From design to delivery, through vision and conception, learn more about the creation process at Ergonofis. Always with the focus of providing you with the most functional and aesthetic standing desks, and in line with our commitment to sustainability and high-quality products designed for ergonomic and comfortable office environments, follow us through those 7 production steps.
1. The product vision
Because we strive to bring you the best standing desks in Canada, the first step is all about strategy. Responding to actual demand and pushing innovation, our team is always dedicated to define the product vision in the utmost details. In order to achieve this, a series of considerations are taken into account :
- Context of the product ;
- Users expected ;
- Distinctive features ;
- Choosing the best materials for the fabrication ;
- Sourcing from locally-made materials whenever possible (more than 70% from Canada) ;
- Problematics that may need to be resolved before kick-off ;
- Success criterias ;
- and even more.
2. Research
Because every good idea needs some research, special emphasis is placed on this important stage of the process. From user analysis to market research, nothing is left to chance to ensure that we fully understand what our customers actually want and need.
At this stage, a first draft of what we call the PDS is prepared. The Product Design Specification (PDS) is a document where we bring together all the useful information needed to build the future model of standing desk (or other Ergonofis accessories), facilitating and harmonizing all stages of the process. Always mindful and committed to our vision for environmental sustainability and local production !
3. Ideation
Now that the strategy is in place, the ideation stage can begin. At this level, we brainstorm to find the best concepts, sketches and models to bring our idea to life! This important step is in close relationship with the actual needs of our customers. That is why user stories actually represent a great way to help us develop the best possible concept. Among the many ideas raised, we then pick our top 3 concepts, bringing them to the next step of creation for Ergonofis standing desks and accessories, locally made in Canada.
4. Design
Keeping in mind the 10 timeless principles for good design, by Dieter Rams, design truly stands out as a key-step in the fabrication of Ergonofis standing desks and other high-end office furniture. From the top 3 concepts previously identified, our professional team is then making sure to select the very best one in order to complete the full design of the upcoming product.
Based on 3D models, plans and rendering, prototypes are also built during this stage, allowing us to test this new product in real-life scenarios.
5. Testing and validation
Dedicated to designing and creating the most durable, high-quality standing desks in Canada, Ergonofis’ team is making sure that each and every prototype has been thoroughly tested before moving on to the next stage of development. During this phase, we gather feedback from test users, ensuring these tests are carried out over a sufficient period of time to guarantee optimal long-term reliability. Always striving to create more sustainable products, both for you and for the environment.
6. Pre-launch activities
Coordinating operations and marketing, the pre-launch step consists of combining all the necessary activities to ensure smooth, efficient upcoming distribution and optimal customer satisfaction. Expected purchase volume analysis, process automation, final pricing, production, packaging and even more are some examples of questions that are seriously taken into consideration at this stage. When all marketing steps have been properly completed (promotion, photoshoot, catalog, product page on website, etc.), the official launch of the product is then ready to be made!
7. High-end standing desks & accessories delivered right to you
But the process doesn't end there! After all these manufacturing stages, the next step is to make sure that our new product will make its way directly to your home, for a more enjoyable and ergonomic workplace experience. At this point, in addition to providing fast, secure shipping across Canada and USA, we are focusing on after-sales service, ensuring your satisfaction and improving your day-to-day comfort behind your desk.
