Customisation

Why Oyster?

Outsourcing product development and even manufacture is an option many businesses are taking today.

It enables companies to call on a range of technical skills they may not have in-house, and it uses existing staff in the most efficient way - running projects rather than carrying out detailed design work.

Oyster Terminal's multi-disciplinary design team has the skills to carry out all aspects of product design including:

  • Electronic engineering
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Software development
  • Production engineering

Why Out-Source?

We have many years experience in all aspects of portable terminal product development and we can adapt our service to your needs. We offer the following:

  • Concept design
  • Prototype design
  • Production engineering
  • Software design and development
  • Manufacturing in our dedicated facility

Our Approach

Our aim is to make life easier for our clients by:

  • Delivering on time and to budget at each stage of the project
  • Managing the complete project from initial concept to delivery of the finished product
  • Reducing time to market through a building block design approach, allowing previously-designed elements to be re-used
  • Using the latest technologies and techniques to minimise product cost and maximise performance

We handle parts of projects as well as complete projects. For example, previous projects have focused on just:

  • A moulding
  • An electronic design; and
  • An application software project
