Ship in Six | Systems Integration by Loupe

Systems Integration, Revolutionized

Modeled after agile software development, Ship in Six transforms complex, long-term projects into manageable, incremental steps. Each six-week sprint is meticulously crafted with an engineering team and flexible scope, ensuring every challenge is addressed sequentially and efficiently. This approach guarantees a higher success rate, maximizes cost efficiency, and delivers revolutionary machine outcomes swiftly. From initial napkin sketch to tangible solution, we bring structured expertise to every innovative challenge we tackle, helping our customers achieve their goals faster.

Why Ship in Six

Doing something that has never been done before requires intention, structure, and a tried-and-true process. Ship in Six is our answer to that: a unique approach to solving new and unknown challenges. Unlike traditional fixed-bid contracts that often lead to overblown specifications and rigid constraints, our six-week sprint approach transforms how we work. By committing to a fixed number of engineering weeks with a flexible, best-effort scope, we mitigate costs and risks significantly, fostering innovation and efficient problem solving. Our process revolves around two key phases:

Shaping Phase: This phase is where ideas take shape. We conduct Discovery & Assessment, analyze existing frameworks, and craft Architecture Designs. This phase adapts to emerging insights, ensuring we anticipate challenges and set a solid foundation for success.

Delivery Phase: In six-week-sprints, concepts become reality. Each sprint produces shippable, finished products or features, leveraging our proactive approach to tackle challenges head-on. We maintain momentum by swiftly integrating new discoveries, ensuring continuous innovation and superior outcomes.
