PDaaS
Your ideas are out of this world.
Product Development as a Service (PDaaS) by Locally UK enables you to identify, develop and optimise digital products efficiently. Let us make your ideas a reality.
"Locally UK have been excellent partners in delivering a truly independent platform. Their service is second to none." - Jeff Moody, Commercial Director of Bira.
What is PDaaS?
Discover. Execute. Support.
PDaaS is a scaleable service that simplifies the journey of software development, from the initial concept right through to user adoption. It enables companies to access experience and resources to ensure an efficient product delivery system.
Benefits of PDaaS
Outsourced efficiency.
PDaaS disrupts the restraints of internal product development. Outsourcing removes restrictions and limitations surrounding budget and staffing. You gain access to an agile workforce comprising of experienced personnel and knowledge of best practices in software development.
Tested frameworks
Perfected delivery.
Tried and tested methodologies support development and help to quickly identify stress points within a project. Utilising a proven framework provides a cost effective solution to avoid project derailment. PDaaS adds an enhanced level of certainty, keeping development on time and within budget.
Consumer satisfaction
Maximised ROI.
With a 50-80% failure rate within the software development industry, PDaaS is a vital service to reduce risk and increase ROI. Offering a fixed monthly payment structure and agile growth strategy, our service eliminates overspend and returns a greater ROI.

Huddle and analyse.
We worked with our client to establish the viability of their proposal, to make sure we would be delivering value to their members. We ran different exercises across their membership and executive teams, and analysed the results.
Execute
Strategise.
From these results, we were able to establish and define the MVP. We developed a release plan, highlighted required functionality and assigned the relevant teams to deliver, whilst meeting budget constraints.
Support
Production and deployment.
Throughout development, we conducted weekly meetings including progress, prototypes and sprint demos, keeping our client fully updated. The system was deployed on time and on budget. We provided our client with additional monthly services to manage and maintain the platform throughout user adoption.
