Different delivery models, one clear process

Whether you build projects for clients or hire vendors to build for you, Stepwise makes delivery transparent.

Software outsourcing & custom development

Scope, changes, person-days and acceptance, all on record

Common problems
  • Requirements keep changing and scope keeps growing
  • Changes and person-days are argued about at billing time
  • Clients keep asking how things are going
  • Acceptance drags on and delays payment
How Stepwise helps
  • Locked versions become the baseline; additions, removals and changes need online approval
  • Agree person-days in the change log and export it to reconcile with the client
  • Clients follow live progress in the portal and get a weekly report automatically
  • Submit finished work for acceptance in one click; clients accept or explain why not, on record
Recommended: Pro and up (weekly client reports, exports)

SaaS implementation & delivery

Several clients at once, without losing the rhythm

Common problems
  • Several clients are being onboarded at once and progress is hard to keep in sync
  • Client requests arrive scattered and are hard to prioritize
  • Every project runs at its own pace, so people are hard to plan
How Stepwise helps
  • One portal per client, where clients raise requirements and bugs themselves
  • Everything lands in the project backlog first, then gets planned into versions and sprints
  • One weekly rhythm for the whole company, settled and rolled over every night
  • Workload shows whether everyone is fully booked each week, so you can rebalance in time
Recommended: Flagship (unlimited projects)

IT services & on-site teams

People everywhere, work and results still visible

Common problems
  • Staff are spread across different client sites
  • Workload and performance are hard to measure
  • Clients do not see what the service delivered
How Stepwise helps
  • Every task and bug has an owner, and hours are tracked automatically
  • KPI scores per role, ranked by week, month and year
  • The weekly client report shows what was delivered and fixed
  • WeCom QR sign-in and project updates pushed to group chats
Recommended: Flagship (includes KPI)

Managing your software vendors

Your vendor runs Stepwise, you follow everything in the portal

Common problems
  • You cannot see how the outsourced project is going until someone reports
  • Requirements changed several times with no record
  • Unclear acceptance criteria lead to disputes
How Stepwise helps
  • Follow progress, raise requirements and report bugs in the client portal at any time
  • Scope changes need your approval, and every one is on record
  • Accept online; when something is wrong, explain why and attach screenshots
  • Receive your vendor's weekly client report automatically
Your vendor creates your portal account, and it does not count toward their seats
