Consulting & Strategy

We help $10–250M revenue software teams steady the roadmap, fix delivery, and unlock the next S-curve — without enterprise drag or startup chaos.

Let's talk growth

Is this you?

You don’t hire a consultancy like RocketApex because things are easy. You call us when at least one of these is true:

Revenue has plateaued even though product and engineering are shipping “stuff”.
Incidents and support tickets are piling up and nobody trusts releases anymore.
An aging platform (often Rails) is slowing everything down and nobody is sure what’s safe to change.
You’ve tried adding more people or another vendor , but outcomes haven’t moved.
You have a big bet to make (new product, new market, new unit) and can’t afford to get it wrong.

If that feels familiar, you’re in the right place.

What we actually do

Consulting & Strategy at RocketApex is not about slide decks. It’s about changing the shape of the next 90–180 days for your business.

We typically help teams to:

Stabilise delivery – fewer incidents, fewer fire - drills, calmer releases.
Unlock growth levers – new product lines, new segments, or better conversion on existing flows.
Optimise cost structure – better infra usage, smarter team shapes, moving work to the right time zone.
Get a shared, believable plan – executives, product, and engineering pulling in the same direction.

Every engagement is tied to a small set of measurable business outcomes, not outputs.

Key outcomes from recent work

Across our customers, we’ve seen results like:

17%

Increase in revenue for a US customer

How did we do it?

We helped them to diversify into adjacent business verticals to increase their revenue.

22%

Reduction in costs for a German customer

How did we do it?

We reduced support costs by setting up a GCC offshore.

45%

Reduction in churn for a UK SaaS customer

How did we do it?

We helped identify customer pain points and enabled them to solve unknown issues.

These weren’t “consulting reports”. They were the result of concrete architectural, product, and organisational changes we shipped together with our clients.

How an engagement works

We prefer to start with a focused 90-day engagement, then extend once both sides see the impact.

1. Diagnose (Weeks 1–3)

Deep - dive sessions with product, engineering, and business stakeholders.
Review of architecture, roadmap, metrics, incidents, and customer signals.
Identification of 3–5 critical constraints holding back growth.

Output: a short, pointed diagnosis and a shared definition of success for the next 90 days.

2. Design (Weeks 3–5)

Co-design a 90-day plan anchored on business outcomes.
Decide on team shape: who from your side, who from ours.
Prioritise initiatives across product, platform, and process.

Output: an implementable plan that everyone can believe, not a 120-slide deck.

3. Deliver (Weeks 5–13)

We embed with your team to execute the plan: product changes, architecture decisions, process tuning.
Weekly checkpoints against agreed KPIs (revenue, incidents, lead time, etc.).
Adjust the plan as we learn, instead of pretending reality matches the doc.

Output: measurable progress, calmer teams, and a clear view of what comes next.

What you get at the end of 90 days

By the end of a typical consulting engagement, you’ll have:

A simpler narrative about what’s blocking growth and how to fix it.
Concrete improvements in at least one key metric (revenue, churn, cost, incidents, lead time).
A working operating model for product and engineering, not just a diagram.
A prioritized backlog and roadmap that reflect reality, not wishful thinking.
A clear view of how RocketApex can (or cannot) add value beyond the first 90 days.

If we’re not the right long-term partner, we’ll say so — and leave you better off than we found you.

Why teams choose RocketApex

Aligned with your company goals

We start with your business objectives, then work backwards to architecture, process, and staffing. Our consulting is designed to make company-level metrics move, not just team-level ones.

Identifying challenges and opportunities

Because we work across multiple industries and platforms, we’re good at spotting non-obvious constraints and opportunities — things that are hard to see from inside the system.

Implementable, step-by-step change

We favour simple, implementable changes that compound over time: better ownership boundaries, fewer hand-offs, clearer decision rights, and safer deployment patterns. You should see tangible movement within months, not years.

Our testimonials

RocketApex has been truly awesome to work with. There's a tremendous number of software vendors to choose from and making the initial decision was difficult, but after a few communications, I chose RocketApex and I can't imagine I could have made a better decision. Their speed and expertise has been invaluable and it does not seem possible that another vendor could have been better. Thank you RocketApex for your great communication, expertise, and professionalism."

I had the pleasure of working with RocketApex and was impressed with their exceptional technical skills, attention to detail, and commitment to quality.

The consultants demonstrated a deep understanding of Ruby on Rails, quickly identifying and resolving any issues that arose during the project. They were proactive in suggesting improvements and optimizations to our codebase, making our application faster and more efficient.

Their communication skills were excellent, always keeping me updated on the project's progress and making collaboration effortless.

Overall, I highly recommend RocketApex to anyone seeking a reliable and skilled Ruby on Rails team.

RocketApex was great! They competently got the job done, was great at communicating, and clearly is a talented software vendor. I am a software engineer myself and they understood the requirements exactly and got the job done well.

Our values inside consulting

Our values stay the same no matter the engagement:

Create positive impact – for customers, teams, and the wider ecosystem.
Always look for better ways – we question processes, incentives, and assumptions.
Learn quickly and iterate – we prefer real feedback from production over theory.

Consulting & Strategy at RocketApex is a catalyst: we help you learn from your past, act in the present, and set up a better future operating rhythm.
