Sidebench

Sidebench was founded around a simple principle: interesting work for interesting people.

We are a services company that specializes in providing elegant user-centered technology solutions and products for our clients. We work with existing businesses and new ventures alike across a wide variety of industries to strategically solve business problems and craft intelligent digital products and systems of all kinds. We are one part technology consultant, one part management consultant, and one part creative studio.

We pride ourselves on being flexible and building custom products, as we are firm believers that technology should be applied on a case-by-case basis to fit the functional needs of the situation and not the other way around. Whether the eventual product is built for web, native mobile, or a platform somewhere in between, the initial steps of each engagement are the same. We develop a comprehensive understanding of the issues and pains at hand, the goals for the product, the needs of users and administrators of the system, and all business drivers and constraints before working with you to decide on the ideal approach. We are solutions partners, helping guide your organization in a direction that aligns business and technology goals for the long-term and ensuring smooth sailing as your business grows.

Our approach to building products is strongly anchored in user-centered design. In the case of business systems, far too many products have been developed without placing the user’s needs first, and we believe that the best investment you can make is in your people; your company’s technology should enable rather than encumber your workforce. Digital applications should fit the way teams work best, be accessible through a variety of devices (mobile, tablet, desktop, etc.), and provide an intuitive and friendly user experience, creating greater efficiencies and allowing your team to spend less time on tasks and processes that should be automated and painless and spend more time improving and growing your business.
