Strategy and design.
Every engagement starts with how the business actually operates: what it sells, what it runs on, and where the work is being done by hand. The design follows the operation, not a template.
SEC/A0 · Firm
We build the systems businesses run on.
Spark Global is a systems and software firm. We design, build and run the infrastructure underneath a business: integrations, automation, AI, custom platforms, data, websites and eCommerce. Our clients range from owner-operated companies to mid-size teams, across ten industries.
SEC/A1 · Structure
One firm, every discipline the work needs.
Engineering.
More than thirty engineers and designers across systems integration, data, AI and automation, custom software, front end, QA and project management. Each build is staffed by what it needs.
Operations.
What we build, we can run: monitoring, updates, vendor changes and the next round of work, for as long as it's needed.
SEC/A2 · Method
From first call to running system.
- STEP/01
Map
We learn how the business actually runs: what it sells, what it runs on, and where the work gets carried by hand. One storefront or six systems of record, the map comes first.
- STEP/02
Design
The system is designed around your operation: what gets built, what gets connected, what it looks like, and in what order. A fixed scope and a fixed price.
- STEP/03
Build
Built in stages you can see and use, tested with your people before anything goes live.
- STEP/04
Run
We operate, maintain and extend what we build, or hand it to your team with everything they need to run it.
SEC/A3 · Principles
What we hold to.
Diagnose before you build.
Name what's happening before offering to fix it. The first conversation is about your business, not our services.
Your systems, not another system.
Nothing gets ripped out for its own sake. What you already run keeps running, and starts working with everything else.
Infrastructure over shortcuts.
A fix that breaks when you get busier is not a fix.
Silence is success.
A system that's working is one nobody has to think about.
SEC/A4 · Ventures
We build our own, too.
Spark Global builds and operates software businesses of its own, in real estate data, property management and AI. They run on the same infrastructure we build for clients, which is how we know it holds up.
SEC/A5 · Leadership
Jeff Gable
Founder & CEO
Jeff has spent his career building the systems companies run on: eCommerce platforms and storefronts, CRM and automation, AI tools, custom software, and the integrations that connect them. He has also built and launched businesses of his own, and that is where the firm's point of view comes from. A company runs on its systems, and the systems should do the work. He founded Spark Global to build that infrastructure for other companies, and leads the firm's strategy and its client engagements.
SEC/A6 · Where
Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Engagements run wherever your team is.
