The situation
CRU wanted a software-led product that would reach a broader range of customers without eroding margin, in a fast-moving, data-heavy market where commodity costs interact in complex ways.
What we did
- Detailed scoping of the product's contours and of the data it could leverage.
- Commercial analysis in parallel, producing three implementation options.
- UX and UI mapping, an enhanced Figma prototype, and a scalable, dev-ready build.
What changed
A fully functional prototype in five calendar weeks that could be tested in-market for interest and commercial impact. It won internal support to proceed to an MVP, and development could start with minimal further planning.
In their words
“They provided us a significant shortcut towards vital innovation for the wider business”
