Ruthless about scope
We help you cut to the features that test your riskiest assumption, and park the rest.
Backendz builds focused MVPs for founders and new product lines: the smallest version that proves people want it, launched fast, at a fixed price, on foundations you can keep building on.
Or see how we engage first — four shapes, no sales call required.
No more spending a year building something nobody has tried
Stop adding features before anyone has asked for them
Forget quotes that grow every time you ask a question
Done with prototypes investors can't actually use
Skip the MVP that has to be rebuilt the moment it works
Say bye to launch dates that move every month
We help you cut to the features that test your riskiest assumption, and park the rest.
You know the cost and the launch date before we start.
We build the MVP on the same architecture we'd use for the full product, so success doesn't mean a rewrite.
We've taken our own platforms from first version to paying customers, so we know which corners are safe to cut.

Most enquiries land in one of these. If yours does not, say so on the call — we would rather shape the engagement than sell you the nearest shape we have.
Typical timeline: 8–12 weeks
Best for: founders with a validated problem and a launch target
Best for: founders preparing to raise
Best for: established companies trying something new
Best for: founders with traction and a growing backlog
Every card is a build we shipped and still support. Open one for the decisions behind it.
What falls inside this service. Nothing here is an upsell discovered later.
We work out what your MVP must prove and which features are needed to prove it.




Operations directors, CTOs and plant managers — the ones still using the system a year after the invoice cleared.
Freight operator · 14 depots
Freight operator · 14 depotsWe wanted answers our team could check against the original document. Having the relevant clause beside the response makes the assistant useful when reviewing policies and contracts.
Our rental journey had to work for both vehicle owners and travellers. Backendz brought listings, availability and bookings together into a platform that feels straightforward to use.
A single headcount does not tell us where congestion is developing. The zone-based view gives our team a clearer picture of how people are moving and where attention may be needed.
Tender preparation involves gathering evidence and getting the right people to review each section. Backendz brought those steps into one workspace, with drafts our team can check and approve.
Our estimating process needed to reflect how we actually price work. Backendz took time to understand the inputs and rules, then built a quoting journey our team could review and refine.
Thomas MitchellManaging Director at Ridgewell Roofing & CladdingThe team took time to understand how our staff work between appointments. The resulting system brings scheduling and client information together without making the day more complicated.
We could review working features throughout the build and give specific feedback. That made it easier to keep the product focused on the people using it.
Our field team needed access to job details away from the office. The mobile workflow keeps the relevant information close at hand and gives the office a clearer view of progress.
We wanted a client portal that reflected how we deliver our services. Backendz brought documents, requests and progress updates into a straightforward experience for clients and staff.
Our teams were entering the same information into several tools. Backendz mapped the process with us and built a more connected workflow with clear review points.
We needed scheduling, availability and shift changes in one place. Backendz shaped the system around the way our operations team works and stayed involved after launch to help us refine it.

We wanted a practical way to review PPE and safety-zone events using our existing cameras. The team focused on the situations our site managers need to investigate and made the footage easier to review.
The priority was a counting workflow our warehouse team could use during a normal shift. Backendz connected image-based counts with the records we already use and made discrepancies easier to review.
Our information was spread across several operational systems. Backendz designed a clearer way to ask questions, inspect the supporting evidence and keep approval with our team before an action is taken.
The reconciliation workflow gives our finance team one place to review mismatches and supporting records. We can trace an exception back to its source and decide what needs attention.
We had outgrown the spreadsheets that held our pricing rules. Backendz helped turn that knowledge into a quoting tool we can maintain and explain to new colleagues.
Connecting our sales and inventory systems was the priority. The integration gives our team a clearer view of updates and a practical way to investigate records that need review.
The cloud work started with understanding our existing systems and dependencies. The team documented the setup and gave us a clearer basis for monitoring and ongoing maintenance.
The engineers worked alongside our team and explained their decisions clearly. Code reviews and practical documentation helped us stay involved throughout delivery.

The things people ask before they commit.
Ask it on the call. We would rather answer an awkward question early than discover it in month three.
Book a callAn MVP, or minimum viable product, is the simplest working version of a product that real users can use. Its purpose is to test whether people want the product, and how they use it, before investing in a full build. A good MVP is small in scope but solid enough to build on.
A prototype shows how a product could look and work, usually without real data or users. An MVP is working software that real users sign up for and use. Prototypes test ideas with feedback; MVPs test them with behaviour.
Cost depends on the core features, the platforms and any integrations. Backendz fixes the scope and price of every MVP before work starts, so the budget doesn't drift.
Most MVPs take 8 to 12 weeks from scope workshop to launch. Simpler web MVPs can be faster; MVPs that need both iOS and Android, or complex integrations, take longer.
Not if it's built properly. Backendz builds MVPs on the same architecture as a full product, keeping the scope small rather than the foundations weak, so the MVP becomes the product.
We track how users behave, collect feedback and help you decide what to build next, whether that's new features, scaling or a change of direction. Many clients keep working with the same team as the product grows.
