As a sparring partner, as a developer on your team, or as the team that carries your product. Whoever starts with one role can move on to the next.
We support you as coach and sparring partner on strategic, technical and organizational decisions.
Move on when: The decision is made, now a hand is missing.
We join your team as developers and take responsibility for hardware, software, design or system architecture. Hands-on and implementation-driven.
Move on when: One pair of hands becomes a product with design, partners and operations.
We provide interdisciplinary teams, including design and specialized partners, and accompany products from concept to operation.
AFTER THE LAUNCH
Benefits, costs and architecture on the table.
Prototype, series production and certification with a team that knows the product.
Updates, maintenance and further development in the field.
The next product generation starts with everything we already know.
HOW A PROJECT RUNS
01
15 to 30 minutes. We clarify what your product needs and which phase is next.
02
Before every phase we fix scope, result and price. You know what you get.
03
One dedicated contact, regular alignment, interim results instead of surprises at the end.
04
Every phase ends with a result. You decide whether and how to continue.
Frequently asked questions
How do you bill, and how comparable is that?
We work in phases. Before each phase we define scope, result and price in writing. That way you can assess and approve each phase individually.
Who do we sign the contract with, and what master data does our procurement need?
The contracting party is IOX GmbH, Dillenburger Straße 75, 51105 Cologne. We provide master data as well as contract and NDA templates on request.
What does the Cyber Resilience Act mean for our product?
The Cyber Resilience Act requires manufacturers of connected products to demonstrate security across the entire lifecycle, including vulnerability management and updates. We take this into account early in architecture and phase planning, and on request in a dedicated CRA Deep Dive.
What does the product cost over its entire lifetime?
We look beyond development to components, certification, operation and updates. We disclose these total costs in the first phase so you know them before you decide.
Is there funding?
Often, yes. For development services the research allowance may apply, even when you commission us as a contractor. Whether your project is eligible, we clarify in the intro call.
