11. We don't expect our client to come in with a detailed plan,
clear budget and an excellent technical understanding of
what is needed for development. We strive to understand
our partner’s needs, wants and business goals. What we
look for the most, is a vision and a human connection.
We will stand by our client's product and see it as
our own and provide outstanding later-stage
support. That's why most companies who work
with us, stay with us.
KRAKUL'SPHILOSOPHY
— How we outperform by understanding our
client's client and being approachable by anyone.
13. When designing a product, we visualize how our
client’s client would use the product to achieve
maximum customer satisfaction and user experience.
Krakul’s vision is to design manageable and compelling
products requiring human factors, product design and
engineering expertise. We excel at developing the
most technically challenging products for indoor retail,
commercial and extreme outdoor environments.
Through our work, our aim is to utilise the
Internet of Things to flawlessly transform
society. We not only make great products but
provide even better later-stage support
whereas other competitors do not.

Self-driving delivery robots
We built an analog sensor system for advanced unmanned vehicles
that can carry items within a 6 km radius and navigate around objects
and people.
Our biggest challenge was to deliver high quality integrated system
designs in a fast-paced startup environment.

Unmanned aircraft systems
We designed UAV subsystems integrated into numerous Threod products,
including autopilots, payload modules, electrical components, etc.
Our biggest accomplishment was developing systems with very high
stability and reliability to be eligible for the defence sector.

18. We're designing the sensor system for a fully autonomous urban mobility
system, made for closed areas and mixed traffic environments.
Our biggest challenge is to develop a officially registered self-driving
vehicle, safe for human transportation and other drivers.

We designed and developed an IoT bike parking device with customizable
access system. Users can open and lock bike racks with smartcards, local
transportation cards or through an app using NFC.
Our biggest challenge was to develop high reliability daisy-chained devices
suitable for outdoor use.

We designed hardware platforms and software for scientific data buoys, which
fit a large number of easily installable sensors.
The most interesting part was to develop hardware capable of surviving
unforgiving marine environments while analyzing data with low margins of
error.

21. We built a smart bottle opener, which captures data the second a bottle is
opened. Using built-in sensors, the device recognizes the brand and sends data
to the cloud. Our biggest challenge was to develop a high-performance large-
scale device while maintaining a low cost.

OURPARTNERS
—What makes us love what we do
When negotiating a partnership, we always make sure
that our clients values align with our own and we have
a similar vision for the product. We deeply desire to be
proud of our partners and the products we help to
create.
APRODUCTWECANSTANDUPFOR
Great ideas cannot always be made into a reality on a
tight, limiting schedule which leaves little room for
creativity and additional development. Our operating
model allows us to be a versatile, flexible design
partner which we also prefer. We also always love to
have a direct contact with our client and stakeholders,
making the development process more agile.
FLEXIBILITYANDDIRECTCONTACT
Without great collaboration, there is no way we could
work on our optimal level. We want to trust our
partners deciscions, and our partner to trust our way of
work. To know that we and our partner are always
ready to collaborate on a project, brings a great sense
of security, highly attributing to the successful
completion of the project.
