PARTNER PATHWAY

The engineering team behind your studio

You won the web or product work and you do not have the engineers to build it. We do that part, under your brand, on your timeline, without ever appearing in front of your client unless you want us to. Same senior people who build our own client work, no juniors billed as seniors, and no account manager between you and the person writing the code.

SINCE 2018shipping product engineering

In one sentence

Wavect works as the white-label engineering team for design and branding studios: we build what you sold, under your brand, with a fixed scope and a named senior engineer, and we do not compete for your client's design or strategy work.

Built for

  • Design and branding studios that win build work they cannot staff
  • Studios that need one senior engineer accountable, not a pool of contractors
  • Partners who want their client relationship left completely intact

Not built for

  • Lowest-hourly-rate body shopping. We are not the cheap option and will not pretend to be.
  • Passing on a brief nobody has scoped. We will help scope it, but somebody has to.
  • Work where the client expects us to own product decisions the studio has already sold.

How a partner engagement runs

Deliberately boring, because the whole value of a white-label partner is that nothing surprising reaches your client.

01

Scope together, before you quote

Send us the brief while you are still pricing it. We tell you what is straightforward, what is risky, and what we would refuse, so your quote survives contact with the build. This costs you nothing and it is the step that prevents most partnership failures.
02

One contract, one invoice

You contract with Wavect GmbH and your client contracts with you. Where we bring in a specialist from our network, they work as a subcontractor under our agreement, so you still have one counterparty. Full entity, IP and subprocessor detail is in the trust center .
03

Build with your name on it

Commits, documentation and handover material carry whatever branding you specify. We join your client calls as your team, or not at all. Your choice, per project, and we will not change it without asking.
04

Hand over completely

Source, infrastructure access, runbooks and documentation, so you or your client can take it forward without us. Ongoing maintenance is available as a cancellable retainer, not as a dependency we design in.
// 02

The commitments that make this workable

A white-label partnership only holds if the awkward questions are answered before the first project, so here they are.

We do not pitch your client

Not during the engagement and not after it. We will not approach them for design, branding or strategy work, and if they approach us directly for something in your scope, we tell you. This is the whole basis of the arrangement and we treat it that way.

Your brand, or none

We are content to be invisible. We will not ask for a credit, a case study or a logo placement unless you offer it. Where we do want to write about the work, we ask first and we accept no as an answer.

Senior people, named

You get the specific engineers who do our own client delivery, and you know who they are. We do not staff partner work with whoever is free. If we cannot cover a project with senior capacity, we say so rather than filling it.

Fixed scope or cancellable retainer

Scoped work is a fixed price on a Werkvertrag, so you can quote your client with a number that holds. Ongoing work is a weekly retainer you can cancel any week. We do not bill hourly, because hourly billing puts our incentive on the wrong side of your margin.

We will tell you when to refuse

If a brief cannot be built for what the client will pay, or the timeline is not real, you hear it from us before you sign, not in week six. A partner who only ever says yes is a partner who will eventually hand you a disaster.

IP goes to you

Code and deliverables are yours on payment, so you can pass full ownership to your client. Nothing is licensed back to us and nothing depends on our infrastructure.
// 03

Work we can point at

Direct client engagements rather than white-label projects, because our partner work is covered by exactly the confidentiality this page promises. These show the delivery standard.

These are selected projects, not our full portfolio. We have shipped 75+ products since 2018.

Where to look next

Partner questions

No. Not during the project and not afterwards. We do not sell design, branding or strategy, so there is nothing for us to cross-sell into your relationship, and if your client contacts us about work inside your scope we tell you rather than quoting them. If that commitment is not credible to you, do not start a partnership with us or with anyone else.
Yes, as fully as you want. Documentation and handover material carry your branding, and we join client calls as your team or stay entirely out of them. We are happy to be invisible and we will not ask for a credit or a case study unless you offer one.
One counterparty and one invoice instead of several, senior engineers you can name instead of a rotating pool, and accountability for the outcome rather than for hours logged. Where we bring in a specialist, they work as a subcontractor under our contract, so the coordination burden stays with us.
Scoped work is a fixed price on a Werkvertrag, agreed before we start, so you can quote your client a number that holds. Ongoing work is a weekly retainer you can cancel any week. We do not bill hourly. We are not the cheapest option available to you and we would rather say that plainly than be discovered later.
Yes, and we would rather do that than inherit a fixed price somebody else guessed at. Send the brief while you are still pricing it and we will tell you what is straightforward, what is risky and what we would decline. There is no charge for that conversation.
You do, on payment, so you can pass full ownership to your client. Nothing is licensed back to us and nothing depends on infrastructure we control. The entity, jurisdiction and IP detail is in the trust center .
We have a vetted specialist network and they work under our statement of work, so you keep one contract and one invoice. We take no referral cut, and we will tell you when the honest answer is that this project needs a different partner entirely.
No, and that is deliberate. Design and branding are what you sell. We build. Keeping that line clean is what makes it safe for you to introduce us to work you care about.

Send us the brief you are pricing

The scoping conversation is free and it is the fastest way to find out whether this partnership is worth having. If the answer is no, you will get that answer quickly.
