We specialize in design and development for the manufacturing sector, delivering user-focused digital solutions that enhance efficiency, support automation, and align with industry demands.

  1. 01

    Identify

    Our initial focus is exploring and understanding your unique requirements and potential business opportunities. We conduct research, identify your target audience, and carefully analyze any challenges or gaps your product has the potential to address.

  2. 02

    Define

    In this phase, we clearly outline your product’s vision and goals. We design a feature set that is responsive to ongoing feedback and the evolving needs of your customers. The result is an outcome-driven roadmap with user stories to align the team with the mission.

  3. 03

    Design

    Now, we enter the design phase, where we conceptualize and plan your product’s features and user experience. Our team will develop user interfaces, create conceptual designs, and shape the overall user interaction while keeping the user and stakeholders in the loop.

  4. 04

    Implement

    With the foundation set, it’s time to bring your product to life. Based on the evolving requirements and design, we implement features, engage in iterative coding, conduct various tests, and adapt based on early feedback.

  5. 05

    Operate

    Upon reaching this stage, our focus shifts to the launch of your product. We ensure a smooth operation, monitoring performance closely, providing ongoing support, and adjusting strategies based on initial user feedback and the defined product metrics.

  6. 06

    Maintain

    Beyond the launch, we commit to sustaining and optimizing your product’s lifecycle. We monitor KPIs to avoid missing a product pivot if needed. Our ongoing efforts include regular maintenance, addressing issues or bugs, implementing updates or enhancements, and managing the overall system health.

Case study

Factory 2.0: Bytes meet bolts.

As a leading supplier in the field of high-strength fasteners with more than 3,000 employees across the globe, our client had the goal to build a responsive web app that provides digital real-time views of the production line.

The Product team successfully deployed a responsive web application integrated with IoT technology. This digital solution, accessible on various devices from industrial screens to large displays, streamlines manufacturing processes by replacing manual paperwork with digital forms. Real-time monitoring of active machines, resource replacement needs, and individual machine performance ensures efficient operations and reduces downtime.

Outcomes.

Decrease production downtime

Increased productivity and revenue

Simplified employee communication

Improved supply chain management

Perform high in the sky: Securing the Cloud.

As one of the top energy companies in Germany, our client had strict cloud security requirements to meet.

Our Product team created a tool for our client’s employees that are responsible for evaluating cloud resources for security issues and security compliance. Only specific people could do the manual process of checking if all the accounts were compliant with the ISO 27001 certifications. It was a time-consuming task since they checked each account individually.

Outcomes.

Reduction of internal operative costs

Faster error detection

Improve efficiency

Higher accuracy

Case study

To risk or not to risk – the answer is User Research.

A big association of plumbing and heating companies wanted to elaborate what beneficial services they could offer to their members. One idea was the creation of a risk management tool.

A Product Duo from ProductDock and our parent company codecentric did intense user research to find out, if this kind of need exists or if it may be too risky to invest in such an endeavour.

Outcomes.

Build or buy decision-making support

Validation of current user pain points & needs
