Our collaborative process

At Shape, we work side-by-side with you from project kickoff through agile development, using an iterative approach to refine, test, and enhance your software at every stage.

Kickoff & Event Storming (Discovery & Requirements)

We start by working closely with you to get your expertise out of your head and into our hands. This helps us deeply understand the problem we’re solving before jumping into solutions.

UX Design & Prototyping

With a clear understanding of the problem, we design the user experience and create interactive prototypes so you can see how your product might work before we build it.

Prototypes are easy and cost-effective to change, software isn’t.

We walk through the prototype together, making changes based on your feedback until we’re confident it solves the right problem, the right way.

Sprint Based Development & Agile Delivery

Now we build. We work in focused sprints, delivering usable features regularly with full visibility into progress as the product takes shape.

Release Your App & Improve

Launching is just the beginning. We embrace agile methodologies to continuously refine your product based on real user feedback and evolving business needs. With regular iterations and transparent communication, we ensure your software stays relevant, reliable, and aligned with your goals,  adapting quickly to deliver ongoing value as your business grows.

Combined Cost Calculator

We were invited to tender for a public sector contract to redesign a lease extension calculator and lease length checker. The organisation already had both tools, but they had been built separately and operated as two disconnected services. No shared data between them. No analytics. No APIs. No way to plug them into other government systems or plan for future digital transformation.

What sets BYB apart is not just their service, it’s also their proprietary technology, built and maintained by Shape’s dedicated in-house team, which enables them to operate efficiently in a complex, niche industry.

AI-Powered RFP Review

How We Helped a Construction Services Company Process Bids Twice as Fast. For companies in construction and property services, managing the constant flow of RFPs (Requests for Proposal) is a daily reality. When bid volumes spike, teams scramble. Decisions get rushed. Mistakes slip through. We worked with a UK-based construction services company facing exactly this challenge. They were drowning in RFPs, relying on institutional knowledge locked inside people's heads, and occasionally accepting contracts that didn't align with their business criteria.

GeezerGPT

GeezerGPT — our latest side project — was built for the [Shipathon Hackathon](https://devpost.com/software/geezergpt-your-football-chat-sidekick) hosted by RevenueCat. With the new Premier League season kicking off, we thought it’d be fun to build a cheeky football-themed app that lets fans chat, banter, and stay up to date — all powered by AI.
