How we work.
Why we work.

The way we work with our customers is key to the success of the software products and IT solutions we create with them. Every detail of a product is vital to its effectiveness, so we work with you from inception to implementation, never cutting corners. We don’t finish until it’s right. We call this approach Smart Factory.

Our Smart Factory Principles

Building bespoke solutions needs a certain mindset and a love for what you do. These six principles provide a framework that guides our approach to every project.

Finishing quality

We finish what we start, delivering what we say we will, on time, every time. No excuses.

Details matter

We don’t cut corners and we love to get into the dirty details of a project to make sure it succeeds.

Always accountable

We own the projects we work on, taking full accountability for their outcomes, always meeting the brief.

Change ready

We only build products that match agreed outcomes and that can cope with ongoing dynamic change.

Human first

We make sure the right people are always in the room across our clients and internally at CID.

Interdisciplinary

We embrace the unconventional, forging teams that fuse ideas to create unique products.

Smart ideas come from connecting humans with technology.

Our success is built on the relationships we have with our customers. So all our partnerships begin by fusing your ideas with ours at a workshop session. These can be held online, or in-person at a location that’s convenient for you.
