Anyone involved in the design and manufacturing of any type of product does not have to be told just how difficult and complex the process can be.  There’s almost no such thing as a simple product, not when quality an reliability are requirements.  Even something as conceptually simple as designing and manufacturing a screwdriver has complexities most don’t comprehend.  From sourcing materials and tooling to rigorous environmental and usage testing, materials property selection, design-for-manufacturing, packaging, distribution and support.  No such thing as a simple product.

We come to the table with decades of experience in all aspects of design and manufacturing.  Our members have made products that go inside the human body and systems that go into orbit all the way to docking with the International Space Station.  Because of this we are able to help our clients navigate the path from idea to shipping products in ways most are not able to.

Sometimes all someone needs is to be guided into the correct path and, perhaps, help with systems, sourcing, procedures, and introductions to manufacturing partners and contract manufacturers who can become trusted partners.  This is where our product design and consulting services come into the fold.  We can help you understand how to get a product done, where to build it, how much it might cost, how long it will take and who to partner with.  

Of course, we can also help you design the product from scratch.  We can start with an idea, advise you on implementation options, design and manufacture prototypes, iterate the design to optimize for manufacturing and get it made for you at scale.  Our internal and external teams consist of people covering nearly every discipline required to make most products.  We can develop consumer products to ship into every home, industrial products aimed at factories and warehouses or, at the extremes, get your product to orbit.

The name of the company comes from the realization that something had to change in the way we approach product development and manufacturing.  Anyone who has had to wait weeks for quotes for simple prototyping of parts understands exactly what we are talking about.  And so, the idea of an “algorithm shift” in thinking became AlgoShift, the product development, consulting and manufacturing services company.

We work with trusted and vetted partners to bring you the best solutions across each level in the product development flowchart.  In doing so, we can help you streamline decision making, evaluating a range of options and actions aligned with the best course of action.
