The Product Development services we offer
At Plan A, we know how much work goes into product development projects which is why we have a flexible and transparent approach to how we work with clients and their teams. Whether you want to partner with us from the start of your journey, need support around a roadblock you’ve encountered or want us to join at a certain stage— we’re ready to help.
Your experienced sounding-board and partner
Our experience bringing products to market has been varied for every project we’ve worked on which has helped us shape the services we offer clients today. We can help at every stage of a project or from the beginning, offering the following services.
What we do
We’re proud of our track record of bringing popular products to market and our success comes from the way we work as a product development consultancy;
Product Development Strategy
We’ll help your team from the initial design stages and apply a structured process to the product design stage before it goes to prototype. We’ll help advise on user-friendly product designs, drawing on our experience, and make sure the product will be compliant at every stage.
Product Design
Once the product has been designed and signed off by your team, we’ll start working on the prototype and samples. Depending on the size of your product, we can use our on-site 3D printer to bring your product to life. Our design team works with Solid Works, the industry-standard CAD software, so your product will be ready to go straight to the engineering stage.
Product Sourcing
When your product is ready to be manufactured, our experienced team will work to source suitable materials and the right manufacturers to suit your specific needs. We always source ethical, planet-first materials and have strong relationships with ethical manufacturers around the world.
Prototypes & Samples
Our reliable manufacturing partners will work with us and your team to be transparent about timelines and any other deliverables to ensure the best possible outcome for your project. Of course, they’ll work to be compliant too, avoiding any delays or added costs.
Compliance & Testing
As one of the most important parts of any product development project, being compliant and testing at every possible stage, is at the centre of our processes. We apply a user-centric approach, making sure your product is compliant and well-tested before it reaches the market. We’ve got access to multiple global testing houses to ensure a successful outcome for your project.
Production Management
We work with sustainable and reliable manufacturing partners to build lasting relationships and ensure the best possible outcome.
“Silver Cross recently completed our third project with Plan A Product Development and I can highly recommend their management, development and commerciality. Scott and his team expertly navigated some difficult challenges.”
— Nick Paxton, CEO, Silver Cross
