Discover
There is always something new that is waiting to be discovered at the start of every project. Our first step is to sit down and learn about you and your unique business needs. We explore the best way we can augment your team to deliver a solution that is practical and sustainable as we begin the product development journey together.
We begin with brainstorming sessions early on. Here, we collaborate to gain background knowledge, challenge your ideas, provide our input, and help refine your goals into something concise and measurable.

Innovate
In a world obsessed with outsourcing and remote staff, i3 wants to challenge the status quo by keeping our teams in-house and on-site. You can trust that the people you meet on day one will be working alongside you throughout the duration of your project.
We believe that having the right people in-house and on-site leads to more creative thinking, improved collaboration and fosters a sense of trust between teams so we can create amazing designs and feats of engineering. We provide innovative solutions to product development challenges in:
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- User Experience Design
- Renders & Visuals
- Mechanical Engineering
- Industrial Design
- Electrical Design
Iterate
Product development is not about getting the perfect solution the first time. It’s about working to improve upon each small success through continuous learning. At i3 Product Development, we work with a fail-fast mindset to learn quickly what solutions won’t work so we provide results with confidence.
We seek out opportunities for iteration and have invested heavily in our people and facilities to offer you easy access to:
- Rapid prototyping services
- Quality assurance & testing
- Engineering Analysis
- Usability Testing
Support
Product launch is an exciting time and we prepare our clients by coordinating tooling resources, facilitating cloud-based server setup, providing packaging design and instruction manual development too. We also know that it takes attention to detail and ongoing support to keep customers loyal.
That’s why in 2018, we developed our own remote support tool specifically for connected IoT products which we now offer for our clients. Our internal teams also use it to troubleshoot prototype devices in the field on behalf of our clients.
