Building success stories from the ground up
Menlo started out as a software company, and that's still our primary focus. But that's not all we do. As word about us has spread, an increasing number of visitors have come to see what we're all about and how we incorporate joy into everything we do. Today, in addition to designing and building software, we also offer tours and workshops, do speaking engagements, and consult with companies who want to revamp their processes, or incorporate aspects of The Menlo Way™ into their own culture. You'll find our imprint across a wide range of industries, including healthcare, financial services, education, and manufacturing.
We've been developing custom software since 2001, and there's not a lot we haven't done. To start a conversation with us about your software project, please email us at info@menloinnovations.com.
You can learn a lot at Menlo. But if coming here isn't an option, we can bring the lessons, the perspective, and the inspiration to you.
Menlo can't adequately be explained in words, though many of our visitors try. When they can't, they return with their colleagues. All are welcome.
It's exactly as it sounds. We study end users in their native habitat. Every interaction your end users have with technology provides us with invaluable information.
Our culture can be positively perplexing to outsiders...and altogether inspiring. People leave wanting to know how they can create something similar. We want that for them, too, and we can facilitate that.
It's not always obvious where the problem lies or how to fix it. Fresh eyes mean a fresh perspective. We can help.
Bringing Delight
We pursue joy.
Bringing Delight
We clear away obstacles that keep us from delivering delight.
Freedom Through Tyranny
The way we work is so clear and unambiguous that we don't need managers.
Freedom Through Tyranny
In our world, people know who they are working with, what they are working on, and what order they're going to work on it. Once that's established, you're free to pursue the work that you love without anyone hanging over your shoulder.
Transparency & Control
The writing's on the wall. Literally.
Transparency & Control
We avoid the plague of 'out-of-sight, out-of-mind' by managing every project on our work authorization boards. Direct, predictable, visual structures hold everyone accountable. We use simple systems for complex projects.
Quality First & Last
We escape the late-stage integration crunch.
Quality First & Last
Menlo developers write the tests before they write the production code to be tested. We also do paired programming - increasing quality and attention to detail particularly in cases of pressure, stress, and fatigue.
