Client Success: Quick, Low-Cost Prototype

Problem: Validating a promising new business idea

Solution: Quick, low-cost, semi-custom prototype

Result: Fully functional prototype in 6 weeks

An experienced entrepreneur faced an all-too-common problem. He had a promising new business idea, but did not want to waste 9-12 months building the technical solution only to discover it was not a viable idea.

Not to mention the $50K to $100K to build it.

The client’s idea was a complex commercial real estate website designed to compete with the million-dollar industry leader. The prototype could not practically be built from scratch in a short timeframe.

Our solution was to leverage an existing system and customize it to meet the client’s needs. By starting with a 70% solution the Moventis team could focus on the unique aspects of the client’s idea and deliver a prototype quickly and at a much-reduced cost.

How Did We Do with the Prototype?

Moventis released the prototype to the public in 6 weeks instead of 9-12 months. The client was able to begin gathering feedback from real customers immediately, who were using a fully-functional product rather than a limited beta.

Plus, we delivered the project at less than 10% of the cost of building from scratch.
