How we work
We don’t start with software, we start with your challenge
Every Perigord engagement follows a proven, seven-step path. A discovery workshop maps how your journey really works, through design, prototyping and integration, then a managed solution we run and optimise with you. No rigid platform to complicate your processes. No big-bang project to survive.
Why the method matters
Rigid platforms make you adapt, Perigord adapts to you
Most communication platforms are built one way, and every client bends their process to fit. That works until your journey is regulated, your customers are diverse, your systems are layered from years of change.
Perigord works the other way around. We build the solution around how your organisation actually operates: your regulatory obligations, your legacy systems, your customer cohorts, your teams. We do that without the risk that usually comes with bespoke work – structured, staged, evidenced, and signed off at every step.
Our process
The seven steps of every engagement
Who’s involved: your stakeholders across every relevant function. The people who run the process today know where it really breaks, and their concerns become design requirements, not obstacles.
Working with us
An extension of your team, not an external vendor
Clients consistently tell us the same thing: working with Perigord doesn’t feel like managing a supplier. Our team embeds with yours, operations, compliance, IT and customer service. We guide you through every step, communicating in plain language, adapting to your governance, and staying accountable from the first workshop to the latest optimisation review.
We wanted a best-in-class onboarding platform that brokers would genuinely engage with. Perigord built it with design and performance at the core and delivered with excellence.

Clear terms, agreed
before we start
Every engagement is scoped with explicit commercial terms,
so there are no surprises at contract stage
Want evidence before you commit? Start smaller
Not ready for a full engagement? Two lighter entry points exist:
Built before discovery, a focused demonstration against a sample of your real problem (with synthetic data), so your stakeholders can see the capability working before committing to anything.
Delivers the journey map and quantified business case as a standalone piece of work. Some clients use it to build the internal case for change; the output is yours either way.
Step one takes 45 minutes
A discovery session is the front door to everything above: one conversation about your most challenging journey, and a clear view of what modernising it would involve and return. Your process, mapped by people who’ve done this in regulated environments many times before.
