Lack of experience

To ensure your platform delights your customers or truly optimizes your processes, you need a partner with vision. They should be proficient in current technologies to provide expert advice and develop smart solutions. Otherwise, you will end up with a mediocre platform and mediocre results.

Lack of transparency

The strongest digitalization partners and agencies in Germany place great value on transparency. Before starting a project, they provide clear information regarding costs, timelines, and the level of involvement required from you. They don't promise miracles; instead, they offer honest advice and deliver results as agreed.

Poor communication

Misunderstandings, delays, and unexpected changes: you should get a sense of how your prospective service provider communicates through conversations and references. We prioritize reliable project management and high availability—especially on-site at our Berlin office.

Lack of innovation

The latest technologies are a must in platform development. It is the only way to ensure your system runs fast and securely. It is the only way to easily maintain, scale, and adapt your platform to changing customer needs. And it is the only way to get even more out of your application by integrating new technology trends.

SPRYLAB developed a native app for iOS and Android for us that provides B2C audio/text content for everyday use cases. What I liked most was "sparring" our product vision with their UX designers.

_FAQ

FAQs about SPRYLAB as a platform agency

How long does platform development take, and how much does it cost?

We can develop a simple platform for you within 2–3 months. Complex platforms, however, can take up to a year before they are ready for release. In addition to development complexity, the time to go-live also depends on the client's available resources. If clients require significant time for feedback rounds, the project will progress more slowly. The same applies if many change requests arise during the project.

If an agency advertises short project timelines of just a few weeks, you can assume they are using modular, off-the-shelf solutions, which means your individual requirements can only be partially met. Our focus is on developing bespoke, innovative platforms that require a bit more investment. We can provide a rough estimate of the time required for your platform project after an initial consultation. Feel free to reach out to us.

Development costs vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. We focus on sophisticated and complex platform projects. We take on projects with a minimum budget of 50,000 euros. We work exclusively with our in-house team to ensure the desired quality and consistency of development.

Our goal is cost transparency for you. Therefore, we provide a customized proposal following a comprehensive requirements analysis. This way, you know exactly how your budget is being used and what services you can expect.

How do you ensure smooth integration into my existing systems?

We begin every project with a precise analysis of your existing digital infrastructure, including all interfaces. Based on these results, we design your platform to ensure seamless integration. We utilize compatible, future-proof technologies and conduct extensive testing during development to verify that all integration points function perfectly and that your platform runs error-free.

To ensure you have full transparency regarding the "what" and "how" of the integration, we provide detailed documentation for your internal stakeholders.

How do you ensure that my platform is scalable?

Scalability is a fundamental requirement for a professional platform today. Your new platform needs to perform quickly and reliably, whether it is being accessed by 1,000 users or 10,000. As your technology partner, it is standard practice for us to design platforms with a backend optimized for scalability.

We use microservice architecture and modern cloud technologies like Node.js so that your platform can easily scale vertically, horizontally, or diagonally as needed. We verify scalability through regular load testing during development, making adjustments until your platform is fully capable of handling future requirements. Automation and monitoring systems ensure that your platform continues to provide a compelling user experience once it is live.

When does off-the-shelf software make sense, and when is custom development the right choice?

A key difference: off-the-shelf software consists of fixed functions and can only be configured to a limited extent. Connecting new off-the-shelf software with existing applications is often a challenge. Developing interfaces can be costly and, if not done professionally, can increase the risk of errors and security vulnerabilities. Custom software, on the other hand, is developed specifically for your company and its existing digital processes, either in-house or by an external service provider. The software's interfaces are programmed to ensure smooth and secure operation.

Furthermore, custom software is designed to be flexibly adapted with minimal effort as the digital ecosystem changes. The adaptability of off-the-shelf software is limited to a very narrow scope.

The cost balance of software also varies: the use of standard software, unless it is open source, involves recurring license or subscription fees. What you save is the initial programming effort. When a software development service provider creates a custom solution, you must initially plan for higher programming costs. However, this initial investment pays off if the development is carried out strategically and with a view to the future, as there are no ongoing costs during operation.

Can you also take over and further develop existing platforms?

Yes, we also further develop existing platforms and portals. However, this requires that the code base is of high quality and that the technologies used are compatible with our own, are future-proof, and support the smooth operation of the platforms—not just in the short term, but in the long term. After all, outdated technologies pose not only performance disadvantages but also tangible security risks.

If you are interested in further developing your platforms, please contact us. We will then conduct a detailed analysis of your application to determine whether the prerequisites for further development are met or if a fundamental new development would provide greater long-term economic value.

What will my project team look like?

We will provide you with a dedicated point of contact. They will take on project management duties and assemble a team of specialists tailored to your development project. The size of this team depends on the complexity of your project and the planned project duration. The project manager takes responsibility for the overall strategy and ensures that your project stays on track in terms of both budget and schedule.

The development team itself handles the professional implementation of your requirements. Our team consists of software developers, testers who ensure software quality, and UX designers responsible for the user interface. Depending on project requirements, we bring in additional specialists, for example, those with proven expertise in databases, interfaces, or AI.

We always work in cross-functional teams to consider every aspect of your development from conception to roll-out, ensuring your requirements are efficiently translated into code.

How do you handle security and data protection?

We take data protection and security very seriously, incorporating both into our design and development processes from the very beginning. We implement robust security measures such as encryption, authentication, and regular security updates to protect your platform and the data stored within it. Furthermore, we strictly adhere to applicable data protection laws, such as the GDPR and even church-specific data protection regulations. We also have experience in protecting sensitive personal health data and meeting the requirements for public administration systems. We verify the effectiveness of our security measures during development and, if desired, remain available as a partner for secure operations after go-live.

How long do you provide support for my portal?

Our goal is to ensure your new platform functions perfectly. That is why we offer comprehensive support during the first few weeks following the roll-out. The duration of this introductory phase depends on your personal resources and preferences. We will agree on an arrangement that is perfectly suited to your needs.

You can also book us for ongoing support throughout the entire lifecycle of your application. Our continuous support includes regular updates, security checks, and enhancements to your application. We ensure that your software is always up to date and performing optimally. You won't need to allocate your own resources, and you can rest assured that your software will function flawlessly.

We will define which services you outsource to us as your digitalization partner in a support agreement tailored to your specific situation. Feel free to get in touch.
