Outsource Engineering: Benefits, Costs and 3 Reasons to Try

While using a 3rd party to fulfill services outside of your company has garnered negative attention in the past, these days it can be a regular part of a profitable business. With approximately 300,000 positions fulfilled by 3rd parties every year with a global market of $85.6 billion, it would be hard to find an industry that can't benefit from reducing their workload. That includes engineering.

The Benefits of Using An Outsourced Engineering Firm

They may include:

Lower costs
Allowing you and your team to focus on core tasks and competencies
Creating more time to develop internal staff
Maintaining operational control
Effective risk management

When it comes to engineering, having an expert team handle the elements of your current project could give you time to address a possible skills gap among your current team members without slowing down your production schedule.

The Costs of Outsourcing Your Engineering

While there is a cost for using an outsourced engineering team to handle a part of your engineering project, you can easily see this as an investment rather than a loss. With part of your project taken care of, you'll be able to accelerate your in-house timeline and get more done, allowing you to bring your product to market and start earning a return on your investment faster than you would have if you hadn't sought help.

Even better, the initial financial investment might be considerably more affordable than you think. Here at Finite Engineering, we follow a well structured engineering process to ensure your success. With us, you will always know exactly what you're paying for and will be charged only for the specific tasks required for the project.

3 Reasons to Try An Outsourced Engineering Company

If you're still on the fence about using an outside engineering firm, here are a few reasons why it may be the right call.

1. Informative and knowledgeable engineers are available when you need them.

At Finite Engineering, we work with a team of over thirty-five highly talented and dedicated professional engineers and designers with a broad range of education and experience. Intuitive and inventive with our solutions, we love coming alongside our clients, taking their good ideas, and partnering to make them great. Whatever you're working on, our team has the expertise to help get the job done.

2. Access to turnkey solutions to development bottlenecks.

Over the years, we've been able to build up a vast catalog of systems, structures, solutions, and helpful workarounds. While we always work one-on-one with each new client, our turnkey solutions take no time at all to set in place and put in motion. With our help, you'll be able to break through your production bottleneck and accelerate your pace faster than you had imagined.

Yes, it's true that every project is different. However, over the years, we've built a solid reputation for innovative ideas that have led to lasting partnerships with satisfied customers. We'd love to show you what we can do.

3. Bring your product to market faster.

When you have a fantastic product to bring to the market but realize you're losing steam, you know you're in trouble:

A decreased speed to market gives the competition the advantage when it comes to innovation, allowing them to reach your consumer first. By not prioritizing it, you give other businesses the opportunity to dominate your market, even with a less innovative product—simply because they beat you to the punch. This in turn allows you to develop a reputation for being a follower rather than an industry leader. (Prisma)

We won't let that happen.
