A minimum viable product (MVP) is crucial for market testing, demand validation, and feedback collection to guide iteration.
Some of the most successful global platforms, like Uber and Airbnb, started as simple MVPs, with just enough functionality to test and prove their concept.
Two companies that successfully followed this approach are SecūrSpace and True Load Time. Both transformed from early-stage concepts into established businesses with the support of software development agency Designli.
SecūrSpace Expands Rapidly with a More Scalable Platform
Against the backdrop of the initial success of its system and fueled by significant demand from trucking and logistics companies, SecūrSpace employed Designli to assist with:
- A full code review and audit
- An increase in the pace of ongoing feature iterations
- Blueprinting for new iPhone and Android apps
So, Designli developed a digital platform to streamline SecūrSpace’s operations and improve user experience via its proprietary SolutionLab, a two-week prototyping process.

The solution scoped out all the essential features required for an MVP, and it proved to be so effective after the launch redesign that Envase Technologies purchased SecūrSpace.

Today, SecūrSpace is an online marketplace that provides on-demand access to industrial real estate across the U.S. through a pay-by-use solution for overnight truck parking or a safe place to drop off trailers or equipment.
True Load Time Tackles Costly Delays in the Trucking Industry
In the case of True Load Time, an MVP set out to solve a multi-billion-dollar-a-year issue in the trucking industry: a lack of transparency in facility loading and unloading times, which caused delays at shipping and receiving facilities.

Built using patent-pending technology, True Load Time was thus born to end these issues.

Designli employed an Agile methodology and tools like Angular, NodeJS, Amazon ElasticSearch, and Amazon Web Services for the infrastructure — while ensuring the system’s architecture was well-documented for patent filing.
The agency focused on user experience so that truckers and fleet dispatchers could access the database anytime.
Resulting in a successful prototype and MVP, True Load Time secured funding and industry partners.
Key Lessons Startups Can Learn from Successful MVPs
Designli prides itself on its transparent, communicative, and proactive approach. By focusing on creating tailored digital products with innovative design and quality engineering, the agency has developed a portfolio of robust, scalable solutions.
According to Designli, there are five key lessons to remember before launching an MVP:
- Start small and solve a clear problem
- Validate the idea before investing in development
- Only focus on one core feature that resonates with users
- Scale gradually based on user feedback and demand
- Focus on simple, high-value features to drive user adoption
According to Keith Shields, Designli’s CEO, an MVP validates core assumptions before scaling, preventing wasted resources on untested ideas.
“We recently launched the Designli Engine, a tool that streamlines this process to rapidly building and refining MVPs to ensure market fit before a full-scale launch.”
Creating an MVP requires many steps, decisions, and iterations — that’s why partnering with the right development team can make or break your idea.
This is where Designli becomes the go-to partner, helping startups realize their full potential by ensuring that ideas are successfully validated, refined, and launched.
The Designli Engine transforms the MVP development process, allowing you to focus on what matters most: delivering a standout user experience.
