What Is bad tech?
What Is bad tech?
Some may think we’re putting our out-of-the-box technology partners on blast, but we’re not. “Bad tech” is what occurs when gaps exist between technologies in an organization’s tech stack, often the result of implementing multiple technology solutions, each designed to solve one specific problem in an organization’s workflow.
At Sigma Solve, we eliminate these gaps by developing custom-tailored technology solutions to help you exceed your business objectives. Additionally, we’ve developed foundational building blocks specifically designed for both brokers and carriers. These adaptable blueprints are customizable to fit your specific needs and accelerate the building phase. If a necessary building block is missing, we create it from scratch, ensuring it integrates flawlessly with your processes. Here’s how it works:
#NoMoreBadTech
1
UNDERSTANDING YOU
Before we write one line of code, we take the time to get to know you and your business – what you do and how you make money – including your workflows, your processes and your goals, as well as what’s standing in the way of those goals
Our consultative approach is designed to evaluate your technology, identify any gaps and architect a custom-tailored tech stack that maximizes your business. We look to both custom technology solutions as well as off-the-shelf solutions that will work together to get the job done. Our number one objective is to identify where technology will make your business stronger, smoother and significantly more efficient.
And since we regularly work with transportation and logistics companies, you’ll spend less time explaining your business and more time benefitting from our proven design strategies and solutions.

CRAFTING A PROOF
OF CONCEPT
With a clear understanding of your business processes, workflows and needs, we design a tech stack that’s right for you, potentially including a proof of concept to demonstrate the effectiveness of a recommended custom solution. This initial version allows us to observe the functionality in real time, make necessary adjustments, and set the foundation for further development.

BRINGING YOUR
SOLUTION TO LIFE
Once your proof of concept is approved, we roll up our sleeves and get to work. Our technology experts will collaborate with your leadership team to build a solution that not only meets the needs of your current reality, but is also scalable for future growth. Throughout the building phase, we will maintain open and responsive communication, ensuring your final product aligns perfectly with your vision.

LAUNCHING
YOUR TECH
Launching your custom technology solution can feel overwhelming, but don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. To ensure a successful rollout, we provide a proven onboarding experience designed to gain buy-in and quick adoption from your team.
Our experienced implementation team will manage every aspect of the launch, from the initial deployment to the full-scale operation of your custom tech solution, making the transition smooth and enjoyable.
5
ONGOING SUPPORT
AND MAINTENANCE
Unlike most custom tech shops, our involvement doesn’t end when we launch your technology solution. As you take your new tech out for a spin, we will be riding shotgun, providing comprehensive support to ensure your tech performs optimally while you get used to the additional horsepower.
Depending on the project’s size and complexity, we offer support and maintenance between 6 and 12 months at no additional cost. Our team will always be ready to assist and provide answers to any questions that come up, ensuring your investment continues to deliver value for the long haul.
