Full-Service Product Management Solution For Your Business
LOKAL helps you build better products through key solutions.

Product Management Consulting
A Product Management consultant generally works on a project that is well-defined by the client. This might include market analysis and validation, developing a business case or defining product strategy and building a strategic roadmap. Work is done offsite, with occasional visits to the client site if necessary to gather data or present findings and deliverables.
Product Management Contractors
Product Management contractors join your team and play the part of an acting Product Manager. They do everything necessary to help the product they are assigned to succeed, no matter where it is in the Product Lifecycle. Work is often done onsite, though many times they can work remotely.

LOKAL takes on your product requirements and works with you to develop your product. We will use our team of Product Managers, Designers, and Developers to build your product and address the problem you want to solve.
