Methodology

Listen and Learn

We meet with your team and engrain ourselves into your business. We track your workflows and identify the problem(s) you want to fix. That’s the magic sauce.

Digest and Research

After our initial meetings and armed with our newfound knowledge, we research the competition, look for gaps in the market, and find where your success will lie.

Create and Iterate

We begin the design process once we understand the general direction you want to take. After we create and present a prototype, we'll refine and prioritize project goals. We’ll find what’s working best and then start creating the rest of the necessary designs while simultaneously beginning development. Throughout the process, you receive clickable screens to test and provide feedback.

Build and Test

As the design comps are finalized, we’ll continue development by working through prioritized functionality. You stay in the loop as we report on progress in daily chats, weekly progress meetings, and bi-weekly demos. As new components are built, we continually test for expected functionality.

Review and Repeat

Before your application is deployed, we review all changes and ensure it’s buttoned up and ready to go. After launch, we continue to monitor performance and are on standby for support needs. We know that your application is never fully finished, and we welcome the challenge of making things better, faster, and easier.

Why Barrel Proof Apps?

When a master distiller fills a barrel, the whiskey is undiluted. This full-flavored whiskey, often called Barrel Proof, is a pure expression of the distiller’s artistry and skill. Barrel Proof whiskey is usually sipped neat to showcase the character of the spirit.

At Barrel Proof Apps, we create a similar experience for you. We use your pure idea to develop a bespoke application your customers will enjoy. Nothing watered down, nothing added.
