The perfect place to face your product designing challenges.

Striving to create an emotional connection with your customer? You ended up in the right place.

With utmost happiness we got to share our beautiful journey with our client Shreya, to make you realize how as product developers we gave a boost to her success. Let us hear what she has to say about us.

I run a successful coffee shop which is usually swamped at peak hours. When I started the shop, I was stern in providing my consumers with only quality products along with a relaxing experience. From day one I knew, investing in a good coffee maker would be the best decision. I was in search of a designer who would design me a coffee maker that would make a statement through its design. I wanted them to design a machine without compromising its functionality as well. When I came in touch with Beryl India, I had a vague idea of how my product would look. From the beginning, I was very clear that I wanted a machine that would occupy a small space with multiple brewing options. In such a manner, I will be able to give a pleasant experience to my customers without making them wait for long hours. Beryl India made my notion come true. They brought in the desired functionality with an exclusive exterior design.

Products are the protagonist, but designers are filmmakers.

The team is equipped with a modular thinking system, birthed a highly sophisticated espresso machine with the most interesting features in it. It was amazing to see a minimalist exterior design with complex functionalities internally. They worked inside out without compromising my desires. When I placed it on my counter, not a single person failed to comment on the spectacular design. Whoever stepped in left the shop with a selfie near the counter holding a perpetually hot and fresh coffee. There was an increase in the sales margin as the whole experience was hit on social media. Thanks to Beryl India.

The Team members were very friendly and articulated clearly what their experts do to create the best possible customer experience. Them, as product designers were the icing on the cake. U give them a Pizza Dough; they help your Pizza with toppings that will become the firm favorites of your consumers. The team walked me step by step through the phases of a product that undergoes in their creative hands and brain. From brainstorming the most absurd of ideas to the Perfect outcome. Let me put on the plate how they explained it to me.

#1. Planting and Harvesting. The phase of Ideation

The Creators were aware that every product was distinct in its own way. They never failed to look for the slightest stimuli in the environment for a notion. They spread their wings to a wide range and embrace the ideas scattered around. The design team looked for visually appealing designs that would be evergreen in the minds of my consumers. They took into consideration the demographics as well as the human factors into account while designing my product that would stand apart from the competitors. Their designers made sure that they don’t compromise the quality in the name of quantity. It is a well-known fact that something that is packed has a huge impact on sales.

#2. Sorting and Selecting. Feasible Design Plan

How is the competition in the market? How different will it look from my competitor? Will it stand the test of time? Is it cost-effective? I had such questions that made me panic. Gracefully, they kneaded the concepts according to my satisfaction. Complete research in the field made their planning strategy best suited for my product preferences. They transformed my thoughts into a unique brand design by scrutinizing the current position of the market. They always remembered to validate all future aspects. They say, “We in Beryl India strive to make the design that is the language of a product.”

#3. Pulping and Drying. Product Design Development

Navigating the market, their design plan acted as an anchor to sustain the cut-throat market. They helped me grasp the consumer recognition needed. The developers used 3D and 2D to develop the abstract concepts and shape the distinctive design as a feast to my eyes. Being a product designer means looking out for its flawless functions and its stable outcome. In that stage, they dynamically evaluated the aesthetics and the practical stability of the design. Decisions were made on the cost of production, the reliability, the complexity involved in manufacturing with the materials needed. After all the research, a final design of the product was developed.

#4. Milling the beans. CAD and CAM Sketching

The crew used a Computer-aided design for a preview of the product. 3D worked in a way to have a deeper view of the spaces, and we gained a fuller understanding of the design. At that phase, all the improvements needed were put to work. The computer model of our design divulged the pertaining issues that were not seen during the initial designing stages. We got an opportunity to get back to scratch to make the necessary changes. CAM is Computer-aided Manufacturing. The computer-guided system allows us to see the physical prototype of the designed product.

#5. Grading/Cupping. Prototype Screening.

No one can be a Jack-of-all-trades and so they innovate and Adapt. Testing allowed them to fix any issues that cannot be compromised at any cost. They did not get carried away with their designs without proper testing. They utilized the testing process to get a thorough insight into the manufactured product for its robustness. They considered testing to be imperative to know the features better so that they could manufacture a flawless end product. They verified the relatability of the end product in comparison to the design phase.

#6. Brewing. The pilots run.

This was a collaborative phase where the crew made sure that I was satisfied with the outcome. They sternly tried to validate my expectations with the outcome. When the Collateral was finalized, we prepared to launch the concept in its physically transformed form. A double-check on the basis of real usage and target user experience was done. Most importantly, they did not shy away from getting the right product. We checked the boxes for one last time.

1. Appearance
2. Functionality
3. Quality

#7. Drinking. Get the ball rolling.

Delivering the right product was the motto of both them and us. They stood by the assurance of quality. The perfect culmination of a form fit a function that was launched in my hands. From an abstract concept to the final product, they worked with all their brain and soul to deliver the right product to me. That’s it! My ideation was ready to be manufactured in larger batches! I was also aware of the fact that, in the fast-moving world of technology, it is evident that there is always room for improvement.

#8 There is always room for more.
