Planning and Designing Successful Products, New Value Streams and Lasting Value for Your Business.
Sparq’s collaborative, outcome-based approach combines strategy, design and development to bring your ideas to reality.
We support you throughout your product’s lifecycle by first engaging a multi-disciplinary Agile team to deeply understand your idea or business problem. We then design the experience around the customer’s needs, implementing the technology to deliver, execute and release your product with confidence. We use a POC (Proof of Concept) / MVP (Minimum Viable Product) approach to getting a fast start and we iterate to get to the best possible outcomes in the shortest amount of time.
The results are successful products quickly brought to market, new value streams and lasting value for your business.
Successful products sit at the intersection of a customer or market problem, and the desired business outcome. Product Strategy locates and defines that intersection. Sparq brings product management, business analysis and design expertise to digital product development that helps clients decide why to build, how to build and what features are most important to bring the most value to the end user and the business.

A SaaS company catering to the home construction industry had outdated product architecture that needed to be modernized for quicker product releases. We moved our client’s flagship applications to the Cloud so our team could build and deploy much more quickly, while also introducing Agile methodology to the development process.

As a result we streamlined the time it took to get their products to market, enabling them to generate revenue faster and get their clients the technology they need to revolutionize the home construction industry.
Our client, a global logistics company, needed to introduce a cloud-based customer-facing application to allow customers to view their scheduled trailer requests and submit ad hoc requests in the event of volume spikes.
