Fabrolabs Innovations Private limited

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Pianni, a company that creates innovative, beginner-friendly piano products that make learning music fun, accessible, and interactive for kids and first-time players.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Fabrolabs Innovations Private limited to accomplish for your beginner-friendly piano products?

I hired Fabrolabs Innovations Private limited to design and develop the Orphea handheld piano hardware, including its electronics and firmware. I also hired them to build a functional Shopify website for Pianni that effectively showcases and sells our beginner-friendly piano products.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Fabrolabs Innovations Private limited has handled both product development and web development for Pianni. On the hardware side, their scope has included designing and prototyping the Orphea handheld piano, covering electronics (PCB design), firmware development, sound integration, and functional testing. They’ve delivered working prototypes of the device ready for iteration and manufacturing refinement.On the software side, they’ve built and customized Pianni’s Shopify website, including front-end design, product page setup, and overall site structure to support e-commerce functionality.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 2–5 teammates from Fabrolabs Innovations Private limited.

How did you come to work with Fabrolabs Innovations Private limited?

We found them through an online search. We chose them because they had high ratings, their pricing fit our budget, they were a great culture fit, and they offered good value for the cost.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $20,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The project has resulted in a fully functional prototype of the Orphea handheld piano, demonstrating core features such as sound output, key input, and firmware integration. Fabrolabs Innovations Private limited has also delivered a live Shopify storefront for Pianni, enabling us to begin selling and marketing our beginner-friendly piano products. These deliverables have allowed us to move from concept to a testable product and a working e-commerce presence, marking significant progress toward commercialization.Since Orphea is still in development, we’ve measured success through prototype performance (sound, responsiveness, and stability) and internal testing. For the Shopify site, we’ve focused on functionality, user experience, and early traffic behavior to ensure readiness for launch.

How did Fabrolabs Innovations Private limited perform from a project management standpoint?

Fabrolabs Innovations Private limited has maintained clear communication throughout the project and has been responsive to feedback and iteration requests. Given the complexity of hardware development, some deliverables have required multiple iterations and have taken longer than initially expected. However, they’ve remained engaged, adaptable, and committed to progressing the project, ultimately delivering functional prototypes and a completed Shopify website.We primarily communicate via virtual meetings and emails or messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What stood out most was their ability to handle both hardware and software development within a single team. They’ve been able to take the Orphea concept from idea to a functional prototype, covering electronics, firmware, and testing, while also building a complete Shopify storefront for Pianni. This end-to-end capability has made the process more efficient and streamlined, especially for an early-stage product.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could improve on setting clearer timelines and more consistent milestone tracking, especially for the hardware development portion of the project. Given the iterative nature of prototyping, having more structured updates and defined checkpoints would make it easier to track progress and align expectations.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

During prototype testing, we’ve encountered several typical hardware development challenges, including audio distortion at higher volumes, inconsistent key sensitivity, and tuning accuracy that requires further calibration. These issues have required multiple iterations and have made it difficult to define fixed performance benchmarks early on, as the product is still evolving.On the website side, there have been minor development and integration challenges, but nothing that has significantly impacted progress. Overall, while these setbacks have extended iteration timelines, they’ve been a normal part of the development process and have helped refine both the product and user experience.
