Spike: Where retail tech flow and testing meet creativity

 

We know what it’s like running retail tech under pressure. You’re balancing legacy platforms with modern tech, constant change and trading deadlines – while trying to keep systems stable and teams productive. When testing becomes a bottleneck or risk stays hidden, everything slows down.

Spike provide testing-led assurance and clear, evidence-based guidance to expose quality, shape delivery cadence and support confident go-live decisions. We help you remove friction from tech change, reduce risk at peak, and move forward with certainty – without last-minute chaos.
