we understand the need to create a dedicated strategy to ensure the success of your product. Hence, we do not go by the book always but research enough to ensure that you have your custom strategy
Whether it is about initial conceptualization, development, validation or redesigning, at Ravstack, we are always at the top of things. We follow iterative development with pipeline automation done through DevOps tools. The code and design are lean and we prefer Microservice led architecture.
The products we develop at RavStack are thoroughly created for the present as well as the future and hence not just are they durable but are also easily scalable.
The prototyping we do is highly functional, supremely aesthetic and refined irrespective of the stage that the prototyping is being done for.
Thanks to our diverse network, we make sure that your product has only the best of the ingredients to its making and all the side things like shipping, fulfilment, personnel management etc. are on point too.
At RavStack, we do a daily standup amongst our project teams and ensure that seamless two-way communication is maintained at regular intervals with the client so as to appraise them of the developments proactively.

Ideation is a process which starts right after you discuss the idea with us. This stage is about clearly defining the objectives and Layouting the plan for the development after facts have been established through adequate market research.
This stage starts parallelly with the ideation stage itself. The key objective of this stage is to arrange for and align all the resources required for the development process. Once that is done, development starts.
The stage where the final set of testing is done to ensure that the product thus developed is as per expected standards. In some cases, a pilot is done too should that be required.
Once the product has been handed over, maintenance or upgrading might be required. This stage is about facilitating all the processes involved in the same.
We have worked with numerous sharks of the world from a diversity of business sectors including
Transportation Sector
Food Sector
Service Sector
Medical Sector
