Connected Consumer Product Development Sagentia Innovation helps consumer brands make digital transformation a reality to increase brand loyalty, market share and ultimately deliver a more valuable consumer experience. Contact us Do you have a project you'd like to discuss with our team? The ubiquity of apps, wearables, sensors and voice interfaces creates an expectation of enriched experiences, driven by data insight, that reduce not increase the complexity of consumer’s busy lives. Some of our clients come to us because they are looking to develop a completely new digital ecosystem around their products, while others want to add intelligence and connectivity to an existing product without a radical redesign. Others want to understand how to use data to generate insights that will enrich their touchpoints with consumers and their differentiation. In all cases we help our clients both to create and to capture the value of digital transformation. We take a unique approach – using the science of human experience, combined with our breadth of design and engineering skills – to help our clients identify their customers' unrealised needs, define the intelligence required to solve them, and the R&D strategy to realise the solution. We can track our sleep, for example, but will it help us sleep better? We can be alerted to the fact we’re dehydrated, but this doesn’t tell us what we should drink to replenish the body. We may also ask whether the information we get from tracking, monitoring, and measuring tells us not only what to change, but to change it. Underpinning this we have a deep understanding of the technological building blocks that enable robust, scalable digital ecosystems – for example, our own Nuvola IoT platform, which supports millions of consumers worldwide and can enable rapid pilot deployment of new connected services. Our work in Connected consumer Baby and Child Monitor: an award-winning wireless monitor Our client asked us to develop a low-cost wrist monitor worn by both the child and the parent for alerting when a baby cries or a toddler wanders off out of range. Appkettle: Rapid prototype development of smart kettle Appkettle, a UK-based start-up, wanted to create an internet enabled kettle that allowed users to control it remotely. They needed an external product development partner to help turn their concept into two high spec prototype models for demonstration at a trade show in China. Therma Tru: Opportunity discovery programme Therma Tru was successfully leading the US entry door market, but large market share, increasing price sensitivity, and rising competition led them to look for new ways to increase revenues per doorway.
