Your goal is to produce something that people will love. It's difficult to know what exactly to build, that’s where rapid prototyping comes in.
Whether you’re a hardware startup or looking for an operational efficiency, we assist with building your Minimum Viable Product (MVP) through lean hardware development.
This is the smallest possible product that allows you to test your hypothesis and attract the interest of early adopters.

Prototyping that’s actually rapid
Every story has a different set of requirements and needs. Prototyping helps us to quickly identify the right solution for a given problem.
A short time to market allows you to focus on the last mile of value that you provide to your customers. With our process, you are ready to go within twelve weeks.
Ideas become a reality
By having an end-to-end proof of concept, you can start gathering user feedback from each part of your offering.
This lets you find out what users think about the product’s potential utility and which features should be prioritised in the development cycle.
Built using the right tools
We use production ready components that helps to significantly reduce the lead time with hardware prototyping.
This in combination with the Wia cloud platform is fit for pretty much any use case at any stage of the product development process.
Our IoT rules engine lets you configure cloud-side business logic.

The Process
Definition & Scoping
The essential foundation to every project is the planning stage. This is where we gather as much insight as possible so we can discover what exactly to build. The output of this process provides the basis for the product development cycle.
- Research
- Customer interviews
- Analysis
Ideation & Design
Moving the needle closer to real life, this stage is where we decide on what we are going to build and how we are going to do it.
- Concept design
- Material and component sourcing
- User experience and interface design
Build
The physical beginnings of your hardware product. We take the designs and turn them into something you can use. All aspects of the functional requirements are met.
- Hardware and software development
- 3D casing printing
Deploy
We’re ready to launch! Everything comes together for release into the world. We assist with putting your devices into their environment so you can start measuring and learning.
- Installation and delivery of devices
- Training
