Why Innovation as a Service: A Hands-On Approach to Business Growth

In a business landscape that’s moving faster than ever, innovation isn’t a “nice to have”—it’s essential. But for many companies, the challenge isn’t about dreaming up new ideas; it’s about making those ideas happen. Enter innovation as a service, a powerful way to bridge strategic vision with hands-on implementation.

At Timbergrove, innovation as a service isn’t just an offering—it’s a strategic partnership. By working side-by-side with you, we create solutions that drive genuine, measurable results. Too many consulting practices ship you a list of recommendations and call it done—our innovation team is different because we have hands-on expertise in implementing change. 

This partnership approach ensures that both sides benefit, creating a relationship that goes beyond a simple transaction.

Why Innovation as a Service? 3 Key reasons.

By opting for innovation as a service, you can keep up with (or even get ahead of) the competition without needing to invest in a large in-house development team. Partnering with a specialized team like ours means you get to stay focused on what you do best while we handle the ins and outs of the innovation process.

1. Get access to specialized expertise not on your team

Our experts have backgrounds in everything from industrial automation and electrical engineering to solution architecture and business process design, which means we have a broad set of hardware, software, and business skills. As a team, we’re fluent in information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT), and we have practical experience connecting high-level tech with on-the-ground applications.

2. Improve your operational and cost-efficiency

Drive down costs by tapping into specialized resources and a streamlined process that will get you where you need to go so much faster than if you were starting from scratch internally. We’re not afraid to start small, with proof of concepts (POCs) that demonstrate real value before scaling up—ensuring every dollar delivers ROI.

3. Focus on core business activities

Free up your internal team to focus on core business priorities while we manage the technology, challenges, and iterations necessary to get the right solution into practice. 

We go beyond traditional consulting

Timbergrove’s strength lies in our ability to seamlessly work with our clients and their teams toward your business goals. We don’t just deliver on what’s asked—we help shape those needs with you, working from start to finish to ensure our solutions genuinely work.
