Distributed ledger that finally solved a trust problem we had spent three years arguing about

Rupert Ashford / Director of eCommerce - Hargrove Retail PLC
Verified
Jan 14, 2026

Project summary: A previous engagement had delivered something that worked in staging and struggled in production. We approached this project with greater rigour in vendor selection as a result.

Our stakeholder group included board members, clinical leads, compliance officers, and end users — each with different technical literacy and different success criteria. This team navigated that stakeholder landscape as well as any vendor I have seen. They adjusted their communication register depending on the audience without losing the substance. They managed expectations honestly throughout. And they delivered a system that each group can point to as meeting their requirements. That breadth is genuinely uncommon.

PROS

Delivery timeline that proved achievable rather than optimistic, estimation accuracy that reflected real analysis rather than competitive bidding, scope discipline that prevented the feature creep we had experienced before

CONS

The quality of documentation they produce means our team needed to set aside dedicated review time to do it justice — a minor scheduling point rather than a genuine criticism

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
Hargrove Retail PLC operates in the Sports & Fitness sector with headquarters in Manchester, UK. In my role as Director of eCommerce I am accountable for the full technology agenda — infrastructure, product, and vendor relationships. We are a commercially driven organisation and every technology decision is evaluated against a clear business case before it is approved.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
Regulatory requirements in our Sports & Fitness segment had changed and the compliance timeline was set by our regulator, not by us. The Blockchain Development changes required were significant enough to justify engaging a specialist partner rather than diverting our internal team from the product roadmap.
What services did the company provide for your project?
End-to-end Blockchain Development delivery with particular depth in the integration and data migration components, which were the highest-risk elements of the programme. They supplemented this with a dedicated QA resource throughout development and a documented runbook for our operations team at handover.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
We had a failed engagement behind us and were more rigorous in our selection process as a result. We asked detailed questions about how they managed scope change, how they handled estimation, and how they communicated problems. The answers were specific, evidenced, and consistent across the team members we spoke to. That gave us confidence that the process was real rather than rehearsed.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Thoroughly and precisely. The requirements document they produced was detailed enough that our QA team used it directly to write acceptance criteria. Every user story had a defined business objective attached. Nothing was left to interpretation. That discipline in the requirements phase paid dividends throughout development and testing.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
Communication was proactive, timely, and appropriately calibrated. Technical updates for the engineering audience, executive summaries for the steering group, risk flags with proposed mitigations rather than just problem statements. The fortnightly sprint reviews gave our stakeholders visibility without requiring them to attend every working session.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
On time and within the approved budget. The estimation accuracy was notable — they had broken the work down in sufficient detail during discovery that their forecast proved reliable throughout, rather than being a number that shifted with every change in scope. We received one change request and it was for scope we had introduced ourselves.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
Quantifying the impact precisely is complicated by other variables in our business, but the metrics we can attribute directly to the Blockchain Development work are meaningful: session duration up, conversion rate up, error rate down, and our NPS for the digital touchpoint has improved by eleven points. Our account managers report that the new capability is coming up positively in client conversations.
What did you like most about working with this company?
The willingness to be direct. When our requirements were unclear they said so. When our priorities were contradictory they explained why. When a technical approach we had assumed was the right one turned out to have significant downsides, they told us before we had committed to it. That kind of intellectual honesty is what I look for in a long-term technology partner.
Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?
Yes, without reservation. I have already made two direct referrals within my Sports & Fitness network — in both cases to peers facing Blockchain Development challenges similar to ours. I gave those referrals with confidence because I knew the experience I described was reproducible, not the result of exceptional circumstances on our engagement.

FAQs

What are the actual contract options if I want to work with Rize Design?
Most companies structured like Rize Design give you a choice between a fixed-price contract, a dedicated team arrangement, or time-and-materials billing, so you can pick whichever lines up with your budget and how well-defined your scope already is.

Will Rize Design sign an NDA before we even discuss the project in detail?
Most professional shops, including Rize Design, expect to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before getting into specifics — it's a fairly standard ask and a reasonable one to make before sharing anything sensitive. For context, its listed capabilities span Branding, E-commerce Development, Internet Marketing, Mobile App Development and SEO, and it has experience across industries such as Logistics & Supply Chain, Advertising & Marketing, Sports & Fitness, Fashion & Apparel, Human Resources and Real Estate.
What happens with Rize Design after the project actually launches?
Like most established software teams, Rize Design typically sticks around post-launch for ongoing maintenance — bug fixes, performance tuning, security patching, new feature work, and general technical support. For context, its listed capabilities span Branding, E-commerce Development, Internet Marketing, Mobile App Development and SEO, and it has served clients in Australia.
What makes Rize Design worth considering over other options?
What tends to set Rize Design apart usually comes down to some mix of technical depth, relevant industry experience, how clients describe working with them, their development approach, communication habits, and whether they can actually deliver something that scales. Founded in 2013, the company has built a track record of delivering projects across various industries.
Can I just hire developers from Rize Design to sit alongside my own team?
Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like Rize Design, where you get engineers working exclusively on your project as an extension of your in-house team rather than as a separate outsourced unit. For context, its listed capabilities span Branding, E-commerce Development, Internet Marketing, Mobile App Development and SEO, and it has experience across industries such as Logistics & Supply Chain, Advertising & Marketing, Sports & Fitness, Fashion & Apparel, Human Resources and Real Estate.
Is Rize Design more of an offshore setup or a local team?
That depends on where Rize Design is based and who they primarily serve — some firms like this operate fully offshore, some are local-first, and plenty run a hybrid model that mixes both. For context, it has served clients in Australia, and it has been operating since 2013.
Has Rize Design actually shipped a SaaS product before?
It's a common line of work for a company like Rize Design — multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing hooked up properly, and cloud-native deployment built for a product meant to scale as a service rather than a one-off build. For context, it has experience across industries such as Logistics & Supply Chain, Advertising & Marketing, Sports & Fitness, Fashion & Apparel, Human Resources and Real Estate, and it reports a team size of 10 - 49 professionals.
What's the easiest way to actually get in touch with Rize Design?
Most businesses reach Rize Design through its website, a direct email, or a contact form — any of which works for discussing what you need, booking an initial conversation, or asking for a rough estimate. For context, it has experience across industries such as Logistics & Supply Chain, Advertising & Marketing, Sports & Fitness, Fashion & Apparel, Human Resources and Real Estate, and its listed capabilities span Branding, E-commerce Development, Internet Marketing, Mobile App Development and SEO.
How do I actually get a real proposal out of Rize Design instead of a generic reply?
The most reliable route is giving Rize Design a clear, specific brief up front — through their website form, a direct email, or a call — since a vague ask tends to get a vague answer back, while a concrete one usually gets a proper estimate. For context, it has experience across industries such as Logistics & Supply Chain, Advertising & Marketing, Sports & Fitness, Fashion & Apparel, Human Resources and Real Estate, and its typical hourly rate is around N/A.
