Agile software development
When change is the only constant and requirements shift mid-sprint, you need a partner who can truly keep pace. As an Agile software development company, we help you adapt fast, ship often, and build with confidence at every turn. Because we don’t just follow Agile; we turn it into peace of mind, from planning to production.
Why Agile?
While plan-driven development works well for projects with a defined scope, Agile software development shines when you can’t outline every feature or anticipate every market shift. Below are the most common scenarios where Agile brings more efficiency and value than Waterfall.
Found something that applies to your project? This might just be the right methodology for it.
Problem: Unclear project scope
Agile allows teams to swiftly adapt to changes in scope and requirements, even in the late stages of development.
Problem: Unexpected changes to the project scope
Even with a clear list of features, the market can change overnight. Agile development services give the ability to adapt to it quickly and rapidly deliver relevant functional software, even if you need to rebuild it from the core.
Problem: The project has complex requirements
Agile encourages experimentation and iteration. Prototypes and early feedback give you more room to explore options and make informed decisions.
Problem: The project is unique and not based on an existing concept
With Agile, you can confidently build the unknown by testing assumptions early, gathering feedback often, and evolving the product as the vision becomes clearer.
From my experience in delivering projects, Agile can be a lifeline if used correctly.
When your project goes through dozens of iterations, needs to change quickly, or you’re experimenting with new features, Agile becomes a powerful tool for faster iteration and for finding that perfect software formula everyone’s chasing.
Agile can also be particularly helpful when requirements change frequently or when a critical bug arises in production. Additionally, Agile methodologies integrate well with traditional waterfall approaches, providing extra opportunities for tracking time, scope, and budget.”

Industries Vention boosts with Agile
As an Agile development company, we’ve successfully implemented Agile in hundreds of projects across all major industries.
For fintech companies, quickly adapting to market trends and demands means retaining existing customers and acquiring new ones. With Agile application development services, you can not only keep up with the market but also set trends, roll out features your competitors are still drafting, and demonstrate a truly smooth customer experience.
Take StoneX, for example. By trusting Vention’s Agile team with their mobile applications and web solution, they saved 64 days of testing per release and gained the ability to process up to 20 million daily inquiries. As a result, StoneX expanded globally and acquired more than 32,000 clients across 180 countries.
Healthcare companies use Agile to build medical devices and apps that may need quick updates and testing. It helps them stay on top of ever-changing regulations and be ready to pass any test or approval required for continued innovation.
One of our clients used Scrum to build several web platforms, aiming for better project visibility and streamlined delivery. The results went even further: we achieved 100 percent alignment between user needs and delivered functionality.
Delivering value to the customer is the main focus of Agile, and that’s what ecommerce businesses love most. Through iterations and collaboration, you can bring features to market faster, reduce churn, and raise customer satisfaction.
From data analytics and CRM to integrating IoT and AI into property management, Agile is a great way to test hypotheses and how solution concepts work in an adaptive and cost-efficient way.
Our client struggled with frequent delays and limited visibility across their web and mobile projects. How did they solve it? They brought in Vention to rethink their project management approach. By implementing Scrumban, we helped the team release on time, improve task ownership, and boost overall performance, all while handling user requests more efficiently.
What makes a great edtech company? Refined CRM pipelines, great value offerings, and a variety of features that provide accessibility and customization to the educational process. With Agile software development services, you can get all that and even more through iterative software development and constant feedback loops.
Example: Avallain is an award-winning Swiss provider of edtech solutions that has been working to improve access to quality education since 2002. To scale its technical setup, the company turned to Vention. With a focus on UX and security, we optimized its ecosystem to boost productivity for millions of users worldwide.
And it paid off: our collaboration later expanded to include projects for top-tier clients like National Geographic Learning and Oxford University Press.
In marketing, adaptability is survival. You (and your clients) continuously need new features, dashboards, and integrations. And to deliver all that on time and budget, martech companies turn to Agile.
Just like Merkle, a data-driven marketing agency looking to expand its digital offerings to keep up with trends and client demands. With Vention’s Agile approach, the team could easily manage uncertainty and deliver time-sensitive projects.
The outcome was the successful launch of over 150,000 campaigns, generating more than $1B in value, and a significantly strengthened customer engagement strategy that secured Merkle’s position as a market leader.
Logistics and transportation
Logistics dashboards, warehouse management, route planning, predictive maintenance, and risk management — logistics companies have many moving parts that can quickly become inefficient or outdated if not properly developed and maintained.
Sperry Rail, for example, needed to upgrade its data management and rail analysis tool when it could no longer deliver the user experience or smooth operations they required.
We conducted timely product discovery, quickly identifying inefficiencies and mapping out solutions. The company got a refreshed interface, improved application performance, and faster delivery without operational disruption.
From simple vehicle control dashboards to assisted and autonomous driving, automotive companies must ensure that updates don’t interfere with critical functionality. The best way to achieve that is through continuous testing and feedback loops during short iteration cycles.
A great use case is one of our clients hitting a blocker: their old processes couldn’t keep up. They turned to Vention, and we introduced sprints, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives. As a result, they achieved a 20 percent boost in productivity and accelerated their time-to-market, paving the way for stronger software and a successful entry into the automotive space.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing businesses rely on speed and reliability. Whether it’s a predictive maintenance system or a simple stock management tool, Agile enables early validation so you can be confident the solution will improve operations before committing major resources.
HR
Human resources is the heartbeat of any organization, as bringing in new talent and retaining top specialists is key to staying competitive. Agile helps HR teams streamline their tools and processes, from dashboard features and workflow automation to smart assistants that reduce time to hire.
Our client, Thomas International, saw the impact of our Agile expertise firsthand. While modernizing their legacy system, we rolled out six essential refinements in just nine months, compared to just one update per year before with a different vendor.

Do you have certified Agile professionals like Scrum Masters or Product Owners on your team?
Yes! Vention Agile specialists have Scrum Master I, II, and similar certifications.
How do you handle projects where the client is new to Agile practices?
If a client is new to Agile, we start by briefly introducing the methodology and how it differs from traditional approaches like Waterfall. Then, we walk through how Agile would apply to the client’s specific project and outline expected outcomes. Once the project begins, our team provides ongoing guidance and support if required.
What tools do you use to manage sprints and track progress?
We use tools that prioritize transparency, collaboration, and ease of use.
