What type of product development services does Vertex provide?

Vertex PD provides comprehensive product development services, including industrial design, engineering, prototyping, and production preparation. Our team supports clients across industries like medical devices, consumer products, and semiconductors, delivering turnkey solutions from concept to market-ready products.

When should I start involving Vertex in my product development project?

The sooner, the better! In some cases, we recommend that clients hold off with the patenting process since we know we can add a lot of value to a product. This helps the client avoid costly patent application revisions. Generally, we can start working on a project at any stage of development.

What is a typical cost for a product development program?

There is no typical cost for product development as each product is unique. Each project has a cost based on its complexity, the number of parts required, and the expertise needed to achieve the final design. Some products are simple and easy to design and engineer and may only take a few weeks to finish. Others require electronics development and plastic engineering and are much more complicated.

How do you charge for services provided?

When providing an estimate, we will divide the project program into phases of development based on our understanding of the project goals and complexity. Using knowledge gained from our experience, we will estimate the cost per phase. Although this is only an estimate, it will give the client a good sense of the overall project cost. However, we do, charge by the number of hours invested in each task.

What about intellectual property? How do you protect it?

Product development business is constantly dealing with new and innovative ideas. Before we start engaging in any project, we make sure we sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement with each client, and we are very sensitive about protecting our clients in this way. We know that the safeguarding of new ideas and technologies is critical to the product's success.
