Testimonials

The collaboration was successful in helping us transform an awkward prototype into an appealing functional design. Through an iterative process of evaluating and challenging the existing design, Advanta helped us solidify some design assumptions, but, more importantly, overturn others.
Ron Platt - Sagatech

We came to Advanta to draw upon their many years of Industrial Design expertise for a complex product development that required a true partnership. Simply put, our expectations were high, and Advanta met them, while staying within estimated development costs and durations.

Todd Smiley - Signal Craft Technologies

With a spike in design activity at Blackline GPS, I was faced with a decision to hire more full-time designers or contract the efforts to external resources. Advanta suggested entering a Design Services Agreement that offered advantages to both of our companies. The Design Services Agreement was easily justified financially by removing the cost of a full-time staff member from my budget. I'm extremely pleased with the quality of work and the very cost effective and efficient working relationship that we have achieved.

I have worked with Advanta over the last few years to redefine and rebrand one of Bombardier Transportation's prestige rolling stock products. I now consider Advanta a strategic partner who gave this product a new identity. This new image has become successful and has sold in projects on 3 continents.
