How we work · VelocitySprint®
Bespoke software, without the usual risks
Software projects usually go wrong in three ways: the bill keeps growing, nobody can see progress, and you're locked in. VelocitySprint® is designed to stop all three.
Learn More- MonSprint starts
- TueDaily update
- WedDaily update
- ThuDaily update
- FriYour call: continue · change · stop
Daily progress through the week. Every Friday is your call: continue, change or stop.
Pay for output, not hours
Each deliverable is scoped and priced in OutputUnit® units, a unit of finished work rather than time spent. The bill doesn't grow because a task took longer.
See progress every day
Short sprints with daily updates and working software early, so you judge real screens rather than status reports.
Escape Hatch Friday™
You're never locked into a sprint that stopped making sense on Tuesday. Change direction or stop at the end of any week.
What will it cost? Bespoke builds under £7.5k are rare. Every sprint is priced before it starts and payments are phased with delivery, so you agree the cost of each step before it begins.

We are happy to have exploratory no-obligation discussions.
We are a mobile app development company based in Birmingham, UK
We understand that figuring out how to leverage technology to deliver your ideas can be daunting, and without an effectively executed plan, there is project risk, and business risk. You rightly want it built correctly, to the latest standards, in a way that supports future extensions. You also deserve great design, an attentive project-managed process, and an end-product that meets your expectations.
It's easy for any agency to claim they can deliver what you want, but how can you know for sure that they can deliver on those promises?
Scorchsoft believes that success is the combination of many factors coming together, like a song, compiled of different but complementary melodies. Our success factors include: the use of the latest development technologies, such as React and React Native, a well-managed and capable UK team, and business processes that ensure quality whilst protecting against errors.
With over sixteen years of experience delivering highly technical projects, Scorchsoft is uniquely positioned to apply this expertise to the benefit of your business. We will help you to solve challenging problems, and do so in a way that cuts through the tech-jargon and gives you clarity. Executed following a clear plan, project managed at every step of the way. You can read more about our approach in our frequently asked questions.
And, if you would like to consider us to develop your project, then please let us know what you want to achieve, and we will let you know our ideas and an indication of cost.
