Helping a global leader in nondestructive testing solutions drive their data to better efficiency
The Virtual Forge was approached by Magnaflux to make recommendations around their Power BI reporting on global financial data. As the global leader in non-destructive testing, Magnaflux have been a part of the world’s progress helping develop safer parts for cars, jet liners and infrastructures.
Start with what needs proving. Then build enough to prove it.
We do not begin by asking how many screens you want or which AI tools we should use. We start with the decision you are trying to make.
There has always been value in prototyping before a major build. The challenge was the effort.
AI has changed that: ideas that once took weeks can now be made tangible in days.
01 - Define what needs proving
What is the opportunity, who is it for, and what business outcome are you trying to create? Which assumptions would have to be true for the idea to succeed, and what evidence would give the organisation enough confidence to invest? We focus the prototype around those questions.
02 - Understand the experience
We examine the users, context, workflows and journeys that matter most. That gives the prototype enough UX thinking and structure to test the real proposition rather than simply demonstrate attractive screens.
03 - Bring it to life
Our UX/UI designers and front-end engineers use AI-assisted workflows to turn the concept into a branded, interactive software experience. The objective is enough realism and functionality to make the important questions testable, without adding production complexity that does not help answer them.
04 - Test the assumptions
Put the prototype in front of the people who matter: customers, employees, operational teams, executives, investors. See what makes sense and what does not. Gather feedback and challenge the assumptions behind the idea.
05 - Decide what happens next
Turn what has been learned into a clearer decision. If the opportunity is strong, you can move forward with greater confidence. If it is not, you have learned that before making the much larger investment.
AI makes prototyping faster. Expertise makes it useful.
