We ensure your ERP integrates seamlessly with your existing CRM, e-commerce, and HR systems.

Question 10

Do you offer mobile app development?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we build cross-platform mobile applications using React Native and Flutter, as well as native iOS and Android development when required. Our mobile team handles everything from UI/UX design through App Store and Google Play deployment, including push notifications, offline support, and API integration with your backend systems.

Question 11

What does your UI/UX design process look like?

Accepted Answer

Our design process follows five phases: (1) Discovery and user research -- interviews, surveys, competitive analysis. (2) Information architecture and wireframing.

Our dedicated team model provides you with a fully integrated extension of your in-house team. We assemble developers, designers, and project managers based on your tech stack and project requirements. The team works exclusively on your project, follows your processes, and reports directly to you. We handle recruitment, infrastructure, and HR while you retain full control over priorities and sprint planning.

Question 13

What is your typical project lifecycle?

Accepted Answer

Every project follows a structured lifecycle: (1) Discovery -- requirements gathering, stakeholder interviews, and technical scoping. (2) Design -- wireframes, prototypes, and visual design. (3) Development -- agile sprints with regular demos. (4) Testing -- automated tests, cross-browser checks, performance audits, and security scans. (5) Deployment -- CI/CD setup, production launch, and monitoring. (6) Support -- post-launch maintenance and iterative improvements.

Question 14

What methodology do you follow?

Accepted Answer

We use agile methodologies, primarily Scrum with 2-week sprints. Each sprint includes planning, daily standups, development, and a sprint review with demo. We also support Kanban for maintenance and support engagements. The methodology is adapted to your preferences -- some clients prefer more structured waterfall approaches for fixed-scope projects, and we accommodate that too.

Question 15

How do we get started with a new project?

Accepted Answer

The process begins with a free consultation call where we discuss your goals, requirements, and timeline. We then provide a detailed proposal including scope, technical approach, timeline, and cost estimate. Once approved, we kick off with a discovery workshop, assemble the team, and begin development within 1-2 weeks. Contact us at retechasia@gmail.com to schedule your initial call.

Question 16

How do you handle communication during a project?

Accepted Answer

We use agile methodologies with regular sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives. Communication happens through your preferred channels -- Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom. You receive weekly progress reports and have direct access to the project manager and development team. We also use tools like Jira, Linear, or Notion for transparent task tracking so you always know the status of your project.

Question 17

How involved do I need to be during development?

Accepted Answer

That depends on your preference. Some clients want daily involvement in standups and design reviews, while others prefer weekly summaries and milestone demos. We recommend participating in sprint planning and review sessions (roughly 2-4 hours per sprint) to ensure alignment. Beyond that, our project managers handle day-to-day coordination so your time investment remains manageable.

Question 18

What happens after the project launches?

Accepted Answer

We provide 30 days of complimentary post-launch support covering bug fixes and minor adjustments. Beyond that, we offer ongoing maintenance packages that include regular updates, security patches, performance monitoring, and feature development. Many clients continue with a retainer model where we allocate dedicated hours each month for continuous improvement.

Question 19

What pricing models do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer three flexible pricing models: (1) Fixed Price -- ideal for projects with well-defined scope and requirements, giving you cost certainty upfront. (2) Time and Materials -- best for evolving projects where flexibility is needed, billed hourly based on actual work. (3) Dedicated Team -- a monthly retainer for ongoing collaboration with a dedicated team. We recommend the best model based on your project scope and business objectives during our initial consultation.

Question 20

How do you estimate project costs?

Accepted Answer

We estimate costs through a detailed discovery process that includes requirements analysis, technical scoping, and work breakdown. We evaluate complexity, number of features, integration requirements, and design needs to produce a comprehensive estimate. For fixed-price projects, we provide a detailed proposal. For time-and-materials engagements, we share rate cards and estimated hours per phase.

Question 21

Is there a minimum project size?

Accepted Answer

We do not have a strict minimum project size. We have completed focused engagements like single-feature builds, CMS migrations, and UI/UX design sprints that ran for 2-4 weeks. That said, most of our successful engagements span at least 4-6 weeks to allow for proper discovery, development, and quality assurance. We are happy to discuss projects of any size during an initial consultation.

Question 22

What is included in the project cost?

Accepted Answer

Our project costs cover the full development lifecycle: business analysis, UI/UX design, frontend and backend development, QA testing, deployment, and documentation. For dedicated team engagements, the monthly retainer covers salary, benefits, equipment, office infrastructure, and management overhead. We are transparent about what is included and any optional add-ons before engagement begins.

Question 23

How do you handle scope changes during a project?

Accepted Answer

For agile (time-and-materials) projects, scope changes are handled naturally through sprint planning and backlog prioritization. For fixed-price projects, we follow a formal change request process: we assess the impact on timeline and cost, provide a revised estimate for your approval, and then implement the change. This ensures transparency and prevents unexpected budget overruns.

Question 24

Do you require upfront payment?

Accepted Answer

Typically, fixed-price projects are structured with milestone-based payments -- for example, 30% upfront, 30% at midpoint, and 40% on delivery. Dedicated team engagements are billed monthly in advance. We are flexible with payment structures and can accommodate terms that work for your organization, including net-30 invoicing for established accounts.

Question 25

What technologies do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

We work with a modern tech stack including React, Next.js, Vue.js, Node.js, Python, and TypeScript on the frontend and backend. For mobile, we use React Native and Flutter. Our CMS expertise covers WordPress, Strapi, and headless CMS architectures. We also have strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), and we integrate AI/ML capabilities using frameworks like TensorFlow and OpenAI APIs.

Question 26

How do you ensure code quality?

Accepted Answer

We enforce code quality through multiple layers: code reviews on every pull request, automated linting and formatting (ESLint, Prettier), unit and integration testing with Jest and Playwright, static analysis tools, and CI/CD pipelines that run tests before any code reaches production. We also follow established coding standards and maintain comprehensive documentation throughout the project.

Question 27

What cloud platforms do you deploy on?

Accepted Answer

We deploy on AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, Vercel, and Cloudflare, depending on your project requirements and existing infrastructure. We set up CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar), containerization with Docker, and infrastructure-as-code using tools like Terraform. We can also deploy to your existing cloud environment if you have one.

Question 28

How do you handle security?

Accepted Answer

Security is built into every phase of development. We follow OWASP guidelines, implement authentication best practices (OAuth 2.0, JWT, multi-factor authentication), use encryption at rest and in transit (TLS 1.3), conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans, and set up monitoring for threat detection. We also ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR where applicable.

Question 29

Can you integrate AI into our product?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we integrate AI capabilities across our solutions. This includes AI-powered content tagging and recommendations in CMS platforms, predictive analytics and intelligent automation in CRM systems, natural language processing for chatbots and support tools, and custom ML models for domain-specific use cases. We work with OpenAI APIs, TensorFlow, and other AI frameworks to deliver practical, production-ready AI features.

Question 30

Do you support existing codebases?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we regularly take over and modernize existing projects. We start with a thorough code audit that evaluates architecture, technical debt, test coverage, and security posture. We then document the current state, identify areas for improvement, and create a transition plan. Whether you need ongoing maintenance, feature additions, or a complete refactor, we can integrate with your existing codebase.

Question 31

We also provide ongoing feature development through retainer agreements.

Question 32

What are your SLA response times?

Accepted Answer

Our standard SLA includes a 24-hour average response time for support requests. Critical issues (production outages, security vulnerabilities) are addressed within 4 hours. We tailor SLA terms based on your business needs, and higher-tier support agreements are available for mission-critical applications that require faster response and resolution times.

Question 33

Do you provide hosting and infrastructure management?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer managed hosting solutions that include server setup, configuration, monitoring, automated backups, SSL certificate management, CDN setup, and performance optimization. We manage infrastructure on AWS, GCP, Azure, Vercel, and Cloudflare. You can also choose to host on your own infrastructure and we will handle the deployment pipeline.

Question 34

How do you handle knowledge transfer?

Accepted Answer

We prioritize knowledge transfer throughout the engagement. This includes comprehensive technical documentation, architecture decision records, API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI), runbooks for operations, and video walkthroughs for complex features. For dedicated team engagements, we also offer direct knowledge transfer sessions with your in-house team.

Question 35

Can we scale the team up or down after launch?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our engagement models are designed for flexibility. You can add developers, designers, or specialists with 2-4 weeks notice. You can also scale down or transition to a lighter maintenance model when project demands decrease. There are no long-term lock-in contracts or penalties for adjusting team size.

Question 36

How do we report issues or request new features?

Accepted Answer

We set up a shared project management board (Jira, Linear, or Notion) where you can log issues and feature requests directly. Each item is triaged, prioritized, and scheduled into upcoming sprints. For urgent issues, you can reach your project manager directly via Slack or email. We maintain a transparent process so you can track the status of every request in real time.
