ATOM isn't just another product innovation agency — we're the only Innovation Accelerator that eliminates the need for multiple agencies / groups / vendors. While other firms offer limited services, forcing you to hire separate vendors over the span of 18 months, ATOM is the only firm that takes you from market research to production in (less time) months, all while creating a corporate package ready to launch—because we ARE all 4 vendors.
We ARE a turnkey, one-stop shop.
IDEA
All IDEAS begin with an inspired vision. Inspirational vision has the ability to deliver culturally impactful solutions. Our team brings unique perspectives and insights together within a stimulating environment that cultivates a balance between creativity, experience, and knowledge. We go beyond mainstream ideas to pursue solutions that deliver on practicality yet awaken the imagination of the users. When you change the way you look at things the things you look at change.
STREAM Research is the next generation insight tool that takes the uncertainty out of innovation planning. Our proprietary research method uses Voice of the Customer and Open Innovation methods, through massive online communities; drawing in crucial insights and narratives to inspire and empower innovative brand, product, and service solutions. The results from STREAM Research are both qualitative and quantitative which we use in tandem with product development.
This ultimately delivers the confidence and ability to get to market faster and generate revenue immediately as a result of knowing that your target audience will adopt, embrace and aspire to own the solution that gets launched!
DESIGN
At ATOM, our industrial designers work with clients to uncover insights and define strategies that will best engage their clients, customers or audiences. Our designers use integrated tools such as sketches, renderings, and 3-D computer modeling, to explore thoughts and concepts freely. This provides our engineering and manufacturing teams with an idea of the product early on and allows them to offer feedback before critical design decisions are made.
We take both human factors and demographics into account during the design phase. On a global scale, this means taking into consideration different body sizes, genders and ages as well are different cultures, expectations, infrastructures, beliefs, and preferences. Together, these elements provide a creative design with a much deeper understanding of markets and trends. In an increasingly globalized product market, this is more important than ever before.
ENGINEERING
ATOM’s mechanical engineers have the talent and skills to create innovative designs using the most complex procedures. Their project expertise encompasses energy mechanics, thermodynamics, kinematics, fluid mechanics and material science. They also play a vital role in prototyping, testing and evaluating products including assuring that they conform to regulatory requirements if needed.
PROTOTYPE
Companies take risks but why skip a critical step in the process and put your product’s future at stake? Experiencing the immeasurable importance of taking your product through the prototype stage will not only ensure the accuracy of the new parts and assembly but also validate any proof-of-concept at key stages. This allows stakeholders, corporations, investors and even target audiences to experience a tangible working product first hand. The information gathered from the prototyping phase gives you invaluable outcomes towards launching your product, technology or innovation into the market successfully.
From rapid prototyping SLA's to CNC machined parts using actual materials, ATOM will help you determine the best material options and processes to give you the finest result. Our team can deliver anything throughout the process. From a single 3D printed part to a rapid injection molded tool or even a pilot run of 10,000's of parts in RECORD time. No job is too small or too large. We are agile and have wide-ranging capabilities that utilize our global resources to fulfill your project’s needs.
LAUNCH
ATOM’s talented team of researchers, designers, engineers as well as marketing and branding professionals, has allowed us to bring hundreds of ideas from concept to commercialization. Our soup to nuts capabilities have resulted in 380 products and more than $3 billion in durable goods orders globally.
PROFIT
Throughout our entire product development process we evaluate and take measures to increase the success and profitability of our customers' product or service. This includes evaluating the features that will satisfy their customers’ needs; ensuring the product reinforces the brand; effectively managing costs for development and manufacturing; and bringing the product to market at the most opportune time.
