You live in the UK and I live in Australia. How can we work together?

This is a question we get asked quite often. So, in this article, we’ll look at some of the pros and cons of remote collaboration for our Australasian clients.

The European design touch

You’re looking for the ‘European design touch’: think German engineering and British design. There might be several companies in your area which will offer you an engineering solution, but not with the quality and aesthetics of a company coming from Europe.

Why is that? The UK is a more competitive market than Australia, so we have to develop smarter, more innovative products to stand out from the crowd. We also have to be able to quickly adapt to changes in the market, and our team has the experience and skillset to do just that.

This is where Innovolo comes in: we can offer you that ‘European design touch’ by using the skills of our team, many of whom are based in Europe, but also in the United States and elsewhere.

By using remote collaboration, you can work together with our team no matter where you are located.

If you are in Australia, imagine how much time and money it takes to fly over to Europe for a meeting. Now think about the people who would have to do that on a regular basis.

We can be your European engineering partner without you needing to leave your office!

Time zones

We work while you sleep and deliver it to you when you wake up. We can work together with your team and deliver on time, no matter which part of the world we are in. Working from different time zones might be difficult at first, but once you get engaged with the remote collaboration, it becomes a blessing.

Your team + our capacity = the best solution

What if your design and engineering team is too small and you want more capacity?

Or maybe you don’t have an R&D team at all?

You can now tap into our global R&D teams and work together with the best people, regardless of location. You will not need to send your own staff abroad or hire new employees. Instead, you’ll be able to work with us, solving the problems that are most important for your business success.

Limited local options:

There are fewer companies that can provide what you need locally in Australia. You might have to search farther away.

The UK has a more established design and engineering market than Australia. This means that there are more options to find the right talent for your project, and at better rates than you might be able to find locally.

We know how to work with clients who are far away. For example, we work with our clients in India, a country where many companies outsource their work. We have a lot of experience working with clients from all over the world, and we will use our expertise to make sure your project is successful.

Ultimately, in 2022, does it matter where the company is headquartered? If you are working with a partner who can provide the best solution for your company, location doesn’t really matter.

For this reason, we work with businesses no matter where they are.

If you’re based in Australia and are needing product development and design services, we can help.
