New Product Development process.
Accelerating New Product Implementation
Our Purpose
We create value for our clients by increasing the pace of new product development, and equipping them to deliver quality products at competitive prices.
Our Expertise
We are a tightly orchestrated team of Engineers, Technical Product Managers and Supply Chain experts. We have spent decades in high velocity product development programs, creating best in class products that you use today. This experience has taught us how to develop, source and execute new products much faster than most leadership teams think is possible.
Our Approach
Efficiency and optimization are central to the execution of rapid development projects. Drawing upon our extensive knowledge base, and best practices, we are able to move quickly through the early stages of development. Leveraging existing partnerships and thinking creatively allows us to address unique challenges and opportunities.

How Hive is Different
We’re not engineering or supply chain staffing agency...
Hive Product Development specializes in short to medium length projects that need to be done quickly. We’re not looking to fill your office with contract professionals for a year or two. We want to help solve the problems you’re dealing with today, this quarter and this year. Rather it’s a two week strategic sourcing sprint, a 6 week design sprint for a late component, a three month proof-of-concept project, or a full 12 month design/source/produce program, Hive is ready to support you.
…and we’re not just a conduit to a network of manufacturers...
While we pride ourselves on working with an extensive network of manufacturers, our goal is not to just pass them off to your program team as referrals. Instead, Hive provides direct communication and development support to your team. We know each of our partners intimately and are able to work as a cohesive member of their team, and our goal is to carry that cohesiveness into your team, to work seamlessly with your decision makers.
...we're problem solvers.
If you need support for a time critical project, reach out to us, and let's get the conversation started. At Hive we love developing products and solving supply chain issues.
