What a POC is
A Proof of Concept (POC) is a hands-on demonstration that verifies whether an idea, product, or service is viable.
It’s not just a buzzword for startups, but a feasibility study for an idea in its early stages, aimed at confirming its credibility and readiness for the target market.
​
The POC is essential for testing, improving, and proving the value of a concept before moving on to full development, starting from identifying real needs, through the development of a basic prototype, to the creation of a minimal working version of the product.
What is it for
For startups and new business ideas, creating a Proof of Concept (POC) has a fundamental strategic value. It allows you to test and validate concepts with a minimum investment of time and resources, reducing risks, improving the product and ensuring that it truly meets market needs.
The POC is essential in the acceleration phases of startups. It aims to increase the maturity level of the idea, measured by the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) scale, thus bringing the startup closer to the market launch phase.
​
A Proof of Concept (POC) in software serves to:
-
Define Initial Requirements: Identify the objectives, OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) of the project.
-
Establish the Action Flow: Define the actions necessary for the success of the project.
-
Detailed Documentation: Create documentation that covers the entire process, from the main features to development and subsequent deployment.

HOW
READY-TO-GO POC
WORKS
STEP 1
Briefing
Get ready for a full immersion with the NRGsys team to analyze the starting material for the creation of your POC. Together we will identify variables and specific needs, complexity and production times.
OUTPUT​
-
READY TO GO POC feasibility check: If the high-level requirements are present and complete, we are ready to go!
-
Final POC value definition: Exact quote for the realization of the POC based on the agreed activities.
​​
STEP 3
Design UX-UI
At this stage, you will be able to see exactly how your application will look and approve the design. Once you are satisfied and have approved the key screens, we extend the design to the remaining screens. This approach ensures a consistent and intuitive design that is aligned with your expectations.
OUTPUT
-
Application layout: Creating the layout of the application's main screens.
-
User Experience (UX): Design the user experience to be intuitive and fluid, making it easy to interact with the product.
-
User Interface (UI): Define the visual appearance (colors, typography and graphic elements that reflect your brand identity).
STEP 5
Testing & QA
This phase is very important to ensure that the product is stable, functional and ready for use.
OUTPUT
-
Quality Control: Involves a series of tests to identify and correct any bugs.
-
Functionality Verification: Confirm that all features are working properly.
-
End-Use Preparation: Ensure that the app is ready to be used by end users.
STEP 2
Detailed design
Now your initial idea can be translated into a concrete and actionable plan. This step is crucial to ensure that the project is ready to become a real and functioning application, reducing risks and optimizing resources.
OUTPUT
-
Functional Specifications: Exact definition of the features.
-
Technical Architecture: Choice of technologies and definition of the system architecture.
-
Implementation Plan: Creation of a detailed plan for the product's development.
STEP 4
Code implementation
Once your application design is completed and approved, we begin the implementation phase.
OUTPUT
-
Progressive Development: We develop features incrementally.
-
Progressive Deliveries: We deliver modules to you as they are developed.
-
Continuous Feedback: Your feedback is essential to make adjustments and improvements in real time.
STEP 6
Deploy
At this stage the POC is made available for use.
OUTPUT
-
Environment Preparation: Setting up the infrastructure needed to host the POC, such as servers, databases, and cloud services.
-
Code Installation: Uploading the source code to the production environment.
-
Configuration and Integration: Making sure that all the components of the system are properly configured and integrated with each other.
-
Verification of Operation: Final testing to ensure that the POC works properly in the production environment.
Services not included in READY TO GO POC:
-
Hosting and Maintenance: Not included in the package.
-
Later Development: Post-POC expansions or modifications not included.
-
Software Licenses: Third-party licenses not included.
