Operational Impact
The partnership with MacroFab has brought about significant operational benefits for the keyless security brand. The company no longer has to deal with the time zone difference, language barriers, and long overseas trips to validate engineering-design changes. The path back to production-level volume after making design changes is much quicker, which is crucial now that the business is part of a larger Fortune 500 company. With its shortened iteration cycle, the keyless security brand can bring new products to market faster. Throughout the iteration process, the startup has access to MacroFab experts who understand the ins and outs of modern electronics manufacturing. The company also doesn’t have to worry about committing a certain amount of production volume to MacroFab, a common challenge that comes with working with many large overseas manufacturers. | |
