Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Emergnt Design Labs was contracted to build out a full new fishing tool for the offshore fishing market. They first were creating conceptual designs which we were able to narrow down to 2 designs that we wanted to get 3D printed. The next stage was that they would then create the CAD designs of the items, which they are extremely good at, and then we would go through a rapid-iteration stage with our 3D printer. 

Once we went through the rapid-iteration stage, they were expected to create a final production package that I could then send to a sourcing team to get sourced for me.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The measurable outcome for this project was that we would be able to seamlessly transfer the project from the engineering stage to the production stage without any hiccups.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The management of the project is top notch. They sent a weekly project update every Friday before the close of business and they made sure to follow up whenever they needed something. They are extremely good at communication and can work as fast or slow as you will allow them to.
