Product research

De-risk your IoT vision. Through deep technical exploration, market insight, and stakeholder alignment, we help you validate ideas before investing in build.

When is product research right for you?

You’re exploring technical feasibility

Validate early whether your hardware or connected concept can deliver in real-world conditions.

You want to make informed architecture decisions

Clarify your platform, protocol and integration choices before design begins.

You want confidence in what comes next

Ground your next phase in evidence, not guesswork.

Why product research matters

Technical feasibility is often overlooked, and yet,

many products fail not because they’re poorly designed,
but because they make foundational architecture or integration assumptions too late.

Through proof-of-concept prototyping, feasibility studies, and technical risk assessment, we help you choose the best path forward: quickly and with clarity.

Let's work together

Technical feasibility & prototyping

  • Evaluate hardware platforms, connectivity options, and sensor integrations early.
  • Build low-fidelity proof-of-concepts or test rigs that validate core technology assumptions.

Architecture & systems validation

  • Compare cloud vs. edge logic, data flows, and security paradigms.
  • Surface integration patterns and identify performance, scale, or compliance risks up-front.

Strategic insight & roadmap alignment

  • Highlight technical opportunities and constraints in terms the whole team understands.
  • Position findings to inform next steps: pivot, proceed, or pause with budget-aligned options.

Why we do it differently

Constant Learning

Expand your mind and discover cool stuff at our biweekly show and tell. Aaltra offers time and money to hack, learn and test.

Fair & Square

You'll never have to ask for a raise or worry about hidden agendas: we have an open salary policy with objective steps for advancement.

Work on things that matter

If we don't find a project valuable, we won't do it. This way, we ensure that we only create applications that matter.

Solve real problems for real people

Those who work at Aaltra are close to the customer. You always know the bigger picture and how your work contributes to the whole.

Healthy and inspired people are more productive

Health starts with a good balance between your work and life. We're flexible when it comes to remote work and make sure you have everything to do your work wherever and whenever you want.

Take ownership of 
your work

You know who you're working for from the initial wireframing to the application launch, and you give demos yourself.

Business-driven insights

We never treat research as an academic exercise

every validation is aimed at setting you up for success in scope, cost, and time.

Fast, iterative sprints

We surface clarity quickly so you can move forward or pivot in informed ways without wasting time.

Open and transparent

We share what's working, what's risky, and outline your options:
no polished smoke screens.

Design-informed technology

Research doesn’t sit in isolation: we align technical choices with UX needs from the outset.

Your IP, always

All code, learning, and frameworks remain yours no lock-ins.
