Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our services, approach, and partnership model

What makes Gimtech's "Convergent Innovation" approach different from traditional agencies?

+

Traditional agencies typically operate in silos—design, development, and marketing are separate departments often with conflicting priorities. Our Convergent Innovation model integrates all disciplines from strategy through execution, ensuring cohesive outcomes. This eliminates coordination overhead, reduces time-to-market by 40%, and delivers 40-60% cost savings compared to managing multiple specialist agencies or expensive global consultancies. Every project benefits from unified strategy, consistent communication, and shared accountability across all service pillars.

How do you handle projects for clients with varying technical maturity levels?

+

We've developed a flexible engagement framework that adapts to each client's digital maturity:

  • Beginner Stage: Comprehensive digital foundation building, including strategy workshops, technology stack selection, and team training
  • Intermediate Stage: Enhancement and optimization of existing systems with focus on integration and scalability
  • Advanced Stage: Innovation partnership focusing on emerging technologies, market expansion, and competitive differentiation

All engagements include education and knowledge transfer to build your team's capabilities.

What is your typical project timeline and delivery process?

+

Our delivery process follows four phases, typically spanning 8-16 weeks depending on complexity:

  • Discovery & Strategy (2-3 weeks): Deep dive analysis, workshops, and roadmap development
  • Design & Architecture (3-4 weeks): Solution design, prototyping, and technical specification
  • Development & Integration (4-8 weeks): Agile sprints with bi-weekly demos and feedback loops
  • Launch & Optimization (1-2 weeks): Deployment, training, and performance optimization

We maintain continuous communication through weekly syncs, shared project management tools, and transparent reporting.

How do you ensure quality and maintain security standards?

+

Quality and security are embedded throughout our delivery process:

  • Code Quality: Peer reviews, automated testing (80%+ coverage), and static code analysis
  • Security: OWASP compliance, penetration testing, and security-first architecture
  • Performance: Load testing, optimization, and continuous monitoring
  • Compliance: GDPR, POPIA, and industry-specific regulation adherence
  • Documentation: Comprehensive technical and user documentation

All team members undergo regular security training and certification.

What are your pricing models and payment terms?

+

We offer flexible engagement models tailored to your needs:

  • Fixed-Price Projects: For well-defined scopes with clear deliverables and timelines
  • Monthly Retainers: Most popular for ongoing support and development (Digital Partner packages)
  • Dedicated Teams: Full-time embedded resources for long-term partnerships
  • Equity/Revenue Share: For high-potential startups where we take strategic ownership

Payment terms typically include 30% upfront, 40% at milestone, and 30% on delivery for projects, while retainers are billed monthly in advance. We provide detailed proposals with transparent cost breakdowns.

How does your Pan-African expansion benefit South African clients?

+

Our Pan-African expansion creates multiple benefits for South African clients:

  • Market Insights: Deep understanding of African markets for expansion planning
