Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
Zoocha employ an agile methodology for the delivery of Drupal development. The first step will be to establish the project team and commence the planning phase. This is done as part of an onboarding meeting where the project team can meet, establish and agree roles & responsibilities and define the service roadmap. The outcome of this meeting would be a clear vision on the objectives and targets for the project and specific areas of business analysis and scoping that are still required.

Discovery is finished when you know:
● the scope of the service to be designed and developed
● the team needed to complete the transition
● how you’ll measure success and ongoing KPI's
● any related services that exist to meet the user need
● how many of your users need assisted digital support and what their needs are

Quality assurance and performance testing

Quality assurance and performance testing service
Yes
How the quality assurance and performance testing works
With the recent advancement of automated testing tools and online services, if you run an online business or site that has any level of complexity to it and has regular updates, then it makes sense for you to look at automated testing as a way to:

Reduce the risk in any deployment; Ensure old bugs don't creep back in; Help developers quickly diagnose problems; Quickly pinpoint issues; Prove to 3rd parties where faults lay; Demonstrate levels of full operational capability; Most importantly, save you and your team time + money, and give you the confidence that that things are working as they should.

The Zoocha Test Dashboard is set up for clients to trigger tests on-demand, schedule tests, see the results of tests, set up mailing lists to alert stakeholders in the event of any failed tests, and request new tests.

Our automated testing services apply to: Drupal Commerce, Drupal websites/platforms, Non-Drupal based applications.

Fighting climate change

Zoocha are proud to be certificated to the ISO 14001 standard (by a UKAS rated accreditation body) since early 2023. This internationally recognized standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS) helps organisations such as Zoocha in identifying, managing, and continually improving their environmental performance.

While ISO 14001 doesn't explicitly target carbon emissions, it supports the reduction of a variety of practices, such as Zoocha’s environmental policy which outlines our commitment to reducing environmental impacts, including carbon emissions.

Zoocha's services are also 'Green Mark' certified.

Zoocha has an established EMS, which includes plans, procedures, and practices to achieve our objectives and targets. This included the development of strategies to reduce energy consumption, improving process efficiency (such as in hosting environments), and switching to low-carbon energy sources.

Tackling economic inequality

At Zoocha, we understand the profound impact that economic inequality can have on communities and industries alike. Our approach to tackling this issue is multi-faceted, rooted in our core values of People, Trust, Value, Quality, and Success. We strive to create opportunities and foster an inclusive environment where everyone has the chance to thrive.

Firstly, we ensure that our hiring practices are fair and inclusive, offering equal opportunities for people from diverse backgrounds. This is crucial in the tech industry, where diversity can drive innovation and creativity. By building a team that reflects a wide range of experiences and perspectives, we not only enhance our own services but also contribute to reducing the skills gap in the technology sector.

We also extend our commitment to economic equality through our work with clients in the higher education, public sector, health, and Charity/NGO sectors. By delivering high-quality digital solutions that improve accessibility, efficiency, and engagement, we help these organisations serve their communities more effectively, indirectly combating economic inequality by providing better access to essential services.

Finally, our contributions to the Drupal Open Source project reflect our belief in the power of technology as a force for good. By supporting the Drupal community through financial support, code contributions, and knowledge sharing, we help ensure that cutting-edge technology is available and accessible to all, democratizing access to digital tools that can empower individuals and organizations worldwide.

In these ways, Zoocha actively works towards a more equitable world, leveraging our expertise and resources to make a difference in the communities we serve and beyond.

Equal opportunity

The Zoocha culture, policies and processes explicitly ban any discrimination including (but not limited to) on the grounds of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage/civil partnership, pregnancy/maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. Zoocha aspires to provide a diverse workforce, a composition of which reflects that of the broader community. In accordance with our policy,

Zoocha is totally committed to the principles and practice of equal opportunities as an employer. Our directors and members of senior management are empowered to recruit and manage employees, advocate our policies and make every effort to ensure that all actions and decisions have equity at their core.

Wellbeing

At Zoocha, our employee wellbeing is our top priority and we offer a number of services to accommodate this. Our benefits scheme includes birthdays off, 25 days of annual leave per year, gym memberships, mental health support and private health care. These are offered to our employees to ensure that we are able to provide a comfortable, secure work space that everybody can enjoy.

We also offer all of our employees the opportunity to take advantage of a flexible working schedule which allows them to work from any location and attend to any needs throughout the day.

While we encourage the onboarding of local employees to support employment opportunities, we are more than happy to accommodate our remote employees, supplying any equipment needed in order to create a comforting home office space, as well as booking hotel stays if they want to visit the office for a more sociable atmosphere.
