ClearRoute

ClearRoute is a global platform engineering consultancy that works with large enterprises to bring digital products to market faster, more cheaply and with less risk. Its stated aim is to unlock multi-million-pound value from clients' engineering functions, with reported outcomes including a 12-fold reduction in lead times, a 75% reduction in change failure rates and millions of pounds saved in engineering effectiveness. Named clients include Commonwealth Bank, Collinson, Barclays and National Grid ESO, spanning financial services, insurance and loyalty services, energy and enterprise technology.

The firm's principal tool is the QCE (Quality Cloud Engineering) Framework, a proprietary method developed in 2022. QCE addresses the 'Route to Live' - the path from code to production - by identifying and removing obstacles across three domains: Cloud Platforms, Quality Engineering and Developer Experience. The framework draws on practices in platform engineering, DevOps and software delivery optimisation.

ClearRoute describes its engineers as multi-skilled QCE practitioners who operate as a unified layer across organisational silos, working to dismantle obstacles and establish a shared language between development, operations and quality teams. The approach is holistic and systematic, with an emphasis on measurable results and engineering effectiveness. The firm operates globally.
