Transparent by defaultEvery request, update and hour documented.
A different operating model

The capability of an internal technology department, without building one.

Shyft becomes the team your business can turn to whenever technology needs planning, building or improving.

One joined-up team

Design, development, AI, automation and technical direction through one relationship.

Transparent by default

Every request, update and hour is documented inside your Shyft Workspace.

Flexible capacity

Use the team across different priorities rather than paying for one fixed role.

No vague retainers

Know what is being worked on, where the time went and what happens next.

Traditional agency relationships can make it difficult to understand what you are paying for. Shyft keeps every request, task, update and hour visible.

Frequently asked questions

A straightforward model, explained clearly.

Is a Technology Partnership the same as an agency retainer?

It gives you ongoing technical capacity, but with far greater transparency. Every request and hour is recorded against the relevant work inside your Workspace, so you can see exactly what is being delivered and where your capacity is being used.

Do we work with one person or a wider team?

You have one clear relationship with Shyft, while different people and capabilities support the work depending on what is required. That may include strategy, design, development, AI, automation or integrations.

How is capacity measured?

Your partnership includes an agreed amount of monthly technical capacity. Usage and remaining capacity are visible inside your Workspace, with time documented against specific requests and projects.

Can larger projects be priced separately?

Yes. Larger or clearly defined projects can be scoped separately when that gives you greater certainty or keeps your monthly capacity available for regular priorities.

Can priorities change during the month?

Yes. Work can be reprioritised as the needs of the business change, while active commitments and delivery expectations remain clear.

Can Shyft work alongside an internal team?

Yes. Shyft can operate as your primary outsourced technology department or provide additional capability alongside internal marketing, product, operations or development teams.
