Your Product Development Partner
Do you have an insight, discovery or invention? A vague idea or a clear vision? A quick sketch? Perhaps a competitive challenge? At Panchromos my associates and I will work with you to turn these into prototypes and products. Into solutions and answers. Into plastic, metal, glass and silicon in your hands. And most importantly into marketable value.
We're most commonly labelled as "product development consultants". But we're very hands-on and create and collaborate more then we consult. We design, engineer, shape, build and test. Probe, search, sift and find. Construct, calculate, sketch and tinker. Define, plan, manage and implement projects. We're knowledgeable yet remain constantly curious. Experienced yet professionally naïve enough to come up with fresh ideas. We're not really inventors—although we have come up with patents—yet we're very inventive.
For you we can act as product development team as well as sparring partners, technology scouts, and virtual colleagues. Together we work on projects ranging from exploring fuzzy ideas to production engineering and CE-marking. From making a proof-of-concept model to pilot batch assembly. Brainstorming to supplier selection. For a few days to over a year. Mixing precision mechanics, electronics, and optics with great styling and a keen eye for costs. This page gives some ideas of how you can work with us.
We've got plenty of colleagues in this field - before I started Panchromos I was director of a medium-sized consultancy. But I feel project-based virtual teams can offer start-ups, spin-outs and SMEs greater flexibility and lower overheads. So what sets us apart?
My personal commitment: I personally lead every project. Only take on projects where I can make a significant personal contribution - I don't act as a middleman. And I personally guarantee that you will be excited about our work - you only pay us when we've met your expectations.
A team to suit the project, not the other way around: For most projects I put together a project team from my network of associates - the right person for the right (part of the) job. Together we provide the mix of skills and industry experience your project needs. Covering a wide range of technical disciplines including industrial design, applied physics, optics, mechanical & electronic engineering, embedded software development, regulatory affairs and manufacturing. And you can be sure these professionals are as highly motivated as I am.
Design for Sales: I love technology. I love design. But for years I did business development at early-stage companies, and realise that the real goal of our product development efforts is to create marketable value for our clients. That is what drives our design choices.
Flexibility: Especially for early stage technology companies priorities and constraints can change quickly. Our low overheads and virtual team approach allow us to be as flexible as you need us to be.
Let's talk to see if we can create great products and great value together.
