Discovery
Requirements, users, constraints, and measures of success.
About
Engineering-led. Built around execution.
Pippa Consulting & Operations Services is the consulting practice of Pippa LLC. We started by building and running our own software products, and now bring that experience to public agencies and businesses.
Our story
From our own products to yours
Our team designs, builds, launches, and operates its own production software, including a health care platform used by clinicians and patients on iOS, Android, and the web.
Running our own products taught us what most consultancies only advise on: shipping to app stores, handling sensitive data responsibly, keeping systems up, and supporting real users every day. Clients get that same discipline, applied to their requirements.
We are deliberately small. Clients work directly with the engineers responsible for their project, from the first conversation through long-term support.
