FAQ
Questions before you book
Not covered here? Ask on the call.
What does SmartX do for Spoors?
We support the product's development and evolution, with work spanning the cloud, DevOps, application development and modernisation. Spoors is growing through the way its product keeps evolving, and we continue to work alongside its team as it grows.
Can you take over an existing SaaS product?
Yes. We start by reviewing the code, architecture and release process, then agree a plan in the Problem Brief that you sign. Modernisation happens in phases, so your customers keep using the product while it improves.
Do you only work with startups?
No. Startup Factory companies such as Spoors sit alongside enterprise clients including ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and Kimberly-Clark. The same PRISM gates apply to both, scaled to the size of the product and the team behind it.
Who owns the product code?
You do. All code, decision records and datasets belong to you, and handover is part of the final PRISM gate. After go-live you get a 60-day written bug-fix warranty, and PRISM OPS is available for 24/7 monitoring and ongoing improvements.
