Benefits of The Garage Group + Digsite
Digsite enables the The Garage Group and their clients to test different types of ideas (think MVPs, offers and more) faster than previously imagined. Startups are encouraged to “get out of the building” to get quick input on their ideas; Digsite helps The Garage Group employ that same tactic with Bigco teams so that they can work smarter, not harder, at getting customer, consumer and stakeholder input, helping to quickly, iteratively and cost-effectively remove uncertainty in this era of unparalleled uncertainty.
