Challenge

Zilch set an ambitious goal: launch a fully compliant digital wallet in just four months. Innovify was tasked with building the platform from the ground up, fast, secure, and ready for scale.

The project came with critical technical and compliance requirements:

  • PCI DSS certification and FCA approval, ensuring full regulatory compliance
  • Ultra-low latency transactions under 250 milliseconds, delivering a seamless user experience.
  • Successful integration of multiple third-party APIs, including GPS, Xero, and CashFlows

The solution is cloud-native, API-first, and built for scalability, enabling Zilch to launch confidently and expand across the UK market. With compliance-by-design and optimized architecture, the product is ready for rapid growth.

Zeru Earth needed a customer-friendly digital platform capable of supporting its financial and sustainability workflows.

The idea was defined, but technical capacity was limited. To meet user expectations and mission goals, the platform had to be:

  • easy to navigate,
  • fast to prototype,
  • scientifically credible,
  • and ready for rapid MVP launch.

They required expertise to conceptualise the product, design a scalable architecture, and deliver a flawless MVP under time and budget constraints.

Key Objectives

  • Discover and conceptualize a user-friendly fintech product
  • Build and deliver an MVP at accelerated speed
  • Create supporting infrastructure for sustainable commerce flows
  • Provide ongoing development and QA throughout the lifecycle
  • Deploy a dedicated team capable of rapid scaling

Solution

Innovify began with a comprehensive discovery workshop to define scope, align stakeholders, and anticipate technical challenges. A dedicated delivery team was assembled to ensure speed and precision throughout the build.
