Customer orientation
The three strategic business trajectories
Imitative:
me-too products, complementary to the existing range, not present in Ilip’s product portfolio, but which competitors already offer in the markets served by the company.
Tailor-made:
customized products with standard innovative content, which are developed at the request of a single customer starting from information on sales from different markets (Italy, abroad).
Challenges:
innovative products that are developed to respond to specific market needs and that possess differentiating design, functionality, storage performance characteristics.

Time to Market for tailor-made products
Time-to-Market is a crucial element for increasing the competitiveness, flexibility, and market penetration capacity of a new product. For this reason, setting up Sprint, ILIP has created a workflow capable of giving its customers all the reliability they need.
From feasibility analysis to rapid prototyping in 3D, up to functional tests, validation, production, and supply of products, each phase takes place with certain times and optimized processes to always provide excellent results.
