Tell us the problem. We start every Bespoke engagement with a scoping conversation that gets to the actual business question being asked, what data exists to answer it, and what the right technical approach is. If it's solvable — and most business intelligence problems are — we'll tell you how. If it isn't, or if an existing solution would do the job without custom development, we'll tell you that too.

It depends entirely on complexity. A custom executive dashboard built on existing data connections typically takes two to four weeks. A dynamic pricing engine or omnichannel reporting framework with multiple data source integrations runs six to twelve weeks. Predictive modeling projects with significant data preparation requirements take longer. We scope precisely at the start so you have a realistic timeline before development begins.

Yes, and it's often the preferred model. We bring the ecommerce domain expertise and the build capacity; your internal team brings the business context and the long-term ownership. We document everything to a standard that makes handoff and ongoing maintenance straightforward, and we can train your team on the tools we build rather than creating a dependency on us for every update.

Bespoke Solutions sits on the same data infrastructure as the rest of Catapult, meaning the data connections, pipeline architecture, and source integrations that power Retail Hub, Media Hub, and Portfolio AI are also available as inputs to custom builds. You're not starting from scratch with each bespoke engagement; you're extending an existing data foundation rather than rebuilding it.
