Question 1

What is Marviy?

Accepted Answer

Marviy is the Software Factory for business — a platform that takes a business problem as input and produces deployed, working software as output. Describe what you need in plain English, approve the design, and receive working software in days. Based in Singapore, we serve clients globally.

Question 2

What does ‘Software Factory’ mean?

Accepted Answer

Every industry eventually industrialises. Marviy industrialises software production. Like a factory, every project runs through the same structured process: you describe the problem, we design the system, you approve it, we build it with full visibility, and you own the result. Predictable, transparent, and automated — with your approval at every stage.

Question 3

How is Marviy different from a traditional dev agency?

Accepted Answer

Traditional agencies rely on large teams working sequentially — 3–6 months, high cost, limited visibility. Marviy delivers working software in days at 60–80% lower cost, with live progress visible in your Situation Room and your explicit approval required at every milestone. You see exactly what’s being built, in plain English, at all times.

Question 4

How is Marviy different from AI coding tools like Lovable or Bolt?

Accepted Answer

AI coding tools generate code — but deployment, testing, security, and operations are on you. Marviy handles everything from design to deployment. You get working software, not just code. Full quality assurance, human approval gates, and all code and IP transferred to you on delivery.

Question 5

Is Marviy a real company?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Marviy Pte Ltd is a registered company in Singapore (UEN: 202014065D). We serve clients across Southeast Asia, the US, and Europe.

Question 6

What is the factory process?

Accepted Answer

Five stages: (1) You Describe — tell ARIA your business problem in plain English; (2) ARIA Designs — your problem is translated into a complete System Blueprint with components, users, and workflow; (3) Built in Parallel — all components are built simultaneously, visible in your Situation Room; (4) You Approve — at every gate, you review and sign off before the next stage begins; (5) Delivered to You — working software, fully deployed, with all code and IP transferred.

Question 7

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Visit marviy.com/start and tell ARIA about your business problem. ARIA will ask a few questions to understand what you need, then generate an Instant System Blueprint showing exactly what will be built. Create a free account and your full proposal — with pricing and timeline — will be ready in minutes. No commitment required.

Question 8

What is ARIA?

Accepted Answer

ARIA is Marviy’s intake advisor. ARIA conducts a short conversation to understand your business problem, then designs your System Blueprint. ARIA is always available during your build to answer questions about status, decisions, and next steps.

Question 9

What is a System Blueprint?

Accepted Answer

Your System Blueprint is the complete design for your software — every component, every user type, every workflow step — shown in plain English before anything is built. You approve the blueprint before the build begins. It’s your guarantee that we’re building exactly what you need.

Question 10

What is the Situation Room?

Accepted Answer

Your Situation Room is the live control centre for your build. You see every milestone, every progress update, and every approval gate — in plain language, not technical logs. Nothing advances without your sign-off. It’s full visibility, from first line to final delivery.

Question 11

How long does a typical project take?

Accepted Answer

Most projects are delivered in days, not months. A typical Customer Systems project completes in 9 days. Starter projects can complete faster. Scale and Enterprise projects may take longer — your proposal shows the exact timeline before you commit.

Question 12

What are approval gates?

Accepted Answer

Every Marviy build has 5 human approval gates. At each gate, you review what’s been built and sign off before the next phase begins. Nothing ships without your explicit approval. Gate 5 is yours — no public deployment happens until you’ve tested the product and approved it.

Question 13

What types of software does Marviy build?

Accepted Answer

Four categories cover most business software needs: (1) Operations Automation — replace manual workflows and spreadsheets; (2) Customer Portals — give customers visibility and self-service; (3) Business Dashboards — real-time visibility across your operations; (4) Compliance Systems — automated regulatory workflows and audit trails. Don’t see your use case? Describe it to ARIA — we build any business system.

Question 14

Can you show me examples?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Browse 22 real business examples at marviy.com/showcase — each started with a plain-English description and resulted in working software. You can also watch a complete 9-day build journal at marviy.com/demo to see exactly what happens from problem to delivery.

Question 15

Do you build mobile apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build web applications, mobile apps, internal tools, dashboards, portals, and automation systems. If it’s business software, we build it.

Question 16

Can you integrate with our existing systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly integrate with existing databases, CRMs, payment processors, authentication providers, and legacy systems. Describe your integration needs to ARIA and they’ll be included in your System Blueprint.

Question 17

Do I need a requirements document to get started?

Accepted Answer

No. Just describe your business problem to ARIA in plain English — no technical spec, no PRD, no formal document needed. If you do have a requirements document (PDF or DOCX), you can upload it at marviy.com/start and we’ll analyse it automatically.

Question 18

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Every project is priced individually based on scope and complexity — not hourly rates. You receive a detailed proposal with a clear breakdown before any commitment. The price is fixed at acceptance. Milestone-based payments — you pay as we deliver. No surprises, no scope creep invoiced after the fact.

Question 19

How much does a typical project cost?

Accepted Answer

Projects range from $5,000 to $150,000+ depending on scope. Starter projects (single-purpose tools) start at $5K–$15K. Growth projects (multi-feature systems) range $15K–$50K. Scale and Enterprise projects are priced individually. Your proposal shows the exact cost before you commit.

Question 20

Why is it 60–80% cheaper than traditional agencies?

Accepted Answer

The factory model eliminates the coordination overhead, idle time, and sequential bottlenecks of traditional agency delivery. Components are built in parallel, quality is built into the process, and you get production software — not months of meetings and status calls.

Question 21

What are the payment terms?

Accepted Answer

Milestone-based: 30% to begin (M1), 40% at build completion (M2), and 30% on final delivery and sign-off (G5). For larger projects, we can structure more granular milestones. All payments are processed via Stripe.

Question 22

What is the Founding Businesses Programme?

Accepted Answer

The first 100 businesses to build with Marviy receive a 20% founding discount, priority build queue, a dedicated project manager, and their project published as a success story. Check marviy.com to see how many founding spots remain.

Question 23

Do you offer ongoing maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After launch, we offer SLA-backed support tiers starting at $299/month. Every project includes a 30-day post-launch support period at no extra cost.

Question 24

How do you ensure quality?

Accepted Answer

Every build goes through 5 human approval gates. Comprehensive automated testing, security scanning, and performance verification are built into the factory process. Nothing ships without your explicit sign-off at Gate 5.

Question 25

Is my software secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Security is built into every stage: secure authentication, encrypted data storage, OWASP compliance, dependency auditing, and human security review. We follow secure-by-default practices for every project.

Question 26

How do you handle sensitive data?

Accepted Answer

Your data is used only to build your software. It is never shared, sold, or used for any other purpose. We sign NDAs, use encrypted storage, follow data minimisation principles, and comply with PDPA and GDPR requirements.

Question 27

What if something goes wrong after launch?

Accepted Answer

Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support at no extra cost. Our monitoring catches issues early. With an SLA subscription, you get guaranteed response times — typically 4–8 hours for critical issues.

Question 28

Who owns the code?

Accepted Answer

You do. 100%. All source code, documentation, and intellectual property transfers to you on delivery. No licensing fees. No lock-in. No proprietary dependencies. You own it forever.

Question 29

Can my team take over after delivery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We write clean, well-documented code specifically so your team can maintain and extend it. Every project includes documentation, architecture decision records, and a handoff session. Standard patterns, no lock-in.

Question 30

Do you sign NDAs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We sign NDAs before any detailed project discussion. Your ideas, requirements, and business logic remain confidential. Intellectual property protection is non-negotiable.

Question 31

What if Marviy isn’t the right fit for my project?

Accepted Answer

We’re honest about fit. Visit marviy.com/right-fit to see exactly who we build for and who we don’t. If your requirements aren’t fully formed yet, our Discovery Sprint — a 5-day engagement — turns a fuzzy problem into a build-ready spec, with the cost credited if you proceed.

Question 32

How do I contact Marviy?

Accepted Answer

The fastest path: tell ARIA your problem at marviy.com/start — your System Blueprint and proposal will be ready in minutes. For general enquiries, email info@marviy.com or use the contact form at marviy.com/contact.

Question 33

What’s the response time?

Accepted Answer

System Blueprints and proposals are generated in minutes. General enquiries are answered within 1 business day. Existing clients on SLA subscriptions get guaranteed response times.

Question 34

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

Marviy Pte Ltd is headquartered in Singapore. We serve clients globally — our factory model means timezone differences don’t slow delivery.
