Digital product agency

A digital product agency isn’t just a software development company. A digital product agency guides your product from conception to completion, strategizing, iterating, designing, validating and testing throughout the engagement. In this way, a product agency provides a much more holistic service to the client. These companies work with teams to:

‍

• Build web and mobile apps that drive new lines of revenue
• Create solutions to increase efficiencies
• Iterate on existing products so that they meet results
• Align groups on a common vision
• Arm companies to scale faster than their competitors

What is a digital product agency?

A digital product agency creates screen-based products and services. More specifically, these companies have the expertise and resources to build custom web and mobile applications. They guide large enterprises to startup level companies and help their business grow with scalable software solutions.

At Crema, our product teams are composed of Coaches, Designers, Product Managers, Developers, and Test Engineers. Each of these crafts work together to ensure you’re creating the right product at the right pace to meet the needs of your business.

Why hire a digital product agency?

Compared to the average internal team, agency teams are optimized for speed, focus, and innovative projects or initiatives. There are also clear processes built in that guide diverse, cross-discipled teams, ensuring your project is built with several perspectives in mind.

‍

Plus, an agency team lacks the internal biases that might prevent your product from reaching its full potential. Since these teams have worked on countless different projects, they’ve had time to solidify and refine their processes for optimal efficiency. With an agency, you’ll also reduce time spent recruiting and retaining and won’t be bound by geographic location.

Hiring a digital product agency rather than an internal team can also be less of a risk. If leadership has a change of heart and your team is dissolved, it’s much easier to end a contract with an agency rather than firing full-time employees. In that same vein, you still get the same level of dedication and product knowledge from an agency that you would from an inside hire.

Finally, working with a digital product agency gives larger enterprises the startup energy needed to complete projects quickly and think outside the box. Because agencies are agile and small (with much less red tape), they can help you build a product that would normally take years to build in just months.

Digital products and services

Something that makes a digital product agency different from a typical custom software development shop is that they offer services that go beyond the design and coding. These offerings help your team get aligned behind a direction, receive user validation, create cross-platform consistency, and more.

The benefit of working with an agency that specializes in how teams work well together is that you have this guidance through every engagement – no matter which service best fits your needs.

‍

App Development

The bread and butter to our digital product agency is app development and design. For the last ten years, we’ve been fine-tuning the way we prioritize tasks, construct our teams, and leverage time spent collaborating to make each engagement better than the last.

Crema designs and builds web and mobile apps using trusted and modern frameworks such as React, React Native, TypeScript, Express, GraphQL and more. You can learn more about the languages and frameworks we’re proficient in by checking out our app development page.
