Case Study
Our customer asked if we could offer a solution to incorporate their proprietary code and technology into a market available device.
The Brief
The customer wanted to add a “delighter” product, namely, a timer switch to their product portfolio. Unfortunately, due to other project commitments, they had limited internal engineering resource to do this project. Orbit worked as part of this business to successfully deliver a fully approved, tested ODM product within the timescales agreed.
