Three ways of working with Mavan Services, depending on whether you need a defined build, ongoing build-and-evolve capacity, or someone to run the systems we put in place.
For a well-defined piece of work with a clear outcome and a target go-live date.
Dedicated senior engineering capacity each month — build the roadmap, evolve what's live, respond to the business.
We run, monitor and look after the systems we (or someone else) put in place — so you don't have to staff for it internally.
A predictable five-step shape that we adapt to the engagement — not a heavy methodology we impose on you.
A 30-minute call. We listen to the process that's hurting most. We tell you honestly whether it's worth automating, building or leaving alone.
A short written scope: what we'd build, what it covers, what it doesn't, and the engagement shape (fixed-fee, retainer or managed). No surprises later.
Senior engineers, weekly visible progress, demo-able increments. You always know exactly where we are and what's next.
Roll out with your team — training, documentation, change management. Production-grade from day one, not a prototype handover.
We don't disappear. Monitor, maintain, evolve. Most engagements continue into a retainer or managed-ops relationship.
No bait-and-switch to juniors after the sale. The people you meet are the people doing the work.
Weekly updates, written scopes, demo-able progress — no jargon walls.
Tested, monitored, documented, secured — by default, not as an upgrade.
You own the code. Full handover available on request, anytime.
Where data is sensitive, we host in the UK / EU. No surprises about where things live.
If an off-the-shelf product is better for your case, we'll point you at it. We'd rather lose a deal than mis-sell one.
Because no two of these engagements look the same. A "simple internal tool" can be three weeks or three months depending on scope. We'd rather have a 30-minute call, understand what you actually need, and give you a real number — than post a fake one on a website.
Fixed-fee builds usually start in the low five figures (GBP) for a well-scoped tool or automation. Retainers are sized by the capacity you need each month. Managed ops is sized by the scope of what we're running. We'll always quote in writing before any work starts.
Yes — often. Sometimes we're the entire engineering function; sometimes we sit alongside an in-house team, handling specific systems or filling a senior gap. Both work well.
In the UK by default, in the EU on request. We use mainstream cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and configure region pinning explicitly. If you need on-prem or your own tenancy, we can do that too.
Yes. The code we write for you is yours. You can take it elsewhere at any time, and we'll hand it over cleanly. We don't lock anyone in via the IP.
Most discovery calls happen within a few days. Scoping usually takes a week. We're typically able to start build work within 2–4 weeks of agreement — sometimes sooner.
We write scope clearly so the chances of that are low. Fixed-fee engagements are exactly that — fixed. Retainers can be paused with one month's notice. We'd rather refund a deposit than ship something you don't want.
