Here to propel your business forward

We work across a wide range of sectors, partnering with businesses to help them evolve thanks to our software development solutions.

Getting your software project back on track

We can offer a fresh perspective to help reset the roadmap and ensure a successful outcome, working as third-party consultants we can offer new skills and evaluate the situation in new ways, bringing new clarity and if required a revised strategic roadmap.

We will work closely with you throughout the project to ensure its success. Think of our development team as part of your own IT team. Our experienced software creators and problem solvers can maximise the opportunity in every software project, and help your business move forward.

The future success of your project and your business is our objective, and we will offer the best advice in order to get your project back on track and ready to meet your expectations.

How do we deliver software project rescue?

Skills

We can add vital skills to your team, the project may have stalled due to key developers moving on to new projects, or the development company going out of business mid-project, but our skills can get your project moving forward.

Management

Timely delivery is a key element in the success of a project, we work to develop a new timeline and ensure we work with transparency to stick to the agreed timeframe, we aim to do our best to make up slippage to time, agreed budgets, or deliverables. We prioritise relationships to keep things moving smoothly.

Momentum

We add new momentum to any project and ensure we listen and support your team in their needs and breathe life into any project that has ground to a halt.

Functionality

We always start by looking at the outcomes you have in mind and use our expertise to advice if the current planned software project will meet requirements, if it doesn’t meet requirements or it has been produced using the wrong software choice we will find the best way to proceed.

Scalable and feasible

Reviewing the feasibility of a project is a key aspect of getting your project back on track, we monitor feasibility at every step of the way and we work to futureproof any solution and ensure there is room for further development, growth and opportunity.

100% UK based

Recovering

We can attempt to recover lost source code from compiled executables or web servers where possible.

Rebuilding

By rebuilding broken source code repositories, in-house development teams can work on the system again, rebooting the project.

Tuning

We can improve poorly performing systems and apps by reconfiguring or fine-tuning them.

Fixing

In poor quality systems our highly skilled team can fix bugs ensuring the system works efficiently.

Rewriting

We are able to take on old systems which have been written in obsolete programming languages, maintain them and update them with new technology, ensuring they are efficient and have the required functionality.

"I contacted Propel Tech to help with severe performance problems with a new environment, which our software supplier couldn’t fix. With Propel Tech’s in depth knowledge & flexible approach to working with our supplier, we resolved the problems to the environment in a controlled way."

Mark Wilson - CIO, Vivid Homes

Our approach

There isn’t a project that can’t be saved, as projects fail for a variety of reasons. We’re here to identify the problem and bring your project back on track.

Investigation

Our software project rescue team will analyse your project, your progress, the data and your delivery requirements to determine where you are now and where you want to be.

Strategy

Working in collaboration with you we will create a rescue process strategy which will help you achieve your goals for the project within a realistic timescale.

Development

If software development is the right solution for you, our team of experienced software developers, project managers, business analysts and infrastructure engineers will work in collaboration with you to produce the software you need.

Recovering and debugging

If the most appropriate solution, our expert team can debug current systems, potentially recover lost code, and repair corrupted code as necessary.

Support and maintenance

If required, we are with you for the journey and offer ongoing support following the completion and implementation of the software as well as adding new features as required. However, and if appropriate, we can also train your staff to be independent and take the software on going forwards.
