Do you need to build or evolve a digital solution?

Before hiring another developer for your team, ask whether you need the role… or the result.

Cardyram connects your company with a Forward Deployed Engineer who understands the business and coordinates the engineering capacity needed to deliver a defined project or continuously evolve your digital products.

One technical counterpart

You do not manage six specialties. You work with one FDE responsible for moving the problem to the result.

The FDE works directly with your company's operating context, turns business needs into concrete solutions, makes the proposal visible through prototypes, and coordinates the technical capacity required to build it.

One capacity · two ways to work

Choose how you want to turn your needs into software.

Some companies need to solve a specific initiative. Others need a technology capacity that evolves continuously with the business. Cardyram operates under both models.

Cardyram Project

A concrete solution with defined scope, investment and deliverables.

Approved prototype
Established scope
Total price
Advance payment based on size and risk
Balance through milestones or instalments
Agreed delivery and handover
Choose Project if…
  • You have an identified initiative.
  • You need to know the total price.
  • You have a target date.
  • You can define what completion looks like.

Cardyram Embedded FDE

Continuous technology capacity to evolve products and processes.

Dynamic backlog
Incremental prototype
Periodic prioritization
Monthly fee
Reserved capacity
Continuous delivery
Choose Embedded FDE if…
  • Your priorities change regularly.
  • You have several processes to improve.
  • You need to evolve existing products.
  • You would rather not hire and coordinate different profiles.
  • You prefer a continuous monthly capacity.

Embedded FDE reserves technology capacity managed and prioritized by Cardyram. Delivery depends on the contracted capacity, the complexity and the agreed priorities.

Not sure? Select that option when you contact us and an FDE will assess which model fits best.

A different business decision

You do not always need to expand your team to obtain a new software capability.

Internal hiring

Recruiting several different profiles
Salaries, benefits and tooling
Onboarding
Splitting responsibilities across roles
Permanent technical coordination
Capacity tied to individual roles

Cardyram FDE

A single technical point of contact
Coordinated multidisciplinary capacity
Prototype-first
Project or Embedded engagement
Less management load on the client
Accountability concentrated on the outcome
Method

See it. Correct it. Approve it. Then we build it.

And if your business keeps evolving, the prototype evolves with it.

Before investing in the full build, Cardyram turns business decisions into a visible experience. In Project, the prototype bounds the approved scope. In Embedded FDE, it becomes an incremental reference that grows with every new capability.
In ProjectThe approved prototype defines the product that will be built.
In Embedded FDEEach new need is prototyped, validated and prioritized before it enters the product.
The prototype defines the visible functional experience, and is complemented by business rules, integrations and acceptance criteria.

We remove hiring steps. We do not remove understanding steps.

For initiatives of controlled scope, Cardyram Project can target a first working delivery in around a month. When the needs are continuous, Embedded FDE maintains an incremental cycle of prioritization, validation and delivery.

One method, adapted to each engagement

Shared core

Understand

We understand the problem, the process and the expected outcome.

Prototype

We turn the decisions into a visible solution.

Validate

You confirm the experience, the rules and the priorities.

Project

Build

We build the approved scope.

Deliver

We test, deploy and hand over what was agreed.

Embedded FDE

Prioritize

We organize the next increment within the backlog.

Build & Deliver

We build, test and release progressively.

Evolve

We take on the next need and repeat the cycle.

Private proposal

We do not start with a generic quotation.

We show what we understood, what we propose and what it would look like before asking you to commit to the full build.

Why it works

Four design decisions that reduce project risk.

🧩

Operational understanding

The work starts from the real business process, not from a generic list of technologies.

📐

Visible solution

The prototype lets you review the experience before investing in building it in full.

🔄

Traceable decisions

Versions, rules and acceptance criteria reduce differing interpretations. You review and correct the prototype during the agreed validation stage.

🔀

Adaptable capacity

The client can engage a defined outcome or a continuous evolution, depending on the nature of the need.

These practices reduce technical surprises, rework and scope disagreements during the build.
Simple closing

Once everything is clear, closing is short.
