// CONSULTING
Experienced specialists who join your team and strengthen how it works
TechTonic Labs Consulting places engineers, testers, cloud specialists, designers and delivery leads within your team. They attend your stand-ups, work in your codebase and take real work through to production. While they deliver, they address the practices that slow your team down, and those improvements remain in place after the engagement ends.
What your team gains
Most growing software teams do not need additional capacity as much as they need experience. They need someone who has dealt with the same problems elsewhere: a test suite the team no longer trusts, a release process that takes most of a day, or a backlog that has grown difficult to prioritise.
Our consultants do the work they are brought in for, and they also notice what is making that work harder. They raise those issues, show a better way of working and introduce changes in a form your team can sustain on its own once the engagement has ended.
We work across the whole software lifecycle, so you can bring in a single skill or several people who already know how to work together.
- Software engineering: building features and improving code quality
- Quality and testing: test automation and a QA process the team follows
- Cloud and DevOps: pipelines, infrastructure and dependable releases
- Design and analysis: UI/UX design and business analysis
- Delivery: planning, team ceremonies and the flow of work
Who we work with
We work mainly with SMEs, growing businesses and scale-ups. In teams of that size, one experienced person can change how everyone works, and there is rarely time for a lengthy procurement process. We are based in Centurion, Gauteng, work with clients across South Africa and share your time zone.
Our structure is deliberately lean, which keeps costs down. You deal directly with the people doing the work, without an account manager relaying messages between you.
Consulting and TechTonic Labs
TechTonic Labs, the other side of the company, builds products and runs complete projects for clients. Consulting draws on the same people and the same standards. The difference is that our consultants work inside your team rather than running the project on your behalf.
An engagement can begin with one specialist or a small team. Where the work calls for a team we will recommend one, but the number of people and their levels remain your decision.
// FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is this staff augmentation?
Contractually, yes. Our people join your team under a contract with us. What you are engaging, however, is expertise rather than hours: people who do the work and improve how your team does it.
Can we start with one person?
Yes. Many clients start with one specialist and add people once they have seen how we work. We may suggest a small team if the problem requires it, but the decision is yours.
Do you work with large corporates?
We can, but our work is best suited to smaller and growing businesses, where one experienced person makes the greatest difference.
Where are you based?
Centurion, Gauteng. We work with clients across South Africa, remotely or on site, and keep the same working hours as your team.
