Case studies

Engagements, and what they changed.

Four representative engagements across software, finance and operations. Client names and figures are confirmed with each client before publication; references are available on request.

Software & SaaS · Engineering pod

A nine-person platform team inside five weeks.

A UK SaaS business had lost three contractors in a quarter and its release cadence had slipped from fortnightly to ad hoc. We scoped a managed pod of six engineers, two QA and a delivery lead, and ran the recruitment in parallel with onboarding design.

The pod joined the client's existing sprint cadence in week five and took ownership of the platform domain the following quarter.

5 weeks

From signed scope to first sprint

9 seats

Engineers, QA and a delivery lead

Fortnightly

Release cadence restored and held

Financial services · Finance pod

Month-end close reduced to six working days.

A UK financial services group was closing on day fourteen, with its management accountants absorbed in reconciliation work. We built a four-person finance pod, documented the close calendar and moved transactional processing and bank reconciliation into it.

The UK team now owns analysis, forecasting and business partnering, and the controls matrix goes to audit unchanged.

Day 6

Close completed, down from day fourteen

4 seats

Assistants, accountant and credit control

Audit-ready

Documented controls and segregation

Construction · Operations pod

Project administration across eleven live sites.

A regional contractor was losing site manager time to reporting and document control. An operations pod took on programme reporting, subcontractor documentation and RFI tracking, standardising the format across every site.

Outcome · Weekly client reporting moved from inconsistent to standard, and site managers returned to site.

B2B services · Revenue pod

A qualified pipeline built from a cold list.

A UK services firm had a named account list and no capacity to work it. A three-person revenue pod rebuilt the data, agreed the qualification standard with the sales director and ran a controlled first wave before scaling.

Outcome · A predictable weekly meeting volume and a CRM the sales director trusts.
