Dedicated AI Engineering Team Deployed in Under 2 Weeks, Still Running 24 Months Later - Shape Digital

Shape Digital needed to build a sophisticated AI monitoring and analytics product for some of the most demanding industrial environments, sectors where downtime is measured in millions and data reliability is non-negotiable. Their core problem was speed-to-quality: they needed senior engineers who could contribute from week one, without the typical ramp-up overhead of traditional hiring. Finding AI engineers with both the technical depth and the communication standards required for a long-term product partnership proved difficult through conventional channels.

InApps deployed a dedicated AI development team, fully embedded into Shape Digital's product workflow. The team was operational and contributing within under 2 weeks of engagement start, covering AI model development, data pipeline architecture, and real-time monitoring system delivery. Rather than a fixed-scope contract, the engagement was structured as a true product partnership: InApps engineers attended planning cycles, contributed to roadmap decisions, and scaled the team as product complexity grew. Over 24+ months, the scope expanded continuously as trust deepened.
