Collaborative outsourcing

Outsourcing with a difference

We provide outsourcing with a difference. We want you to feel like we are part of your team, working with you to achieve your goals.

That means bringing our teams together through Agile sprint planning sessions and demos, creating shared spaces to openly discuss your needs, and ensuring there are no knowledge gaps in the process.

Talk to us about your team

Retained development resource

Long-term support that grows with you

We tailor our involvement to match your needs, whether that's a single designer to support your in-house team, or a dedicated squad covering development, design, QA, and PM. It's everything you need to stay responsive, reduce downtime, and keep moving forward, without the overhead of building a full internal team.

Over time, we build deep knowledge of your product and processes, becoming a trusted extension of your team. You get continuity, reliability, and a relationship built on trust, not just ticket-takers.

Plan your engagement

What a retained team brings to your product.

Building great digital products doesn't stop at launch. Whether you're evolving an MVP, expanding features, or keeping things running smoothly, we're here for the long haul.

  • Built for the long haul

    Ongoing roadmap, dependable support, and the ability to flex up or down as your product and team needs change.

  • Ongoing roadmap development

    Work closely with our team to refine and deliver your roadmap. From ideation to implementation, we help you prioritise the right features, respond to user feedback, and keep your product evolving.

    Roadmap, prioritisation, feedback loops

  • Support & maintenance

    We don't disappear after launch. We stay on hand to fix bugs, handle updates, and keep everything running smoothly, so you can stay focused on growth, not firefighting.

    Bug fixes, updates, maintenance

  • Scalable resources, on demand

    Need to ramp up for a release or bring in specialist skills? We flex with your needs. Add or scale back team members without starting from scratch every time.

    Scale up, scale down, specialists

  • A team that feels like yours

    Over time, we build deep knowledge of your product and processes, becoming a trusted extension of your team. You get continuity, reliability, and a relationship built on trust, not just ticket-takers.

    Continuity, trust, deep product knowledge

  • Agile delivery experts

    Regular scrum meetings and continuous communication, with each dev sprint lasting two weeks. We're Scrum Alliance Certified and quality-focused at every step.

Extended team FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Common questions teams ask before bringing GearedApp engineers, designers, and PMs in alongside their own.

We integrate with your team rather than running parallel to it. We join your stand-ups, sprint planning, demos, and Slack, and we use your tools, conventions, and communication channels.

Engagements range from a single specialist for a sprint to a full squad (engineering, design, PM, QA) for a quarter or longer.
