Leverage our experience to accelerate your product development

Concept

This is where it starts and for many it has started out sketched out on the back of an envelope with an accompanying list of questions.

Brainstorming, facilitating technical discussion and contributing technical knowledge, we can help move those initial ideas into a series of potential product outlines.

Then we can help build a framework for comparison: what will it cost, what could we sell it for, how will it perform technically, how long will it take to get there? How do we make the best fact-based decision?

Model

Early on with the development of any product there are always questions on feasibility, performance, risks, cost and reliability.

Identifying bottlenecks, hidden costs and technical barriers can be critical to success. You need to be sure that what you’re developing will do its job. Your investors/stakeholders will want to know that as well as having a market, your proposal is technically sound and will deliver for that market.

Antala has a wealth of experience developing models to do just that.

Specify

Encoding a product happens on many levels: requirements, safety assessments, architecture, block and module design as well as specifying tests. Some products need all of this, others just a drawing.

Getting the right balance of documentation to move a design forward, ensure it can be reliably developed and reproduced whilst managing the overhead in time and resource can be tricky.

Starting from single sheets of hand scribbled A4 or volumes of detailed requirements, Antala has helped specify a wide range of products and services to enable quick and robust developments.

Design

It’s happening … pen has been put to paper: software of all flavours, cloud servers, APIs, printed circuit boards, plastics, metal enclosures and mechanics are evolving.

Today’s products are complex often spanning multiple disciplines and geographic locations. We can apply a breadth of knowledge crossing multiple domains to advise, validate, project manage or work directly on the development.

Design is in our DNA and we’ve had great experiences working with amazing teams and on interesting projects worldwide to deliver successful products.

Prototype

The first prototype, it’s exciting and often the first tangible glimpse of your product. The ability to produce and refine prototypes quickly can make all the difference. Resolve design snags, provide marketing a concrete demonstration tool, reassure investors, refine product ideas and build credibility with your customers.

Knowing how to quickly engineer high quality software, hardware and mechanical prototypes, we can assist at any level.

Manufacture

Manufacturing starts way before many people realise. Decisions taken early in the design cycle can have huge costs implications later on.

We can help develop a design for manufacture and test approach to make the transition from prototype to production easier whether it’s a software, hardware or something else entirely.

Once you’re ready to go to production we can help with supplier selection, reliability testing, production monitoring and ongoing cost reduction.

Support

Once your product has been released into the wild, it’s not finished. Ensuring customers have the best experience possible and that problems are resolved quickly and efficiently is critical.

With over 20 years of supporting customers from individual users to multi-national quality and purchasing organisations, we can help you put in place a world class response to your customers needs.
