In today’s fast-moving technology landscape, accelerating product development is not just a competitive advantage — it’s essential. At Cratus Technology, we’ve designed a solution to meet this urgency: the “Team-in-a-Box” approach. This model brings together a fully integrated team of experts — including embedded systems engineers, industrial designers, firmware developers, and project managers — all working collaboratively under one agile framework. Unlike fragmented outsourcing or rigid internal pipelines, Team-in-a-Box delivers seamless coordination from idea to working prototype. The value is not just in speed, but in precision. Every component, every layout, every firmware line is engineered with manufacturing and certification in mind from day one.

This model enables seamless handoffs between disciples, allowing hardware, firmware, and system-level decisions to evolve in parallel. Each phase is structured for traceability and iteration, supporting design validation, compliance workflows, and integration with supply chain or contract manufacturing partners when needed. Cratus’s internal tooling, documentation standards, and version control processes are tailored to reduce risk and support long-term maintainability, especially in regulated or mission-critical environments. It also supports design transfers to OEMs or in-house teams without friction. All deliverables are structured for reusability-across future product generations. Just a working MVP – ready for iteration or pre-certification testing.

But Team-in-a-Box doesn’t stop at prototyping. Our engineers also build for the next step: manufacturability, testability, and long-term maintainability. We optimize BOMs for cost and sourcing, conduct thermal and EMI reviews, and design with certifications like FCC, CE, and FDA in mind. This means fewer revisions, smoother handoffs to production, and faster time to market. Whether you’re a startup chasing a launch date or a Fortune 500 innovating your next flagship product, Cratus’s Team-in-a-Box is built to move as fast as you think — and just as smart.
