Proof of Concept (PoC)

At Toru Digital, we specialise in creating small-scale prototypes that demonstrate the viability of concepts, helping you make informed decisions about larger investments and future project directions. For example, the Diversey SDS Case Study illustrates how our tailored approach ensured a successful transition from concept to a scalable, effective digital asset platform.

The importance of PoC cannot be overstated, particularly for innovative or high-risk projects. By proving that an idea works in a controlled environment, we help reduce risk, save time and money, and generate buy-in from stakeholders. This process aligns with insights from The Benefits of Building a Custom DAM System, which highlights the importance of validating bespoke systems to ensure alignment with business needs.

Moreover, our PoC process fosters continued idea generation, enabling an agile approach where concepts can be tested, refined, or pivoted based on initial results. Cloud infrastructures like AWS enable us to quickly set up robust environments for testing complex concepts. By adopting the latest AI-powered tools, we streamline PoC development, as showcased in the SEKO Hub Case Study, where real-time analytics and agile methods transformed a vision into a powerful operational platform.

Our methodology mitigates potential pitfalls and paves the way for more confident and successful full-scale development. This allows us to create PoCs that not only demonstrate technical feasibility but also showcase potential user adoption and business value.

Design:

We kick off with a collaborative Discovery workshop, diving deep into your concept, target audience, and business goals. From there, we define a focused test concept that aligns with these goals, sketching out the core features and user flows, ensuring we capture the essence of your idea.

Build:

Our developers then create a working prototype, focusing on the key functionalities that will best demonstrate your concept's potential. We pay special attention to creating an intuitive user interface, even at this early stage, as we believe user experience is crucial in proving a concept's viability.

Optimise:

The prototype is presented to a test group, gathering feedback from stakeholders and potential users. This valuable input helps us refine the concept, identify potential challenges, and uncover new opportunities. By analysing the results against project objectives we are then able to draw conclusions about the concept's success and determine the next steps.

• Risk Mitigation: Test your ideas before committing significant resources to full-scale development.
• Stakeholder Buy-in: Use a tangible prototype to convince investors, partners, or internal decision-makers.
• Rapid Iteration: Quickly validate and refine your concept based on real user feedback and data.
• Cost-Effective Innovation: Explore new ideas and technologies without the expense of full development.
• Informed Decision-making: PoC provides valuable insights and data to guide strategic decisions about project direction and investment.

Proof of Concept development offers businesses a powerful tool for risk reduction, early validation, and innovation, enabling confident decision-making before committing significant resources. Toru Digital's expertise in leveraging cutting-edge technologies and agile methodologies ensures efficient, insightful, and creative PoC solutions that drive visibility and build confidence in your most ambitious projects.

Whether you're looking to disrupt your industry with a revolutionary app, explore the potential of emerging technologies, or simply validate a new feature for an existing product, our PoC Development service is built to support your vision and drive your business forward.
