Summary

What we do

SWITCH is an innovation management company. We focus on using technology to help corporates with their innovation journeys.

SWITCH’s lean approach to innovation helps to:

  • Align innovation to business strategy, from the outset.
  • Give executive line-of-site for all innovations.
  • Deliver speed & value in your innovation process.
  • Facilitate rapid prototyping.
  • Reduce cost & wasteful expense.
  • Prioritise customer centricity.
  • Ultimately, helps innovations deliver ROI.

We achieve the above by building various tools that can be used to aid companies in following a lean process. These tools include a simulator, an innovation management platform, and several others.

Why Work For Us

SWITCH is made up of an experienced team who have innovated successfully in the global market. We are practicing what we preach and constantly incorporating our client feedback into future releases of the various products.

We are helping our clients everyday to lower costs and increase revenue through innovation. The development team is the core of the business. You would have the flexibility to try new things, learn new technologies and most importantly have fun.

We are a small team and we are very flexible. Anything and everything can and should be discussed.

Our Engineering Process

We have a very basic process at the moment where high level requirements are added to Pivotal Tracker (moving to Jira and / or Trello). These are then discussed in detail and notes are made. We then discuss who will tackle what with assigned timelines. We run this process in 2 week sprints. All completed tasks are tested and either get fixed or make it to production.

Our Hiring Process

We have a very informal hiring process. We have a discussion with all candidates and find out what SWITCH can offer them and vice versa.
