One-stop-shop
From Concept to Completion
In the embedded industry, an end-to-end service provider refers to a company that provides a comprehensive suite of services covering every aspect of the product development lifecycle. This includes initial concept development, detailed design, prototyping, manufacturing, testing, deployment, life cycle management, and when the time comes, a potential redesign or update. Being an end-to-end service provider means that a single company can manage the entire project from start to finish, reducing the need for clients to coordinate with multiple suppliers or service providers, saving both time and resources.
In this article we’ll take a closer look at how Hectronic manages projects as an embedded one-stop shop and how that benefits you as a customer.
