Once you have created a batch of prototypes, and your product has proved its value to the customers, you are ready to manufacture hundreds and thousands of samples of it. If you do not have your own production facility, outsource manufacturing might be the ultimate choice for you. We don’t stick to Chinese ODM and OEM and help our Client to find partners in the Eastern Europe.
Starting a mass production usually involves finding the right factories and visiting them, as well as searching for and making agreements with components and raw materials suppliers. This process can take up to several months. It can get quite frustrating if you stumble upon the inability to sell your products. To avoid such inconveniences, EnCata offers to help you with developing a good go-to-market plan on how to proceed.
We act as your extended R&D team which is faster than hiring engineers locally. The breadth of our technical expertise is unique.
Our dedicated team is ready to scale up quickly. We utilize AGILE lean development process that leads to 30-50% faster delivery.
Our development location enables us to be cost-effective and deliver premium R&D and engineering services at 1/3 of the price compared to that of in N-W Europe and USA.
When you are looking for another company to take over the responsibility for the sourcing and production process of your products, it is profitable to have collaborative and intuitive strategic sourcing solutions. If you are having a hard time finding contract manufacturers that meet your requirements, it can be a great opportunity to collaborate with EnCata, to effectively begin your production and start selling.
When your business is looking for another company to take responsibility for the sourcing and production process of your products it is time to make a critical decision. If you do not know how to search for contract manufacturers who meet your requirements it can be a great opportunity to collaborate with another company to start your production more effectively and to find your first Client. EnCata provides manufacturing sourcing services. As we work with many factories around the world to make manufacturing sourcing, we already have reliable contacts of manufacturers.
When you have completed the proof of concept stage, you can start with manufacturing your product. To begin with, you will need to produce several samples of it, to then, if necessary, improve or add new features. However, the core concept of the device will remain unchanged. To avoid the possibility of running out of budget, we highly recommend developing a manufacturing plan, as well as finding the right manufacturing sourcing company. In the long run, it will help you save on the production costs and improve the economic performance of your project.
Mechanical Engineering is a more holistic term for an engineering methodology where the manufacturing phase is included. In order to turn an idea into reality you will need to combine creativity, knowledge and analytical tools, precisely what mechanical engineering provides. The application of principles and problem-solving techniques of engineering will take the process from design to manufacturing, to finally launching the product to the market. This may affect the manufacturing costs and the products’ final price.
If you are planning on having an electrical system installed into your device, the Electrical Engineering stage will be included in the product development. Electrical engineering is essential to help you achieve the desired results in the manufacturing phase. Nevertheless, during the development, you might face some electrical challenges, for which it is necessary to design and implement cost-effective and robust solutions beforehand. EnCata’s electrical engineering will help you keep your system efficient, as well as optimize the manufacturing process.
The value of success lies not in the idea itself, but in its realization. When someone is very confident in his or her idea, he or she might feel inclined to jump straight into the production stage. This can be quite dangerous, since there is no reassurance that the end-product will sell. In order to ascertain that the project will be completed successfully, it is highly important to develop a project plan or method, and then run a feasibility study of it. Since a feasibility study takes into consideration all of the project’s relevant factors, it will help you to measure the market competition and the demand for your product.
Industrial Design gives the shape and strategic appearance of an initially indefinite idea. During the creation of industrial design, we do not only focus on the aesthetics of the appearance, but on the convenience of use as well. Furthermore, we make sure to be attentive to the issues that may arise along the way of taking a prototype to mass production, as well as of the products’ further life cycle. EnCata’s knowledge, resources and innovation development expertise allow our Clients to develop and expand their businesses faster and smoother.
Much attention is paid to the Product R&D stage for a detailed calculation of pros and cons in order to prevent failure of the project.At the Product research and development stage, our team helps to adjust the concept of the initial idea based on the analysis of market behavior (changes) and the study of opportunities and risks, bringing the user to the center of the discussion. Further Product development is aimed at improving the development product for a successful launch to the market.
There are many different feasible manufacturing techniques available around the world. If the chosen techniques are not aligned to your business goals, you will not be able to calculate the potential profit from selling your products. Understanding the process of manufacturing is not hard, when you know exactly what you are looking after.
You will save a good amount of time when working with an outsourcer like EnCata, who can help you with finding the right manufacturing factory, and who can give tactical strategic sourcing solutions on how to proceed.

EnCata works with both fixed term and agile contracts.
1. Once you have approached us with the project, we conclude the NDA and send the information to the Sales Manager for further evaluation and project planning.
2. The Sales Manager or Sales Engineer will contact you to clarify your goals, requirements and tasks to accomplish. This process is very close to business analysis. When the details are agreed with you, a cost estimate and a quotation are prepared.
3. If you accept the quotation, we will prepare a Technical design specification to document scope of work and requirements and conclude an agreement.
4. After we've signed the agreements, we'll assign you a Project Manager who will gather a project team and report on the project progress.
EnCata employs around 30 engineers with Master's and PhD degrees in electrical and industrial design, mechanical engineering, prototyping and manufacturing from European universities. Each employee is an expert in his or her field.
The majority of specialists are of middle or senior levels. Their range of influence is broad enough to encompass the entire new product lifecycle. Our specialists resolve legal and certification difficulties during the concept stage, optimize production costs during the 3D model development process and create necessary documentation for firmware support. Juniors make up only 15% of the team. They constantly upgrade their qualifications under the supervision of seniors.
EnCata is always willing to work with its client. We have everything we need to create a collaborative site. Both parties can work on the project simultaneously. The Customer, for instance, and his/ her team designs the electronics while we work on the enclosure. When teams work together to achieve a fantastic result, it is always a win scenario.
EnCata’s team is always willing to discuss all the necessary details about the project proposed. Our full-fledged team of professionals will interrogate you until both parties are satisfied with the procedures necessary to complete the job.
It certainly can. For any product, EnCata creates a design documentation package and a process documentation package that is suited to the production. It should be noted, however, that the technologists at the customer's chosen plant may make changes or impose their own requirements on the documentation design. EnCata, in turn, makes it easier for the client and the technologist to communicate. EnCata does not mass produce, although it can undertake small-scale production at the request of customers.
Yes. As a highly professional design and engineering firm, we make sure that all discussions with our clients and all information regarding your invention, idea and other proprietary information are kept confidential.
We follow a LEAN approach in product and business development and thus we strongly recommend patent filings only after you are at least part-way through development. This is because patenting is expensive and early patents can already become obsolete or irrelevant later in the development phase. Typically, EnCata's work generates many patentable opportunities for our clients and the best strategy is to file patents at TRL-7, i.e. when early beta prototype is ready and when a startup is ready to start batch production and marketing.There is, however, another strategy, which is to use provisional patents which can be loose and are not to be disclosed to the public for 18 months. These are much less expensive and time consuming, generally costing below $500.
EnCata will always sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement and keep your intellectual property confidential during the development phase and then we can recommend several third-party patent attorneys when the time is right.
Our in-house professionals handle almost all electronics work, including interface design, protocol development, communication design, schematic design, PCB Design, Firmware design and battery management. If the Customer requires a service that Encata does not supply, we have partners that can meet that need.
We certainly do. EnCata employs electronics specialists who deal with low-level firmware. We also have experts on staff who can implement high-level software code.
EnCata employs 12 mechanical and industrial designers and 10 electrical engineers with experience in hardware and firmware. Our team consists of middle and senior level engineers, who have 5+ years of field expertise and have already completed more than 300 projects.
We do indeed help with fundraising through our large business network. However, we typically recommend startups to our partner VCs after we have done some work for the startup and learned more about the team and their core technology. This feedback and recommendation is of great value to all of the friendly VCs as it saves them much time and effort for due diligence.
